O COME, O COME EMMANUEL! – Isaiah 7:14 Devotional

by | Dec 10, 2021 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

O COME, O COME EMMANUEL!

Isaiah 7:14 – Devotional

Isaiah 7:14

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Emmanuel.”

The name Emmanuel is interpreted “God with us.” There are many Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah. The encouragement that His coming entails is that God Himself will descend and make His appearance to save the people from their sins. Thank God He has come!

The “Day-Spring” referenced in the third stanza below is an encouragement for us as we travel through the long and dark times of our life. I am overjoyed that God has cared so much for us that He has sent salvation to us by grace through faith!

O COME, O COME EMMANUEL!

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height,
In ancient times did’st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

LOOK ABOVE THIS WORLD! – Colossians 3:2 Devotional

by | Dec 9, 2021 | Colossians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LOOK ABOVE THIS WORLD!

Colossians 3:2 – Devotional

Colossians 3:2

“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

Well educated scientists seemingly have things all figured out. The question arises as to what is it they think they have all figured out, and why does what they have all figured out change on a regular basis?

The answer is that the wisdom of man is subject to the all-knowing mind of Christ who is the blessed creator and sustainer of all things. As long as mankind rejects the truth of God they walk in darkness.

I must confess that there are a vast number of things I do not know, but the things I do not know are insignificant in the realization that the most important thing I do know is that my name is written down in glory and my eternity is assured in the providence of God!

As I am regularly confronted with news concerning the failing health and welfare of friends and family, I have the sweet assurance that the Lord wants me to look above the things of this world and trust Him. When people ask us how to face a dismal future we can with sweet assurance tell them; “LOOK ABOVE THIS WORLD!”

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

ONE WAY STREET! – John 14:6 Devotional

by | Dec 8, 2021 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

ONE WAY STREET!

John 14:6 – Devotional

John 14:6

“Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father except by me.”

As born-again believers of Jesus Christ, we stand apart from other man-created belief systems. There is no doubt that we are exclusive and demand that there is only one way to eternal salvation.

Before you get your hackles up read once again what Jesus Himself says in today’s Scripture. He is not (a way), (a truth), or (a life). He is the (only way), the (only truth), and the (only life)! To deny that fact and try to replace it with other belief systems is to condemn one’s self to an eternity without God! Don’t go there!

The magnificent gift that Jesus has extended to anyone who will accept His gift is an eternal home in glory. At the beginning of John 14, Jesus assures all believers in Him that He is at this very moment preparing a specially designed home in glory just for us.

To live for Jesus is to recognize that we live on a one-way street that leads directly to our eternal home. Until we get home we have work to do, so let us never get weary in working for Jesus with joy and rejoicing!

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

REMEMBER! – Deuteronomy 32:7 Devotional

by | Dec 7, 2021 | 2 John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

REMEMBER!

Deuteronomy 32:7 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 32:7

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.”

Back in the 1950’s, Dinah Shore was a popular vocalist. One of her popular hits was the song, “You Forgot To Remember!” I can’t recall the words, but the title is easy to recall. It sounds like a contradiction, but it is all to true of many of us.

Promises are far easier to make than to fulfill. There have been several times in my life when those who I trusted broke promises that were made. The result caused pain and suffering for me personally, but also to my family.

I can honestly say that I have come to see that whether I have little of this world’s stuff or more than enough, it is not mine! It is only given to me to be used by the Lord for His purposes. In order to discover what His purposes are, I must spend time with the Lord by the study of His Word and prayer!

Remember that the Lord inhabits His Word and the praise of His people! It is far too easy to be blinded by the glitz and glamour of the world. Take time to search for the things of eternal value. Remember He first loved us! Return His love!

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