ENTER INTO PEACE! – Isaiah 57:1-2 Devotional

ENTER INTO PEACE!

Isaiah 57:1-2 –  Devotional

Isaiah 57:1-2

“The righteous perishes, and no man takes it to heart; merciful men are taken away, while no one considers that the righteous is taken away from evil. He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.”

Sometimes I feel as if I am surrounded by death and dying. At the moment there are funerals pending and others who are near death’s door. For those who have not established a born-again relationship with Christ these are terrifying times.

For those who have passed from death to life by being born again, the pathway of death leads to the glory that the martyr Stephen experienced as recorded in Acts 7:55-56.

When a believer passes from this life it is like entering into the gates of Paradise. There is no fear and no dread. Jesus described it in His parable about the righteous man, Lazarus being carried into Paradise by angels. No fear in this parable except for the rich man who rejected God and was doomed.

As we look forward to our eternal reward we need not be overcome with fear and dread. We also need to remind ourselves that our loved ones who have died knowing the Lord are now experiencing peace, joy and delight! WOW!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!

THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS! – Philippians 4:8 Devotional

by | Aug 25, 2021 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS!

Philippians 4:8 –  Devotional

Philippians 4:8

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”

There used to be series of capital letters that seemed irrational until you grasped the meaning: GIGO. These letters meant: GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT! What we fill our minds with will result in the actions we take.

We live in a world that is like a cesspool of sin and depravity. That means we must be on guard constantly lest we be swept away with the ugliness that is so prevalent that it seems to have become the norm rather than the exception.

In his letter to the church at Philippi, Paul is giving them practical advice to be able to contend with the sin that surrounds. He stresses that our thought life determines our actions. What we choose to put into our mind will determine how we act.

What about your thought life? Are you making an effort to spend time in God’s Word and edifying things? Do you set aside time each and every day for your personal devotions and communion with the Lord? THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS!

GOD’S LAWS! – James 5:8 Devotional

by | Aug 24, 2021 | James

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S LAWS!

James 5:8 –  Devotional

James 5:8

“You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”

Sir Isaac Newton was a very brilliant man. He set forth the Laws of Motion. The first law is: A body in motion tends to remain in motion until acted upon by some outside force. The second law has sometimes been called the law of inertia. It states that: A body at rest tends to remain at rest unless impelled by some external force. The third law is: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Alright folks, that is your physics lesson for today!

Just as there are physical laws that are in control of the universe, there are spiritual laws that are designed to draw us closer to the Lord. The first spiritual law of motion is: A soul that moves toward the Lord will tend to continue moving toward Him. The problem is that the devil is trying to draw our attention away from the Lord and if we are not careful our momentum will be stopped.

There is a second spiritual law of motion is: A soul that is at rest concerning God will fail to move toward Him. The third spiritual law of motion is: For every spiritual action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Where do you find yourself in relation to the spiritual laws of motion? Have you made promises to make the Lord a priority in your life, but then failed to act upon it?

SHINE BRIGHT! – Matthew 5:16 Devotional

by | Aug 23, 2021 | Matthew

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

SHINE BRIGHT!

Matthew 5:16 –  Devotional

Matthew 5:16

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

There seems to be nothing as depressing as a dim light bulb. A light bulb is designed to give light! Just calm down, I can almost hear your protests that there are certain uses for light to be reduced in order to produce a desired effect.

Regardless of whether light is dimmed or diffused, it overcomes darkness. As the old spiritual song goes, The darker the night the brighter the light shines. I hope I have the words right, but the meaning is clear.

Many people seem to be living in a state of gloom and darkness. Sin and strife seem to pervade the very fabric of our modern world and no matter what worldly forces are used to bring order out of our chaos, they fail!

There is only one answer and that is in Jesus Christ – the LIGHT OF THE WORLD! There is another song we used to sing when I was just a boy in Camas, Washington. This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine! Let your light of Christ shine bright so others can see Jesus in you!
