May 25 Devotional

Dear Friends,
I hope you all are having a nice Memorial Day.  Yesterday’s services were wonderful!  Thank you all so much for making the effort (rain or shine!) to honor those who have given their all.  It truly is humbling.  I pray God blesses you for your faithfulness and servant hearts.  Today’s devotional is about problems.  We all have them in different ways and in different circumstances.  God says to turn them over to Him and together, hand in hand, burdens are a little lighter and your problems less problematic.  Love, Scott

The World Is Too Much With You, My child.  Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots.  When you think like that, you leave Me out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened.  I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you.

When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter.  Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together.  Your compulsion to “fix” everything give way to deep, satisfying connection with Me.  Together we can handle whatever this brings.

Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Zephaniah 3:17  17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

Psalm 34:19 The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
