GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU! – Proverbs 3:5-6 Devotional

GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!

Proverbs 3:5-6​ – Devotional

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

When we graduated from high school in 1952 our class voted this hymn to be our class hymn to take with us. My dear wife Joyce always would brighten up when she heard the hymn and remind me it was our class hymn.

The words were composed by Civilia Martin and the music by her husband W. Stillman Martin. One Sunday afternoon Civilia was ill and her husband was on a preaching assignment. She composed the words and when her husband returned he immediately sat at his organ and wrote the music.

This song is credited for transforming the life of James Cash Penney, founder of the American department store chain J. C. Penney. He heard it one morning in the chapel of the Kellogg Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, where he had been hospitalized with a severe case of shingles, as well as exhaustion and depression.

“GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!”

1) Be not dismayed whate’er betide, God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide, God will take care of you.

Refrain: God will take care of you,
Through every day, over all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

2) Through days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you.

Refrain: God will take care of you,
Through every day, over all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

3) All you may need He will provide, God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied, God will take care of you.

Refrain: God will take care of you,
Through every day, over all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

4) No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon His breast, God will take care of you.

Refrain: God will take care of you,
Through every day, over all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

SUFFERING! – Philippians 1:12 Devotional

by | Feb 17, 2022 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

SUFFERING!

Philippians 1:12 – Devotional

Philippians 1:12

“But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel.”

Eleven years ago, in February 2011, I was lying in a hospital bed attached to tubes and gadgets that emitted strange beeping sounds all around; I had just undergone triple by-pass heart surgery. Lying there helpless, I recall thinking I needed to be about the work of the Lord. Why am I here? Does God know what He is doing?

Yes! God did know what He was doing, and the lessons I learned during that medical emergency remain with me today. God places us in difficult situations to give us the opportunity to shine brightly with His love and grace.

The apostle Paul was one of the greatest champions of the faith the world has ever known. We might be tempted to feel that God would make the way easier for such a faithful servant. Instead, Paul endured beating, stoning, lashing, shipwreck, and imprisonment in prison after prison. In fact, he wrote the letter to the Philippians from a prison cell.

We need to look around us and use our circumstances to be a good witness for Jesus. Do others see Jesus in you when you suffer?!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LET ME EXPAND! – 1 Chronicles 4:10a Devotional

by | Feb 16, 2022 | 1 Chronicles

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LET ME EXPAND!

1 Chronicles 4:10a – Devotional

1 Chronicles 4:10a

“And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me.’”

Have you ever poured out your heart to the Lord asking that He would enlarge your territories? Are you content to creep toward retirement when you could be catapulted into creative ministry?

From time to time people that I have not seen for awhile will ask me how I am enjoying retirement. I have to laugh since I am more active in ministry now than at any other time: Pastoring a small congregation, writing Daily-E-Votionals that are emailed worldwide, authoring several books, counseling, and other ministries as they arise. I just do what God sets before me to do.

Several years ago I began to pray the prayer of Jabez. I cannot begin to describe how the Lord has answered this prayer. Not only has He given me a worldwide ministry, He keeps opening new doors.

I challenge you to join in praying this prayer of Jabez. Let the Lord God give you a unique ministry that will be designed by Him just for you. I can assure you right now that you will never want to retire!

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

OUR FAITHFUL FRIEND! – Psalm 118:24 Devotional

by | Feb 15, 2022 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR FAITHFUL FRIEND!

Psalm 118:24 – Devotional

Psalm 118:24

“A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

Being alone is a sad and dismal position. We really do need each other and a friend is one of the greatest possessions we can have. Thinking back across the years of my life, I have been blessed with a wealth of friends. Some of those friends have gone on to be with the Lord, but some are still alive.

I once received a precious gift from a dear friend. Here is what it says: “A friend is one who knows you as you are, understands where you’ve been, accepts who you’ve become, and still gently invites you to grow. Cecil, Thanks for being that friend. Chris.”

As close as our dearest friend or friends may be, we have a friend who is still closer. Of course I am speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who is with us at all times. We are never really alone when others have departed, for He stays with us during the dark hours of the night.

When we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He is there beside us. When we receive devastating news, He is there to provide the comfort and solace to ease the pain. When we receive news that calls for rejoicing, He makes it even better for we have One who rejoices with us. At all times, and in every circumstance, our Dearest Friend makes our life worth living.

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

AUTHENTIC LOVE! – Joshua 23:11 Devotional

by | Feb 14, 2022 | Joshua

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

AUTHENTIC LOVE!

 Joshua 23:11 – Devotional

 Joshua 23:11

“Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.”

The more we love the Lord the more we are able to love those around us. In like manner, the less we love the Lord, the less we are able to shower those around us with the pure love of Jesus.

The world is full of false love that may best be expressed as erotic love. It actually is not love at all, but rather can better be defined as lust. The difference is that pure, God given love is expressed in being others minded.

Having a pure love for others will find us caring enough for others to pray for them and do things for them that will draw them closer to God. That means we will be aware of their spiritual needs and not only lift them in prayer, but encourage them in thought, word and deed!

We may not be able to preach like Paul, but we can share the love of Jesus with a world around us that is starving for authentic love. Be real! Let the authentic love of Jesus be seen in all that you do!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
