LABOR IN THE WORD! – 1 Timothy 5:17 Devotional

LABOR IN THE WORD!

1 Timothy 5:17​ –  Devotional

1 Timothy 5:17

“Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.”

Today in the United States as well as in some other countries, we celebrate Labor Day. That is rather a misnomer since it is a day away from labor and the last day of summer vacations.

Paul is writing to his son in the faith, Timothy and admonishing him as well as all who read his letter that honor is due the elders who labor in the Word of God. I am here to tell you that it is often hard to dig deep in the Word to find the meaning and purpose God has designed for us to reveal.

I have never found it a hard and meaningless task to search the bible for answers. It is like being on an exciting treasure hunt that has a valuable prize just waiting to be discovered. It often takes time and effort, but the rewards are worth it.

If you are not laboring in the precious word of God, I challenge you to make a start. Devote a set time each day to read and meditate on the word that brings light and salvation to a lost and dying world, then share it with others.

Blessings dear hearts. May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

THERE IS A FOUNTAIN! – John 4:13-14 Devotional

by | Sep 3, 2021 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THERE IS A FOUNTAIN!

John 4:13-14 –  Devotional

John 4:13-14

“Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

The composer of this week’s hymn is William Cowper. He was born in England in the year 1731. He suffered many personal losses during his early years that caused him much mental anguish. Loss after loss of those that were close brought him to the brink of despair.

Through all of his ordeals the Lord kept drawing him. He finally received Jesus as his personal Savior and began writing hymns and poetry. It is fascinating that he lived in a small house just behind the home of his pastor, John Newton, who wrote the wonderful hymn, Amazing Grace. Thank the Lord for the fountain of redeeming blood that cleanses us from all of our sin.

THERE IS A FOUNTAIN

1. There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains.

2. The dying thief rejoiced to see, that fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.

3. Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood, shall never lose its power.
Till all the ransomed church of God, are saved, to sin no more.

4. For since by faith I saw the stream, Thy flowing wounds supply.
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.

5. When this poor lisping, stammering tongue, lies silent in the grave.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing thy power to save.

LEAD ON LORD JESUS! – Romans 8:18 Devotional

by | Sep 2, 2021 | Romans

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LEAD ON LORD JESUS!

Romans 8:18​ –  Devotional

Romans 8:18

“I consider the sufferings and trials of this of this sin-sick world are not worth worrying about when we consider the glory that waiting for us.”

In the past few weeks I have spent a considerable amount of time in a dental chair. As I enter the dental office I have a good idea of the ordeal that awaits me, but the alternative is poor dental health. I endure the pain in order to receive the reward.

Many years ago I had a dental appointment in Ontario, Oregon. The dentist asked if I wanted deadening or not. I thought he was kidding, but he was serious. He explained that he never used Novocain and he survived to live another day!

I thought if he could do it, so could I. Dental professionals think I am either brave or crazy. I just keep them guessing which is true. The fact of the matter is that pain is more fear of what might hurt than what actually hurts.

I have no idea what the Lord will bring across my path in the days that lie ahead for me. It really does not matter for I know that He will be right there beside me each step of the way. LEAD ON LORD JESUS!

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