July 16 Devotional

Dear Friends,
I pray this devotional blesses you as you make time for being with God.  It’s awesome to think that you and I can be in communion with the Creator of the universe just by stopping what we’re doing and asking Him to be with us.  Holy Spirit, thou art welcome here!  Peace and Love, Scott

I Am Your Father-God.  Listen to Me!  Learn what it means to be a child of the everlasting King.  Your richest duty is devotion to Me.  This duty is such a joyous privilege that it feels like a luxury.  You tend to feel guilty about pushing back the boundaries of your life to make space for time alone with Me.  The world is waiting to squeeze you into its mold and to crowd out time devoted to Me.  The ways of the world have also warped your conscience, which punishes you for doing the very thing that pleases Me most:  seeking My Face.  Listen to Me above the clamor of voices trying to distract you.  Ask My Spirit to calm your mind, for He and I work in perfect harmony.  Be still and attentive in My Presence.  You are on holy ground.

Isaiah  9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,   Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Zechariah 9:9 NKJV “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!  Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!  Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.

Romans 8:15-16 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Exodus 3:5  5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
