A FAITHFUL PROMISE​!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

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

Have you ever wondered who you can rely upon to do what they have promised to do? Let me ask another, more-penetrating question. Have you ever made a commitment to pray for someone and after days, weeks, or even months, later realize that you have failed to follow through? You have betrayed your trust, my friend!

It is a serious thing to fail to fulfill your promise to those around you, but what about the promises you have made to the Lord but that you have failed to keep? I must confess that there have been times I have had to hang my head in shame for not doing as I promised. I have had to ask the Lord to forgive my failure.

It is easy to see the faults of others while at the same time ignoring my own shortcomings. It is very evident that more easily we find fault in others the easier it is to ignore our own failures. May God forgive us!

There have been many times that people have disappointed me by saying one thing and then doing another. It hurt and made me feel betrayed. I want to make a new commitment not be guilty of the same failure. I commit to take my prayer burdens to the foot of the cross and entrust them to the Lord.

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

FAITH’S GATE! – Hebrews 11:1 Devotional

by | Mar 5, 2024 | Hebrews

FAITH’S GATE​!

Hebrews 11:1 – Devotional

Hebrews 11:1

“Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.“

We once lived in a gated community that required using a remote control device to open the gate. It was designed to prevent unauthorized persons from entering. We could open the gate only by using the right code for the gate.

Faith is the gate that leads us from our poverty and need to the certainty of God’s unlimited power. Reading Hebrews 11 is like walking through God’s hall of fame. We observe the faithful men and women who trusted Him with their all. These heroes of the faith saw something that was more important than life itself.

Down through the ages of history—even to our present day—there are men and women who have placed their reliance on things which are seen only through faith in God. In many cases believers have endured pain, torture, even death, knowing that eternal bliss waited just beyond their final breath.

Songwriter Oscar Eliason wrote, “God specializes in things thought impossible, and He can do what no other power can do.” No matter how difficult the circumstances, we can trust God to open the gate in His time and for His purposes. When He does, we can go forward by faith.

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

OUR NEAREST FRIEND! – Proverbs 18:24 Devotional

by | Mar 4, 2024 | Proverbs

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR NEAREST FRIEND​!

Proverbs 18:24 – Devotional

Proverbs 18:24

“To have a friend a person must them self be friendly, thankfully there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.“

Being alone is a sad and dismal situation. We really do need each other and a friend is one of the greatest possessions we can have. It is a sad and poor person who has no friends. Friends are different from companions. Companions are simply close by, but are not emotionally close so we can share our deepest feelings.

When I resigned as pastor in Burns, Oregon, a close friend, Chris Vosler, gave me a plaque and a card. The plaque reads: A friend is one who knows you as you are, understands where you’ve been, accepts who you’ve become, and still gently invites you to grow. The card reads: Cecil, Thanks for being that friend. Chris.

As close as our dearest friends may be, we have a friend who is still closer. I am speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who is with us at all times. When we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He is there beside us. When we receive devastating news, He is there to provide the comfort and solace to ease the pain. When we receive news that calls for rejoicing, He makes it even better for He rejoices with us. At all times and in every circumstance, our dearest Friend makes our life worth living.

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