NEARER, STILL NEARER! – Hebrews 10:22 Devotional

by | Sep 8, 2023 | Hebrews

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

NEARER, STILL NEARER!

Hebrews 10:22 – Devotional

Hebrews 10:22

“Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.”

Both the text and tune of Nearer, Still Nearer were written and composed by Lelia Naylor Morris (1862-1929).

Nearer, Still Nearer has a biblical progression to it. It begins with a prayer for God to bring us closer and closer to Him.

The second verse addresses the fact that there is no way we can be near the Lord unless the blood of Jesus cleanses us.

The third stanza moves us toward craving Jesus more than sin – whatever barrier we need to remove so we can be near Jesus we will remove.

Finally in the last paragraph of lyrics, the ultimate goal has been reached and we are finally in eternal glory in unbroken and unbreakable fellowship with our God and Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Here are the lyrics:

NEARER, STILL NEARER!

Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest.

Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Nought as an offering to Jesus my King-
Only my sinful now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.

Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine;
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last;
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages, ever to be,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

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

TOO LAID BACK!​ – Psalm 123:4 Devotional

by | Sep 7, 2023 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TOO LAID BACK!

Psalm 123:4 – Devotional

Psalm 123:4

“Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorn of those who are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.“

I have always found it easy for me to identify shapes of certain objects from far distances. I can identify particular model of planes by their silhouettes. I often can identify birds by their shapes, calls, and their movements.

I once was driving along a country road and saw a shape in the distance that I could not readily identify. It was smaller than a person walking and seemed to be moving like a bicycle, but the shape was quite low to the ground. As I drew closer I saw that it was a rider on a recumbent bike.

For those of you who have never seen a recumbent bicycle, it has many of the characteristics of a regular bicycle, but the cyclist reclines rather than sits in a more upright fashion.

There may be satisfaction in cycling in a reclining position, but if I were given the choice, I would choose the traditional mode of travel. In like manner I reject the modern laid back idea of doing one’s own thing, and will choose to go God’s way!

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

AVAILABLE TO GOD!​ – Isaiah 40:31 Devotional

by | Sep 6, 2023 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

AVAILABLE TO GOD!

Isaiah 40:31 – Devotional

Isaiah 40:31

“Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall soar on wings as eagles, shall run and not grow weary, shall walk and not faint.“

The longer I live the more I realize I know so very little. But then it’s really not essential that I know everything. I feel like the old pastor who slowly walked to the pulpit. The congregation eagerly awaited the message that this precious saint of God would deliver. You may recall the words that he simply said: “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”

I’m so appreciative of having a Kindle reader so I can read book after book without carrying an entire armload. I recall reading a book by Jerry Bridges titled, “Trusting God: Even When Life Hurts.” Even the title moves me.

His words gave me a new appreciation of the sovereignty of God. God is not incumbent to make me comfortable or painless. In fact, it is not about me at all. If it is pain, so be it! If it is suffering, so be it! If it is complete healing, so be it!

During a hospital stay, God was able to use me to bring a little bit of healing to the nurses and staff who treated me. That was my ministry for this particular situation and I thank God for it. I rejoice being home, but I want to be available for God to be sovereign in my life wherever that may be.

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