LED BY GOD! – Psalm 25:5 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LED BY GOD!

Psalm 25:5 – Devotional

Psalm 25:5

“Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.

As a boy we used to joke about impatience. I recall a classmate saying, “I don’t have any trouble with being patient. It is the waiting that I have trouble with!”

That is a problem isn’t it? Waiting is difficult so and so we feel we must be doing something wrong. We sadly all too often barge ahead of God and take action. The problem is that it is OUR action rather than HIS action. It’s almost like we feel we need to give God a little assistance.

The Psalmist sets us straight in the matter of patience. In today’s Scripture we are told to “WAIT ON THE LORD.” That does not mean to work like crazy doing good things in order to impress the Lord. It means relaxing and trusting that He will open the door He wants us to walk through when the time is right—not before!

If you are feeling weighed down and impatient waiting for the Lord to act upon your prayer request—STOP! Do not let yourself be burdened by seeing others prosper while you suffer. Rest in the Lord! He will call you when He is ready. That takes patience!

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

WE ARE GOD’S WINNERS! – 1 Corinthians 9:24 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WE ARE GOD’S WINNERS​!​​

1 Corinthians 9:24 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 9:24

“All who run a race all run; but only one receives the winner’s prize. Let us run in such a way that we will obtain God’s prize He promises for all who run.

There are many types of races: Car races, horse races, foot races, just to name a few. It is interesting that in many races one competitor may lead throughout the race and victory is almost assured … but then comes the finish line and another takes first place!

Years ago I used to take our kids to watch automobile races at a local race track. It was not uncommon for one driver to lead almost every lap of the quarter mile track only to experience a problem on the final lap and lose the race. Only the one who crosses the finish line first is the winner not the one who leads the most laps.

I have been thrilled to watch foot races where the competitors have Down Syndrome. These precious jewels run with joy and excitement. Many times they are just as excited about someone else winning as themselves. When they cross the finish line each one is awarded a prize.

I somehow think that is what Paul wants us to understand. Every person in the world is entered in eternity’s race, but only those who have Christ in their heart will receive the prize. At the end of our race, the Lord will meet us and reward us for running for Him. We are God’s Winners!

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

MOONLIGHT SONATA & WERE YOU THERE? – Matthew 27:54​ Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

MOONLIGHT SONATA & WERE YOU THERE?

Matthew 27:54​ – Devotional

Matthew 27:54

“Surely he was the Son of God!”

Matthew 27:35-54 reads . . .

When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is Jesus, the king of the Jews.

Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!” In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
