April 20 Devotional

Posted on April 20, 2015 by drscott
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I want to thank you all again for participating in our Confirmation service yesterday afternoon.  It was a beautiful hour of worship and I know God was pleased with all that He saw as all of heaven rejoiced when each child said “yes, I believe”!  Thank you for supporting all of our kids and honoring your pledge to nurture them when they became baptized into our church family.  Your presence is a BIG deal to them, the parents and grandparents.  May God richly bless you for your faithfulness!  Peace and Love, scott

Come To Me with empty hands and an open heart, ready to receive abundant blessings. I know the depth and breadth of your neediness. Your life-path has been difficult, draining you of strength. Come to Me for nurture. Let Me fill you up with My Presence: I in you, and you in Me.

My power flows most freely into weak ones aware of their need for Me. Faltering steps of dependence are not lack of faith; they are links to My Presence.

John 17:20-23 20“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one:23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

Isaiah 40:29-3129 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
