BE GLAD IN THE LORD! – Psalm 64:10 Devotional

BE GLAD IN THE LORD​​​​​​!

Psalm 64:10 – Devotional

Psalm 64:10

“The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.”

When I was a boy (a very long time ago) we attended a church that had many colorful members. Some were happy and others usually looked like they had been baptized in vinegar!

I must confess that I tried to stay as far away from the vinegar people as possible. Come to think about it, I seldom saw anyone spend time with them. It was usually just them standing alone and looking mad at the world.

I think it was at that time that I determined I would try to emulate the joyous and happy Christians. As much as I could I would look like I was on my way to my glorious home in heaven, rather than the other way around!

It is question and answer time! What image do we project to those around us? Do we live a radiance that comes from knowing our sins are forgiven and we are on our way to heaven, or are we vinegar people and cause others to wonder where we are headed? BE GLAD IN THE LORD!

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

THE SHADOW OF HIS WINGS! – Isaiah 34:15 Devotional

by | Sep 3, 2024 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE SHADOW OF HIS WINGS​​​​​​!

Isaiah 34:15 – Devotional

Isaiah 34:15

“The owl will nest there and lay eggs, she will hatch them, and care for her young under the shadow of her wings; there also the falcons will gather, each with its mate.”

From time to time I have watched birds. Each type has its own way of caring for its young. Some types seem to pay little attention to the nest. Left on their own most varieties thrive, but with encroaching human habitat some become endangered.

I find it interesting and disturbing that many people show more concern about the welfare of the feathered community than the needy people. There is a world of hurting people near us who are like hatchlings and need the care of someone who will be there for them. It is easy to become indifferent to the needs around us.

I remember when I was a Juvenile Probation officer being called by the local police to pick up a 15 year old girl they had just arrested and take her home. My wife, Joyce and I picked her up and as we drove her home I mentioned that her dad would no doubt discipline her severely for her behavior. She stunned us with this statement: “My dad doesn’t love me enough to discipline me!” WOW!

Sometimes God brings His judgment upon those who violate His commands. Does that mean that He does not love us? Not on your life! As a matter of fact it is proof that He loves us enough to discipline us under the shadow of His wings!

GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL! – James 3:13 Devotional

by | Sep 2, 2024 | James

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL​​​​​​!

James 3:13 – Devotional

James 3:13

“Let the one who is wise and understanding among you demonstrate it by good conduct accomplished with meekness and wisdom.”

In the military there are medals awarded for a variety of reasons. If you were to observe the dress uniform of a seasoned veteran, you would see row after row of medals for various accomplishments. One of these medals is the Good Conduct Medal. It is awarded to all who stay out of trouble for an entire year. Yeah!

I know it is no big deal, but for many that first medal was one of the first positive affirmations they had ever received. Let’s face it; the world tends to be harsh and unfeeling leaving many feeling like outsiders.

The Lord has given those who have trusted Him for salvation the most glorious good conduct medal. It is not because of what we have done or will do for Him, but what He has provided for us. Salvation, full and free!

The eternal salvation which we have in Christ is offered freely to us, but it cost Jesus His sinless life. He who knew no sin took upon Himself our sin and paid the price that we may receive His GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL! Be sure to wear it with honor!

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