WONDERFUL PEACE! – John 14:27 Devotional

by | May 20, 2022 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WONDERFUL PEACE!

John 14:27 – Devotional

John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you: not as the world gives do I give I to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

 

We seem to be constantly bombarded with the talk of peace. As a young boy I recall pictures of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain waving a document in his hand and saying he had just met with Adolf Hitler and had secured a promise of peace. His words were, “I have returned from Germany with peace for our time.”

The sad reality was that the world was soon to be exposed to the horrible reality of a war waged by a mad man who intentionally tried to exterminate Jews and other ethnic groups. There was no peace then or now!

From the day that Adam and Eve sinned and were evicted from the garden there has been strife, conflicts and wars. For all of the rhetoric about attaining peace we are no closer to world peace, nor will we ever be until Jesus comes again. What a fantastic day it will be when there is eternal peace — Wonderful Peace.

WONDERFUL PEACE

1. Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Refrain: Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

2. I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul!

Refrain: Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

3. Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime!

Refrain: Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

TRUST IN THE LORD! – Proverbs 3:5-6 Devotional

by | May 19, 2022 | Proverbs

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TRUST IN THE LORD!

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 submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Over the years I have kept Proverbs 3:5-6 in my heart. I am not sure at what age I set the words to memory, but it certainly has been more than seventy years ago. That is the thing about the Word of God — it never changes. We may change, but the Word of God remains steadfast and true.

To trust means we rely on the strength or ability of someone or something. As we read today’s Scripture we see how vital it is for us to rely on the One who is above all others?

Our task is to place our full trust in the Lord completely. That means we talk with Him as we read His Word and, before we take any action we ask for His will in the matter. Just think of all the messy situations we could have avoided across the years of our lives if we had placed our trust in Him rather than relying on our own abilities or our own understanding.

We may not be able to undo all of our past mistakes when we have left the Lord out of our decisions, but we can certainly do something about it now. We can make a new commitment to repeat these two verses each morning and then follow His directions, TRUST IN THE LORD!

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

PRAY BEFORE YOU SPEAK! – James 3:8 Devotional

by | May 18, 2022 | James

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

PRAY BEFORE YOU SPEAK!

James 3:8 – Devotional

James 3:8

“No one can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.”

Back in the 1950’s I was attending college and also working as the Juvenile Probation Officer for the county. The Juvenile Court Judge was a wise old veteran of the early days in the area.

I remember one of his favorite nuggets of ironic wisdom that he was usually quick to speak when someone did or said something foolish: “That man (or woman) is so foolish that when they speak, they subtract from the sum total of human intelligence!”

Do you know anyone like that? On a more personal note, do you sometimes realize that you fit the description yourself? I think we all can recall times when we would have been wiser to remained silent – – after we spoke rashly. I know I have!

One thing I have attempted to do (I need to do it more often) is to pray quick and silent prayers for the Lord to give me the right words – – before I say something. That moment of silent appeal to the Lord, yields wisdom that is from above and usually is healing rather than harmful. May the Lord tame our tongue and allow the words of our mouth to heal rather than to hurt.

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

REMEMBER! – Deuteronomy 32:7 Devotional

by | May 17, 2022 | Deuteronomy

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.”

There are mental conditions that slither into a person’s life and gradually, or even rapidly, decrease the cognitive abilities that once were there. Sometimes we hear people crassly remark that someone has lost a cog.

That insensitive statement should never be uttered by a committed follower of Jesus Christ. We should be the most tolerant and accepting of those who may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, when it comes to intelligence.

Jesus revealed a pattern of acceptance that accepted those that most respectable people of His day completely rejected. I fear that we as believers tend to show some form of favoritism to those who are different than we are.

I say thank the Lord we are not all the same. I have enough faults for scores of people and I am sure you have a few faults of your own. Thank the Lord, He does not grade us on our faults but on His shed blood. REMEMBER – we are saved and sanctified by His shed blood!

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