August 17th Devotional

Posted on August 17, 2015 by drscott
Happy Monday Friends!
By the time you receive this, Monday will almost be over for you.  Mondays can be a crazy day for some of us.  It’s a signal that the much anticipated weekend is over, a new week is ahead and we have much to do and not enough time to do it!  When the days seems to whirl and take on a life of its own, Jesus says to say His name in prayer and know that we’re not alone.  I am reminded of the last line of our anthem on Sunday–“you are, forever, mine”.  Amen!

Find Me in the midst of the maelstrom.  Sometimes events whirl around you so quickly that they become a blur.  Whisper My Name in recognition that I am still with you.  Without skipping a beat in the activities that occupy you, you find strength and Peace through praying My Name.  Later, when the happenings have run their course, you can talk with Me more fully.

Accept each day just as it comes to you.  Do not waste your time and energy wishing for a different set of circumstances.  Instead, trust Me enough to yield to My design and purposes.  Remember that nothing can separate you from My loving Presence: you are Mine.

Philippians 2:9-11  9

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,  10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Isaiah 43:1  1 But now, this is what the LORD says—he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
