WHAT GOD REQUIRES! – Micah 6:8 Devotional

WHAT GOD REQUIRES!

Micah 6:8 – Devotional

Micah 6:8

“He has shown you, what is good; and what the LORD requires of you, just to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Over the years I have counseled scores of individuals and preached to many and assorted congregations. Yet I always fear that many who may be listening are not really hearing. The words go out but all too often they are filtered through ears that are tuned to hear only what they want to hear.

I have to be honest and confess that this used to concern me. I felt it was my responsibility for the hearers to grasp what I was saying. This erroneous attitude left me weary and worn. Sadly, there have been many who refused to heed my words, and the Holy Spirit’s appeal.

Through Bible study and prayer I have come to realize that my responsibility is to share the truth the Lord reveals to me, in the simplest manner possible, and then leave the results up to Him.

What is God lying upon your heart to do for Him? Rather than try to get away from the Lord’s call, spend time in prayer and Bible study. Allow the Lord to lead and guide you to a fulfilling life of service for Him!

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

WAIT FOR GOD’S TIMING! – Deuteronomy 23:24 Devotional

by | Dec 15, 2021 | Deuteronomy

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WAIT FOR GOD’S TIMING!

Deuteronomy 23:24 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 23:24

“When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes at your pleasure, but you shall not put any in your container.“

Years ago when my boyhood friend and I invaded our neighbor’s vineyard we had no idea there was Scripture that seemed to permit us to eat the grapes. All we knew was that there were Concord grapes that were begging for us to eat them. The problem was that we often picked them before they were ripe. The consequence was the green grapes made us sick.

Many times in our life we run ahead of God and try to pick spiritual “grapes” before they are ripe. God’s timing is always so much better than ours. He knows the heart of each individual.

One day I spoke with a widow in a cemetery who was sobbing pitifully. She shared with me that someone had stolen flowers from her husband’s grave and had also taken the grave marker. All I could do was listen to her and pray for her. We eventually were able to replace the grave marker.

God knows when the timing is right. We need to watch carefully for the season to progress and the fruit become ripe. We need to always be ready to glean in the Lord’s vineyard. He will bring the increase.

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

A GLIMPSE OF GLORY! – Psalm 27:5 Devotional

by | Dec 14, 2021 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A GLIMPSE OF GLORY!

Psalm 27:5 – Devotional

Psalm 27:5

“For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock.”

Just because we are promised that God will protect us does not mean that we are not going to pass through times of pain and suffering. It has always been true that the times of our most effective witness for the Lord is when we are suffering the most.

Please keep in mind the reality that while God never promises to remove us from the times of pain and suffering, He does promise to be with us in the midst of our pain and suffering!

I frequently bring to mind the stoning of Stephen. God was certainly able to remove Stephen from the pain of his suffering, but without it we no doubt would never hear his glorious testimony.

God gave Stephen a glimpse of glory in the midst of his stoning. I am sure he would tell us that the stones that took his life were of little significance when the Lord parted the curtains of heaven to give him a glimpse of glory. I pray that the Lord will give each of us a glimpse of glory this day!

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

GOD’S LOVING DISCIPLINE! – Hebrews 12:6 Devotional

by | Dec 13, 2021 | Hebrews

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S LOVING DISCIPLINE!

Hebrews 12:6 – Devotional

Hebrews 12:6

“For the LORD disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one He accepts as His child.”

I did not consider myself to be an abused child even though there were times when it was much easier to stand than to try sitting on my “seat of discipline”—if you get my drift. Let’s face it—my bottom was sore from the spanking. Did the discipline mean my parents did not love me? Not on your life! They loved me enough to not allow me to continue an action that was wrong.

I recall as a Juvenile Probation officer being called to pick up a 15 year old girl that had been arrested and take her home. My wife Joyce and I met the police and had her in the back seat of the car as we drove her home. I mentioned that her dad would no doubt discipline her when she got home. She stunned us with this statement: “My dad doesn’t love enough to discipline me!”

Sometimes God brings His judgment upon those who violate His commands. Does that mean that He does not love us? Not on your life! As a matter of fact it is proof that He loves us enough to discipline. His discipline is proof of His love!

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