REVIVE US AGAIN! – 2 Chronicles 7:14 Devotional

by | May 5, 2023 | 2 Chronicles

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

REVIVE US AGAIN​​!

2 Chronicles 7:14​ – Devotional

2 Chronicles 7:14

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Back in the 70’s, I was an associate pastor of a large church. One Sunday, just before the service an elderly lady collapsed in the aisle near the rear of the church. I was just entering and observed one of our members, a medical doctor, doing chest compressions on the little lady.

When he saw me, he immediately called me over and told me to take over while he checked her for vital signs. It was the first and only time I have ever felt my hands repeatedly crush down on a person’s chest to keep the heart pumping blood throughout the body. It is an awesome and fearful experience. (By-the-way, the lady survived this traumatic ordeal after a few days in the hospital.)

There are people around us who seem to be in spiritual cardiac arrest. We see them stagger and collapse. The question is how we are going to respond. Do we wring our hands and cluck our tongue, or do we dive in to give spiritual restoration? Today’s Scripture provides the steps to revival. Back in 1863, William P. Mackey wrote the words to this week’s hymn.

. . . . . . . .

Revive Us Again

We praise Thee, O God! For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus Who died, And is now gone above.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

We praise Thee, O God! For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior, And scattered our night.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

All glory and praise! To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins, And hath cleansed every stain.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

All glory and praise! To the God of all grace,
Who hast brought us, and sought us, And guided our ways.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

Revive us again; Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled, With fire from above.

Refrain: Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Revive us again.

OUR SOURCE OF JOY!​ – James 1:2-3 Devotional

by | May 4, 2023 | James

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR SOURCE OF JOY!

James 1:2-3 – Devotional

James 1:2-3

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.“

I have heard people ask another person why they are so happy. Actually true happiness is only the result of something good or pleasing happening. Joy on the other hand is the choice a person makes in spite of what happens.

Unfortunately I have counseled many people across the years who behaved as if they had been “baptized in vinegar.” Some of these people have been Christians. I know that their demeanor has been a terrible witness to non-believers.

I have said it before and I will say it again; “The way we live is far more vital than what we say.” I do not want to imply that we are not to share our faith with others, but it needs to be reflected in how we live.

I would like each of us to prayerfully answer the following questions: If Jesus was standing beside us, would He be pleased with the things we say? The music we listen to? The programs we watch on television? The things we read? The activities we engage in? The people we associate with? This could go on and on couldn’t it? I pray that we will find our true joy in Him!

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

FEAR-SERVE-RECALL!​ – 1 Samuel 12:24 Devotional

by | May 3, 2023 | 1 Samuel

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

FEAR-SERVE-RECALL!

1 Samuel 12:24 – Devotional

1 Samuel 12:24

“Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.“

Across the years I have counseled many individuals who had yielded to sin and as a result were now suffering the consequences. All too often they were not so eager to turn from their sin, but to find relief from the consequence of the sin. Does that sound familiar to you?

Samuel was frustrated that the Israelites had sinned by demanding a king in order to be like the other nations around them. Sadly they were blinded to the reality that these sinful nations were suffering from the consequences of their sin.

Samuel gave his people instructions that still apply today. First and foremost we are to fear the Lord. This is to be a reverential fear that seeks to please God in all that we do and say. Then we are to serve Him with all of our heart and strength.

The last admonition is to recall. This is a pleasant reflection on all of the blessings that the Lord has showered on us across the years of our life. When we recall His blessings we will find ourselves discovering the pure joy of our salvation!

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

THIS IS NOT THE END!​ – Deuteronomy 30:19 Devotional

by | May 2, 2023 | Deuteronomy

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THIS IS NOT THE END​​​!

Deuteronomy 30:19 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 30:19

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.“

It seems as if this recurring theme arises on a regular basis. At least it does in my time of study in the Word of the Lord. When I search for the answer to why it arises time after time, I come to the conclusion that it is because people so often choose to reject God’s offer of eternal life.

Every day our newspapers or other forms of media announce the death of rich and famous people as well as those who have virtually no family or friends. It is important to remind ourselves that this life is not the end. It is the one and only time and place to determine where we will spend eternity.

One millisecond after we draw our final breath, we will either breathe pure celestial air of our eternal abode, or the acrid stench of eternal suffering and torment. Here and now is our only time and place to determine which place will be our eternal destiny. CHOOSE LIFE!

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