IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL! – Psalm 107:29-30 Devotional

by | Sep 24, 2021 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL!

Psalm 107:29-30 –  Devotional

Psalm 107:29-30

“He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and He guided them to their desired haven.”

It seems that each of us is called upon to face storms in our life. It may be physical infirmity, financial reversals or the loss of a loved one. It is not the storm that matters, but how we react to the storm.

Back in 1873, Horatio Spafford and his family were scheduled to sail on the French steamer ‘Ville de Havre’ from New York to England where he was to assist the great evangelist, D.L. Moody. Because of a last minute business crisis Mr. Spafford sent his family on ahead and he would follow on a later ship.

Unfortunately the ship his family was on collided with another ship and sank. There was a terrible loss of life. Spafford and his wife lost their four daughters. Nine days later Horatio Spafford received a cable from his wife that simply said, “Saved alone.” What poignant words.

Later, as he was sailing to meet his wife, he asked the captain to let him know when they were near where the accident had occurred. It was there that he penned the words of this week’s hymn, “It Is Well with My Soul.”

It Is Well With My Soul

1. When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

2. My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain: It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

3. And Lord haste the day, when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Refrain: It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

ONLY BY HIS GRACE! – Ephesians 2:8-9 Devotional

by | Sep 23, 2021 | Ephesians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

ONLY BY HIS GRACE!

Ephesians 2:8-9 –  Devotional

Ephesians 2:8-9

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

More and more I am thrilled that Jesus opened the gates of glory to those whom were rejected by the self-righteous religious leaders of His day. Those who took pride in themselves were rejected by the Lord. He gave Himself freely to the very ones whom the spiritual elite of His day rejected.

I have always been drawn to those who have been rejected by the so-called normal people of the world. That may be the result of my own rejection in my early childhood days. I was always the last one chosen when teams were selected. I felt that I was considered a liability rather than an asset.

As a young boy, when I received Jesus as my personal Savior, I suddenly felt that I had been accepted just as I was. I was loved by the God of the universe and I now had purpose in my life.

As I read the gospels I discover that Jesus always reached out to the people like me. It was not what I did for Him that mattered, but what I allowed Him to do for me! I still want that for my life. It is not by my works but; ONLY BY HIS GRACE!

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

CHOOSE LIFE! – Deuteronomy 30:19 Devotional

by | Sep 22, 2021 | Deuteronomy

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

CHOOSE LIFE!

Deuteronomy 30:19 –  Devotional

Deuteronomy 30:19

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”

Life is filled with choices. My granddaughter called a few hours ago and requested prayer about a decision that is confronting her. As I pray about her request, and numerous others that have been placed before me, I feel inadequate to answer.

The Lord has given us His precious Word as our guide and the Precious Holy Spirit to enlighten the path that lies before us. The answer to what steps we are to take may not be made plain to us immediately, but we always need to seek His guidance.

Today’s Scripture was a plea from Moses to the people of Israel who were about to enter the Promised Land. Moses would not enter with the people he had led out of bondage because of failure to follow God’s command exactly.

We need to always seek the voice of the Lord in our Bible study and prayer. It may only be a still, small voice, but God will speak to us when we take time to listen carefully for His precious whisper in our spirit.

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

GODLY DISCIPLINE! – Isaiah 38:16 Devotional

by | Sep 21, 2021 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GODLY DISCIPLINE!

Isaiah 38:16 –  Devotional

Isaiah 38:16

“O Lord, Your discipline is for our good. It is kind and gentle and leads us to health here on earth and life eternal. It is by You that we receive health and life.”

As a boy our family moved to a new town and naturally I was enrolled in a new school. I think I was in the fifth grade and my new teacher was much like a Marine Corps drill sergeant. I didn’t realize this until I made some minor infraction and suddenly felt her ruler slam down on my hand.

That was not the end of the matter. The force of her blow caused the ruler to break and she exploded in anger and held me responsible for the broken ruler. I was sent to the principal’s office where I was told to behave myself in the future. (My teacher was terminated at the end of the school year. I think she blamed me.)

I am so glad we serve a God who has lived on earth as a human and experienced all of the circumstances that each of us face. He was confronted with injustice, scorn and pain, yet He endured it all. He died that we might live.

We all face times of godly discipline, but thank God they are not the sort as my grade school teacher dispensed. Godly discipline loves us enough to die for us that we might live for Christ. I like that sort of discipline. No broken ruler!
