OUR SOURCE OF WISDOM! – James 1:5 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR SOURCE OF WISDOM​​​​​!

James 1:5 – Devotional

James 1:5

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Wisdom is different than knowledge. I can recall as a teenager watch as college students taunted a brilliant student who possessed superior knowledge, but lacked the common sense to apply it to everyday life.

All of us may be aware or remember individuals who possessed superior mental ability, yet lacked the practical ability to use that great potential in ways that could be useful. They knew, but they could not apply!

God has graciously promised us His wisdom for our life. Our Scripture for today fills us with confidence that when we come to the Lord and seek His wisdom for our life, He will not fail us. The problem is that we fail to open the source of His wisdom – – THE BIBLE.

When we seek to know and understand God’s will for our life, we must spend time in the Bible. A walk in the park or a hike in the hills may invigorate us, but it will not provide us with His wisdom. God breathed on the writers of Scripture to give us what we need to know in order to live victoriously for Him. Receive it!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!

DO NOT GO THERE! – Isaiah 41:10 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

DO NOT GO THERE​​​​​!

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

As a young boy I was challenged to memorize this verse in Isaiah 41:10. I will never apologize for using it too often. It is a truth that should be a part of the life of every true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior.

The first truth we are given is to be brave in the Lord. It is not that we are so strong and powerful that our enemies will flee from us, but it is that we serve a God who created all things and possesses the power over all things.

Does that mean that we will be exempted from all of the evil that surrounds us? Absolutely not! We are told that the rain falls on the just as well as on the unjust. That means we will all pass through the valley of the shadow of death as David explains in Psalm 23.

The confidence that the Lord wants each believer to rest upon is that we are never alone in the tribulations of this life. He is always is with us to lead, guide and direct us to be used as He sees fit. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Stay away from the dismal abode of fear. Do not go there!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!

HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION! – 1 Corinthians 3:10-11 Devotional

HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION!

1 Corinthians 3:10-11 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 3:10-11

“According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

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

During my high school days, I worked weekends and summers for a concrete contractor. Believe me when I tell you that things were different and difficult back then. There was very little pre-mixed concrete that was delivered by large rotating carriers. We were the mixers! We had a pile of sand, another of gravel and sacks of concrete that we had to combine shovel by shovel and bag by bag, water was then added.

In order to get the sloppy concrete into the foundation, we had to deliver it by manual labor. We had large wheelbarrows that we filled then pushed to the point of delivery. In the building process a solid foundation was essential. A weakened foundation could lead to the building falling.

As we travel through this life we often see people that have not laid a foundation that will withstand the storms of life. Sadly when storms strike, their foundations fail. It is during the storms that we need the solid foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ to keep us safe. John Rippon published this hymn in 1787.

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

HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION

1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

2. Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.

3. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

4. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!
