WAIT IN SILENCE!​ – Psalm 62:5 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WAIT IN SILENCE!

Psalm 62:5 – Devotional

Psalm 62:5

“My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.”

In a world filled with noise and turmoil, it is sometimes difficult to find a place where we can shut out the noise and confusion in order to hear the Spirit of God speaking to us.

I have found across the years that it is hard to shut out the noise and confusion of the world in order to be able to hear the voice of the Lord. For me, it is the Word of God (the Bible) that is the voice of God. It is always on target and on time!

I find that special place at least two times each day. The first is very early in the morning (3:00 or 4:00 a.m.). The second is the last minutes of the day as I lay in bed reading from the Book of Psalms. What a way to begin and end each day!

If you want to find a special blessing in your life, I encourage you to make an effort to begin and end each day by waiting in silence with the Word of God open before you. It will bless you richly!

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

SAVED!​ – John 3:17 Devotional

by | Jul 5, 2023 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

SAVED!

John 3:17 – Devotional

John 3:17

“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

I have enjoyed the rare privilege of working in a wide range of positions in the criminal justice field. I have walked the streets as a “street cop,” and I have driven a patrol car. I served as a County Juvenile Probation Officer and was a Probation and Parole Specialist with the Idaho State Law Enforcement Planning Commission.

As you can see, my life experience goes beyond the pulpit. In contemplating John 3:17, we see that Satan delights in clouding our minds to think of God as an evil Master who delights in making people miserable. God does not condemn the world instead it was a free choice that Satan enticed Adam and Eve to make.

I like to think of God as the Supreme Divine Parole Officer. He freely offers guilty men and women freedom from the penalty of sin. The choice to accept His gift is left up to each of us who are the condemned offenders.

The arms of the Lord are open wide to receive any and all who come to Him by grace through faith. There is nothing we can ever do to earn or deserve His gift of eternal life. We either accept or decline. Oh, I hope each of you will accept!

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

READY TO REJOICE!​ – Psalm 118:24 Devotional

by | Jul 4, 2023 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

READY TO REJOICE!

Psalm 118:24 – Devotional

Psalm 118:24

“This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

For many people this is a day of celebration and relaxation. On the other hand, there are those who experience pain and suffering that seems to never end. Only you know where you find yourself between the two.

In reading Psalm 118:24, it is evident that each of us determines how we will react to the circumstances of life. Some of the most upbeat people I have ever known endure pain and suffering that causes me to ache for them. I can’t!

While I may not be able to remove the pain from another person’s life, I can make every effort to be all God allows me to be in making the way easier for them. I can do that by rejoicing with them during their good times.

To be a blessing and not a blight, it is important to walk near enough to others to be a blessing and not so close that we become a blight. Our good intentions may often cause discomfort rather than comfort. Remember it is how others view our actions that lead to rejoicing or remorse. Get ready to rejoice!

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

ALWAYS READY!​ – 2 Timothy 4:2 Devotional

by | Jul 3, 2023 | 2 Timothy

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

ALWAYS READY!

2 Timothy 4:2 – Devotional

2 Timothy 4:2

“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.“

Long holiday weekends or vacation times are often referred to as “down times.” For the child of God, however, that is never the case. Paul counsels his son in the faith, Timothy, to be ready at all times.

Ready for what we may ask? To CONVINCE – REBUKE – EXHORT. In order to be ready we must be prepared. That means we need to be diligent in reading the Word of God and living it out in our life.

The deeper we go in the understanding of God’s plan and purpose for Adam’s fallen race, the more we will see that His love reaches down to the lowest. It is our privilege to be used by God.

Are you ready? Can you be relied upon to do God’s work, God’s way in God’s perfect timing? Let me leave you with another word of encouragement Paul gives in 2 Timothy 2:15: “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

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