August 5th Devotional

Posted on August 5, 2015 by drscott
Dear Friends,
I have trouble sitting still.  I literally have to concentrate on sitting still during prayer time.  I actually use meditation to prepare my soul and mind to receive what God would have me receive.  Sometimes, though, I fall asleep before I get the message!  Anyway, if you’re like me, just keep on trying and don’t miss out on the blessing of being still with God.  Peace and Love, Scott

Sit Quietly In My Presence while I bless you.  Make your mind like a still pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts I drop into it.  Rest in My sufficiency, as you consider the challenges this day presents.  Do not wear  yourself out by worrying about whether you can cope with the pressures.  Keep looking to Me and communicating with Me, as we walk through this day together.

Take time to rest by the wayside, for I am not in a hurry.  A leisurely pace accomplishes more than hurried striving.  When you rush, you forget who you are and whose you are.  Remember that you are royalty in My kingdom.

Psalm 37:7 (NIV) 7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Romans 8:16-17 (NIV) 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

1 Peter 2:9 (NIV) 9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
