TRUST IN THE LORD! – Jeremiah 17:7-8 Devotional

TRUST IN THE LORD​​​​​​!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 – Devotional

Jeremiah 17:7-8

“Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD. He will be like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not worry in the year of drought, and shall not cease from yielding fruit.”

When I was a boy our family occasionally made a trip across country to visit relatives. Cars in that day did not have air conditioned luxury and the radiators at times became over-heated. We sometimes were forced to pull over and wait in the hot sun until the heat gauge indicated it was safe to continue.

I think I am safe in saying that we all experience times when the intense heat wave of adversity sweeps in with a vengeance. It may strike with such force that it almost takes our breath away. You may even be experiencing such a time of trial right at this very moment.

As a fellow believer who walks in the heat of this crazy world, I want to share that we can find life giving shade in the shadow of the Almighty! As we trust in the Lord with all of our hearts, He will cause the heat of adversity to produce a bountiful crop of righteousness. TRUST IN THE LORD!

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

HO, EVERYONE WHO IS THIRSTY! – Isaiah 51:1-2 Devotional

by | Sep 6, 2024 | Isaiah

Listen to Today's Evotional

HO, EVERYONE WHO IS THIRSTY!

Isaiah 51:1-2 – Devotional

Isaiah 51:1-2

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come buy and eat. Yes, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.“

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

Water, water, everywhere…and not a drop to drink! Those words have probably been uttered many times by victims stranded in the middle of the ocean. The salt-laden sea seems to mock them – they are surrounded by water, but it would be poison to their system to drink it.

Lucy Jane Rider Meyer wrote the words of today’s hymn. She was born on a Vermont farm in 1849. Lucy was a teacher and not only founded many high schools, but went on to teach chemistry at McKendree College, a school for freed blacks in North Carolina. She was one of the first female professors.

What a refreshing thought that a brilliant professor was able to use the Word of God to bring music to the thirsty human soul. Oh, that we had more brave educators who would be willing to put their reputations on the line for the things of God. I thirst for that!

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

HO, EVERYONE WHO IS THIRSTY

Ho! Everyone that is thirsty in spirit, Ho! Everyone that is weary and sad; Come to the fountain, there’s fullness in Jesus, All that you’re longing for; come and be glad!

Refrain: I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
Open your hearts for the gifts I am bringing;
While you are seeking Me, I will be found.

Child of the world, are you tired of your bondage? Weary of earth’s joys, so false, so untrue? Thirsting for God and His fullness of blessing? List’ to the promise, a message for you!

Refrain: I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
Open your hearts for the gifts I am bringing;
While you are seeking Me, I will be found.

Child of the kingdom, be filled with the Spirit! Nothing but “fullness” thy longing can meet; ‘Tis the enduement for life and for service; Thine is the promise, so certain, so sweet.

Refrain: I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
Open your hearts for the gifts I am bringing;
While you are seeking Me, I will be found.

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

GOD’S PROMISE OF PEACE! – John 14:21 Devotional

by | Sep 5, 2024 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S PROMISE OF PEACE​​​​​​!

John 14:21 – Devotional

John 14:21

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

We live in an increasingly frightening world! I am sure you do not need me to remind you of that fact. We increasingly are exposed to twisted human reasoning where right is considered bigotry and sinfulness is exalted as the new normal!

It is in the craziness of this present age that I am reminded of a passage of Scripture I memorized as a boy. It is 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.”

These two passages: John 14:21 and Isaiah 41:10, give us assurance that it is only the Lord who can give us absolute assurance of peace. It is a peace that the world it can never give and a peace it can never take away. It is God’s promise of peace!

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