INCORRUPTIBLE BEAUTY!​ – 1 Peter 3:4 Devotional

INCORRUPTIBLE BEAUTY!

1 Peter 3:4 – Devotional

1 Peter 3:4

“Let your beauty be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.“

A dear friend once forwarded a prayer request sent to him from a deeply distressed daughter for her mother who was facing serious medical issues. In the message she mentioned that her father was giving loving care to his precious wife of many years. This daughter said that her dad still thought his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world, regardless of her age and physical condition.

As I read those words I thought back to the last days of my wife, Joyce. Her frail little body required much attention. She could hardly move and her mind had difficulty staying focused. In spite of all that, to me she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Why was that? It was the inner beauty that Jesus had given her. Joyce never was one that enjoyed the spotlight. She was shy by nature, but her gentle and quiet spirit cared about people and she ministered in her own quiet way.

Many flashy female movie stars make themselves up to look glamorous, but in a short time that outer façade wears off and they lose their appeal. Godly women get more beautiful each year. Ladies, be such a beauty. (MEN AS WELL!)

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

OUR TRUE CITIZENSHIP!​ – Philippians 3:20 Devotional

by | Sep 19, 2023 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR TRUE CITIZENSHIP!

Philippians 3:20 – Devotional

Philippians 3:20

“Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we eagerly await our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.“

I reside in Tumwater, Washington, however my zip code is the same as Olympia, Washington. There are instances where a person’s place of residence is in an area that shows a different location than where they actually reside.

There are certain localities in the world where a person’s residence is nearer a town or city in another nation. One road, river, or railroad can make a distinction as to how an address is determined.

When I was stationed in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, Canada, I had a mail box with a Canadian address. Mail sent to that address came to me, but I was not a Canadian citizen. I was only a temporary resident.

As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we are citizens of heaven. We may have a temporary address here in this world, but our forever home is celestial and eternal. I frequently find myself homesick for a place I have never been, but I will reside there forever and ever. That is my real citizenship!

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

SHARE GOD’S HARVEST!​ – Leviticus 19:10 Devotional

by | Sep 18, 2023 | Leviticus

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

SHARE GOD’S HARVEST!

Leviticus 19:10 – Devotional

Leviticus 19:10

“You shall not gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger.“

As a young teen our family lived in Nampa, Idaho. Someone told us that after farmers harvested onions for seed they often dug up the bulbs and dumped them out in the sagebrush. Many evenings found our family sniffing out the air and “gleaning” huge piles of onions. We not only used them ourselves, but we freely shared them with our friends.

It is easy to take in more and more spiritual truth, but leave nothing behind for others to glean. We may possess pages—even entire notebooks—filled with things that have inspired us, but sadly we have never shared them with others.

In today’s Scripture, we are instructed to be generous and caring for those who desperately need food in order to survive. Years later we find this acted out in the life of Ruth when she gleans the fields of Boaz.

Sometimes as we study the Bible we may find the spiritual food that has been left behind for us. After we have “gleaned” the truth of God’s word, we need to leave some along the edges and in the corners of our life for others who need to be fed. What are you leaving for the spiritually famished around you?

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