NOT SHAKEN! – Luke 6:48 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

NOT SHAKEN!

Luke 6:48 – Devotional

Luke 6:48

“He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.”

 

In the past year we have heard of severe floods around the globe. One report said that flooding in Australia covered an area the size of Texas. Now that’s a big piece of real estate, Pardner!

Here in the United Stated we have seen pictures of streams tearing out river banks and houses being swept away by the current. It certainly makes me think of this parable of Jesus.

I can recall watching the construction of a new building at our radar site in St. Anthony, Newfoundland. The workmen dug down to expose bear rock. Then they drilled deep holes in the rock. Into each hole they screwed long rods to grasp the rock. The building would then be anchored to the rods. When we experienced gales of over 100 miles per hour, I was very glad we were attached to solid rock.

Jesus wanted His listeners to hear and understand what He was saying. This life is no place for a namby-pamby or wishy-washy faith. It is only the solid rock of God’s Word and His completed work on the cross that will hold us firm in this life and assure us of a home in heaven for all eternity. There is coming a time when everyone will believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and every knee shall bow. The tragedy is that for some it will be everlastingly too late!

SERVE THE LORD WITH JOY! – Psalm 100:2 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

SERVE THE LORD WITH JOY!

Psalm 100:2 – Devotional

Psalm 100:2

“Serve the LORD with gladness come into His presence with singing.”

The Thirty Years’ War raged from 1618 to 1648, and was one of the most destructive conflicts in European history. The war was fought primarily in Germany and at various points involved most of the countries of Europe.

Dur­ing this terrible conflict Martin Rinkart, served as a Lu­ther­an min­is­ter. The walled ci­ty saw a stea­dy stream of re­fu­gees pour through its gates. The Swed­ish army sur­round­ed the ci­ty, and fa­mine and plague were ramp­ant. Eight hund­red homes were de­stroyed, and the peo­ple be­gan to per­ish.

There was a tre­men­dous strain on the pas­tors who had to con­duct do­zens of fun­er­als dai­ly. Fi­nal­ly, Martin Rink­art was the on­ly pas­tor left—doing as many as 50 fun­er­als a day.

When the Swedes de­mand­ed a huge ran­som, Rink­art left the safe­ty of the walls to plead for mer­cy. The Swed­ish com­mand­er, im­pressed by his faith and cour­age, low­ered his de­mands. Soon af­ter­ward, the Thir­ty Years’ War end­ed, and Rinkart wrote a hymn of abid­ing trust and gra­ti­tude to­ward God. It is a test­a­ment to the reality that, even through the battles of life, we can serve the Lord with joy!

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

WALK IN THE LIGHT! – 1 John 1:6 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WALK IN THE LIGHT!

1 John 1:6 – Devotional

1 John 1:6

“If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.”

I have a great fear that we have given people the wrong message concerning salvation. We have propounded the idea that you are able to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and go on living a godless lifestyle. That is totally wrong. I find none of that thinking in Scripture. In fact it is just the opposite. Today’s passage is just one of many that indicate our walk must match our talk.

Jesus consistently told those who had been set free from sin and disease to turn away from it and begin to walk a different walk. Now if Jesus said that to people in His day, it still applies today. It seems that somewhere along the line, we have adopted the notion that we can live like the devil and still be a child of the King. BEEP! WRONG!

Can you recall when you prayed to ask the Lord to forgive your sins and come into your life? It is essential that we have walked in the light of God’s Word and have personally invited Jesus to come into our heart. The exact words are not essential, but the sincerity of the invitation is critical! As we walk in the light of God’s Word our fellowship with true believers will grow sweeter as the days go by!

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