THE SANDS OF ETERNITY! – Ecclesiastes 3:11 Devotional

by | Jul 15, 2022 | Ecclesiastes

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE SANDS OF ETERNITY!

Ecclesiastes 3:11 – Devotional

Ecclesiastes 3:11​

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.”

Years ago I heard a minister tell of an incident in a hospital elevator where he had just come from visiting a very ill patient. A young man overheard him speak about eternity and, perhaps wanting to mock his view, asked the minister where eternity was. The minister told the boy to place his hand on his chest to feel the beat of his heart. “Young man, eternity is one heartbeat away!” That may answer where eternity is or at least how close we are to it, but just how long is eternity?

Our daughter was in the hospital near death. One afternoon as the two of us spoke quietly, she said she felt she was cheated out of half of her life. She went on to say that Grandpa was 74 when he died and here she was just 35.

That evening as I drove into the garage I noticed that the car had been bringing in sand. I took out a sheet of typing paper and swept up some of the sand. I then sat at the kitchen table and counted out 74 grains. Some were larger than others, but all of them were quite small. I placed the 74 grains of sand in a tiny sample perfume bottle.

The next day as I entered her room I placed the bottle on her bed. When she asked what it was I told her it was Grandpa. I asked her to imagine the earth being nothing but fine sand. Each grain represented one year of eternity. The 74 grains in the bottle represented Grandpa’s life. Compared to the entire globe of sand it was nothing. Whether a person’s life lasted long or short, compared to eternity it was nothing.

It is what we do with the years we are given that matters. We can choose to confess our sins and accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior or we can continue our own willful way and suffer the dreadful consequences prepared for the lost.

I pray that the video that accompanies today’s Daily-E-Votional will assist you in making the right choice. Please feel free to share it with others while there is still time.

ONE ACCORD! – Acts 2:1 Devotional

by | Jul 14, 2022 | Acts

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

ONE ACCORD!

Acts 2:1 – Devotional

Acts 2:1

“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”

I recall my days spent in Officers Training School with the United States Air Force. We spent hours marching from one place to another on the base and very quickly learned that we had to be in step with one another or the wrath of the Training Instructor would be felt.

That did not mean that we were all some sort of robots, however. There were actually vast differences in personalities and perspectives among the ranks, but we all marched in step with one another.

Sadly, there have been many conflicts in churches over minor issues that are more personal preferences than staying true to the Word of God. I am sad to say that many of the most vocal people are the ones that spend very little time in the study of the Bible.

I want to call all of us to get back into the study of God’s Word as the highest priority. Seek to draw close to other true believers and share what nuggets of truth you discover in your time in the Word. Learn what it means to be of One Accord!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

GOD’S BREAKDOWNS! – Romans 8:28 Devotional

by | Jul 13, 2022 | Romans

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S BREAKDOWNS!

Romans 8:28 – Devotional

Romans 8:28

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

A retired pastor and his wife were traveling on a remote highway in Nevada. Without warning their car sputtered and they came to a stop on a gravel pullout. Immediately the pastor took his wife’s hand and prayed that they would be alert to how God might want to use this incident for His purposes. Just as he ended his prayer there was the sound of crunching gravel. A car had stopped behind them. Here again it could easily have been a prolonged wait for assistance.

The “good Samaritan” took them into the only town for many miles. He introduced them to the owner of the only garage/service station in town. The man said he would tow the car in and see if he could locate the problem.

The garage owner’s wife entertained the pastor’s wife while the repair work was being done and, in the process, gave her heart to the Lord. The pastor led the owner to the Lord and learned that the couple was having such marital conflicts that they were ready to seek a divorce. They tearfully renewed their vows and promised to bring the Lord into their marriage.

One broken car! One fractured marriage! Two sinners who needed a Savior! In one day God used the broken car and a yielded couple to minister in a mighty way for God’s kingdom here on earth. Wow! How can God use you? Are you making yourself available at all times and looking for His breakdowns to lead you to minister to others?

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

TRUST IN THE LORD! – Hebrews 11:1 Devotional

by | Jul 12, 2022 | Hebrews

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TRUST IN THE LORD!

Hebrews 11:1 – Devotional

Hebrews 11:1

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Faith! What is it? How can you put into words a concept like faith? The entire eleventh chapter of Hebrews is often described as the faith chapter in the Bible. When you read the passage given above, it almost defies logic. It is as though it doubles back on itself and leaves us grasping for true understanding.

As I study and meditate about the meaning of faith, it strikes me that the way to understand it is by way of word pictures. We have to visualize what we have faith in as already coming into being.

Suddenly it becomes a lot of fun to think in a graphic manner. Imagine that it is 100 degrees outside and we are going to our favorite ice cream shop to get a double-dip ice cream cone. When do we begin to enjoy it? On the way there we experience the joy of anticipation. THAT IS FAITH!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
