GOD IS WITH US! – Matthew 1:23 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD IS WITH US!

Matthew 1:23 – Devotional

Matthew 1:23

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”

Sometimes it seems we are the only one standing firm for the Lord. All around us there is sin and debauchery. At times like these we are confronted with two choices. Either go with the flow and violate our sacred standards, or walk alone and risk being labeled a fanatic.

I have often found myself being the only spiritual “freak” in the midst of godless associates. It is during these moments when I most need the strength of the Lord. It is then that I relish the concept of Emmanuel. I am assured that regardless of the trial or test I face, I am never alone – – God is with me!

You may be facing a situation in your life that is causing you stress and anxiety. Remember that we are told to roll all of our cares upon Him for He cares for us. Not only does the Lord care for us, but He alone has the power to fight our battles for us.

As you go into the world this day, remember you are not alone. It may seem that you are out-numbered and over-powered, but be assured that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. With God with us – we win!

Blessings dear hearts! God is with us today so let us be a blessing!

WHAT GOD REQUIRES! – Micah 6:8 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WALK-RUN-FLY!

Isaiah 40:31 – Devotional

Isaiah 40:31

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Some dear friends and former members of our congregation were in service yesterday. Several years ago they moved to the State of Florida, which is on the opposite side of the United States.

They travelled by car to arrive here, which was only one mode of transportation they could have chosen. The fastest and perhaps the least taxing on the body would be to fly, but it would prevent them from visiting friends along the way.

In this life we are presented with many choices. None of the choices we choose should be made without spending time with the Lord to seek His will for our daily walk. It is a sad thing for people to live an indifferent life toward God and call out to Him only when in trouble.

God is always there to hear us! If we do not feel His presence it is not because He is far from us, but because we have chosen to distance ourselves from Him. Fly quickly into His arms and allow Him to carry you on your journey!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk-Run-Fly with God today and be a blessing.

I WONDER AS I WANDER! – Isaiah 40:3-5 Devotional

I WANDER AS I WANDER!

Isaiah 40:3-5 – Devotional

Isaiah 40:3-5

“A voice of one calling: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’”

“I Wonder As I Wander” is a Christmas hymn written by folklorist John Jacob Niles (1892-1980), based on a song fragment he heard while traveling in the southern Appalachians.

Niles derived the germ of the song from Annie Morgan, the young daughter of a traveling evangelist, in Murphy, North Carolina, in 1933. He then composed a complete folk song that he performed while accompanying himself on dulcimer.

I Wonder As I Wander by John Jacob Niles

I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die.
For poor on’ry people like you and like I…
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

When Mary birthed Jesus ’twas in a cow’s stall,
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.
But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall,
And the promise of ages it then did recall.

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing,
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing,
Or all of God’s angels in heav’n for to sing,
He surely could have it, ’cause he was the King.

I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die.
For poor on’ry people like you and like I…
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
