August 24 Devotional

Dear Friends,
What a lovely morning of worship and celebration of our lives together.  I am so grateful for your presence each and every week!  Thank you all for sharing love, life and all that goes with a relationship through Christ.  God is indeed Good and with us all the time.  May you continue to feel His presence each and every day as you seek His will for your lives.  Peace and Love, Scott

I Am All Around You, hovering over you even as you seek My Face.  I am nearer than you dare believe, closer than the air you breathe.  If My children could only recognize My Presence, they would never feel lonely again.  I know every thought before you think it, every word before you speak it.  My Presence impinges on your innermost being.  Can you see the absurdity of trying to hide anything from Me?  You can easily deceive other people, and even yourself but I read you like an open, large-print book.

Deep within themselves, most people have some awareness of My imminent Presence.  Many people run from Me and vehemently deny My existence, because My closeness terrifies them.  But My own children have nothing to fear, for I have cleansed them by My blood and clothed them in My righteousness.  Be blessed by My intimate nearness.  Since I live in you, let Me also live through you, shining My Light into the darkness.

Psalm 139:1-4  1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.  2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.  3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

Ephesians 2:13
13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:21
21God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
