October 29 Devotional

Dear Friends,
I just took a little test to calculate how long I’ll live.  None of the questions mentioned my spiritual practices, only physical ones and family history.  I believe our spiritual practices are just as important as our physical ones when it comes to living a balanced, healthy life.  How we handle stress (FROG=Fully Rely on God!) and fellowship with one another are great spiritual practices that improve our quality of life.  I’m not going to tell you what my “score” was.  Let’s just say I plan to be around a LONG time, Lord willing!  But, in the mean time, quality time with our Creator makes each day special.  For that I’m grateful!  And for you as well.  Be blessed!  Hugs and Love, Scott

Linger In My Presence A While.  Rein in your impulses to plunge into the day’s activities.  Beginning your day alone with Me is essential preparation for success.  A great athlete takes time to prepare himself mentally for the feat ahead of him before he moves a muscle.  Similarly, your time of being still in My Presence equips you for the day ahead of you.  Only I know what will happen to you this day.  I have arranged the events you will encounter as you go along your way.  If you are not adequately equipped for the journey, you will grow weary and lose heart.  Relax with Me while I ready you for action.

Ephesians 2:10 10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Hebrews 12:3
3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
