THE REAL YOU! – Philippians 2:3-4 Devotional

by | Oct 6, 2021 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE REAL YOU!

Philippians 2:3-4​ –  Devotional

Philippians 2:3-4

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

If you were asked to describe yourself, what would you say? Without using titles, educational degrees or financial standing, what are the qualities that would best describe you? What makes you the person you are?

Some people feel if they attain a particular goal they have set for themselves, they have arrived! It usually is only a short period of time before they realize that “arriving” is not what they had expected. They may have met their objective, but it only left them feeling empty. They do things for other people expecting them to return the favor. If the response is less than expected, they are crushed.

I love the way Paul explains it in today’s Scripture. He boldly suggests that some people do good works for selfish motives. Their objective is to accomplish things so people will think highly of them. If they are not appreciated they feel that they are failures.

Now is the time for self examination. Are you doing acts of righteousness only to please the Lord or in order to gratify yourself? Let the real you do for others who will never be able to return the favor.

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

A SPECIAL BLESSING! – 2 Corinthians 13:11 Devotional

by | Oct 5, 2021 | 2 Corinthians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A SPECIAL BLESSING!

2 Corinthians 13:11​ –  Devotional

2 Corinthians 13:11

“Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”

Over the years I have sat at the bedside of the sick and dying. I have prayed for and prayed with those who are seconds away from eternity. While I may be a empathetic as possible toward them, I can only entrust them into the loving arms of the Savior who also died, but He died so they can live forever.

That is the special blessing that is reserved for those of us who have died to self and can face the end of our time here on earth with confidence and assurance. We can live with confidence knowing that Jesus has died for us that we may live forever with Him!

What a special blessing and a special gift. I have been reminded of this special gift for the born-again believer who is seconds away from receiving the greatest gift that could ever be given – – eternal life!

Since we have been given such a glorious blessing, we need to share it with anyone who will listen. Some will laugh and call us delusional, but we need to offer them the special blessing of eternal life!

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

GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL! – James 3:13 Devotional

by | Oct 4, 2021 | James

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL!

James 3:13​ –  Devotional

James 3:13

“Let the one who is wise and understanding among you demonstrate it by good conduct accomplished with meekness and wisdom.”

In the military there are medals awarded for a variety of reasons. If you were to observe the dress uniform of a seasoned veteran, you would see row after row of medals for various accomplishments. One of these medals is the Good Conduct Medal. It is awarded to all who stay out of trouble for an entire year. Yeah!

I know it is no big deal, but for many that first medal was one of the first positive affirmations they had ever received. Let’s face it; the world tends to be harsh and unfeeling leaving many feeling like outsiders.

The Lord has given those who have trusted Him for salvation the most glorious good conduct medal. It is not because of what we have done or will do for Him, but what He has provided for us. Salvation, full and free!

The eternal salvation which we have in Christ is offered freely to us, but it cost Jesus His sinless life. He who knew no sin took upon Himself our sin and paid the price that we may receive His GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL! Be sure to wear it with honor!
