PREREQUISITES! – Proverbs 3:5-6 Devotional

PREREQUISITES​!

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Devotional

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.“

In college there are prerequisite courses required before you are able to enroll in a particular course. In much the same way, God places certain prerequisites in our life’s journey serving Him.

In today’s passage we are told not to lean on our own understanding. We All too often discover that people far too often place too much emphasis on what they know. It is called pride! God hates pride and we need to deal with it.

God gives us two do’s: First, we are to trust in the Lord with all of our heart. That means everything. Second, we are to acknowledge Him in all of our ways. Stop taking the credit that rightfully belongs to the Lord.

The precious promise that God gives us in this passage is that He will direct our paths. That, to me, is better than any Global Positioning System (GPS) that man has ever developed.

Where do you find yourself in the process of meeting God’s conditional promises? I trust that you will learn along with me that God is better able to lead, guide, and direct than we will ever be.

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

BENEATH THE CROSS OF JESUS! – 1 Corinthians 1:18 Devotional

by | Mar 8, 2024 | 1 Corinthians

Listen to Today's Evotional

BENEATH THE CROSS OF JESUS​​!

1 Corinthians 1:18 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 1:18

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.“

The second verse of the hymn, Beneath the Cross of Jesus says, “Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see the very dying form of One who suffered there for me; and from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess: the wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.”

Here are all the lyrics for verses 1 and 3:

Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty Rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burden of the day.

I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place:
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss;
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A CLEAN HEART! – Psalm 51:10 Devotional

by | Mar 7, 2024 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A CLEAN HEART​!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.“

Many years ago I attended an Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts, held in Seattle. At the last session each attendee was given a small button with the letters; PBPGINFWMY. It stood for; PLEASE BE PATIENT, GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET! I liked it then and I like it now.

Sometimes spiritual leaders give the impression that they are so holy, that they dine with the angels. The truth of the matter is that we simply like angel food cake, we don’t dine with them. None of us are perfect and I think spiritual leaders need to be more open in sharing our failures. We need times of humiliation to be mind joggers that we are still under construction. I think it is safe to say that we will always be under construction.

I heard an evangelist years ago, tell of a woman who approached him after a service and mentioned that she thought he was very mature. He rushed home and looked up the word mature, so he would be better able to enjoy its depth of meaning. To his dismay, the definition said; “ripe and getting rotten.” Ooops!

Never stop the construction process. In doing God’s work there is no such thing as retirement. Keep a clean heart and keep doing the work of the Lord. God is still at work and will continue as long as we maintain a clean and steadfast spirit!

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