Dear Friends,
I watched a documentary last night about some folks hiking the John Muir Trail in California. The breathtaking scenery during the 211 mile trek was inspiring to say the least! Might be a “bucket list” sorta thing to do some day! Today’s devotional is very much about the journey we are all on as we live out our lives. Just like the JMT, there are challenges along the way–peaks, valleys, rough roads, treacherous passes etc. but through it all, God is with us. Be blessed on your journey and thanks for letting me tag along! Hugs, scott

Seek My Face more and more. You are really just beginning your journey of intimacy with Me. It is not an easy road, but it is a delightful and privileged way: a treasure hunt. I am the Treasure, and the glory of My Presence glistens and shimmers along the way. Hardships are part of the journey too. I mete them out ever so carefully, in just the right dosage, with a tenderness you can hardly imagine. Do not recoil from afflictions, since they are among My most favored gifts. Trust Me and don’t be afraid, for I am your Strength and Song.
Psalm 27:8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Psalm 27:8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek.
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
Isaiah 12:2 Surely God is my salvation: I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord is my strength and my song: he has become my salvation.
