BE OTHERS MINDED! – Philippians 2:3 Devotional

by | Feb 8, 2022 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

BE OTHERS MINDED!

Philippians 2:3 – Devotional

Philippians 2:3

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself.”

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

In today’s Scripture Paul 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.

Others feel if they attain a particular objective, they would have arrived. It usually is only a short period of time before they realize that “arriving” is not what they had expected. It only left them feeling empty.

Paul gives the solution to the problem. BE OTHERS MINDED! Make it our aim to consider others more important than our self. It often will involve doing for others who will never be able to return the favor. Now is the time for self examination. “Who are you?” Are you doing acts of righteousness only to please the Lord or in order to gratify yourself?

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

LET JESUS BE SEEN! – Proverbs 3:5-6 Devotional

by | Feb 7, 2022 | Proverbs

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LET JESUS BE SEEN!

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Devotional

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with your whole heart and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways give God the credit, and He will direct you.”

Day after day and year after year I sit here at my computer and make a valiant attempt to find the right words to touch some person who stands in need of that very word.

It reminds me that I am not responsible on who reads the words that the Lord places in my heart, I only place my complete trust in the Lord and allow Him to direct the right words to the right person at the right time.

It sounds simple when I write it like that, but in reality I most often feel I fail to get the word across the net to the one who needs it. From the very first I have prayed that one person will be touched by what the Lord enables me to write.

My encouragement to each reader is to place your trust in the Lord. Make it your aim to pass the good news of salvation to those around you. Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in and through you!

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

TO YOU BEFORE THE CLOSE OF DAY! – Isaiah 26:3 Devotional

by | Feb 4, 2022 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TO YOU BEFORE THE CLOSE OF DAY!

Isaiah 26:3 – Devotional

Isaiah 26:3

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”

Years ago I recall listening to a sermon tape by Donald Grey Barnhouse, a prominent pastor and teacher. He related that years earlier he was returning by train from an evangelistic meeting he had completed several hundred miles from his home in Philadelphia. He had received a telegram that informed him his son had been in a serious accident and was near death.

His only way back to Philadelphia was by rail and he knew that it would be hours before his train arrived back home. There was nothing he could do but leave his son in God’s hands. As Dr. Barnhouse entered his sleeper, his spirit was greatly disturbed.

As he prayed, he recalled a phrase from Isaiah 65:25, “- – – but dust will be the serpent’s food.” Using that passage he asked the Lord to feed the serpent dust, and to please grant him a good night’s rest. He fell fast asleep and the next thing he knew the porter was touching his shoulder to tell him that they were nearing Philadelphia. The Lord had answered his prayer.

By the way, his son lived and during his time of recuperation committed his life to full time Christian service. If you have been having trouble getting to sleep at night, ask the Lord to give you His blessed rest and to feed the serpent dust.

TO YOU BEFORE THE CLOSE OF DAY

1. To You before the close of day,
Creator of the world we pray!
Your grace and peace to us allow,
And be our guard and keeper now.

2. From evil dreams defend our sight,
From all the terrors of the night.
From all deluding thoughts that creep,
On heedless minds disarmed by sleep.

3. O Father, this we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Your only Son.
Who with the Holy Spirit and with You,
Shall live and reign all ages through.
