GOD’S PLANS FOR US!

2 John 1:6 – Devotional

2 John 1:6

“And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.”

I can still recall the delight we had in watching our children take their first steps. There had been a period of days or even weeks when they stood beside a chair or when Joyce or I would hold onto them.

Then came that first faltering, even terrifying, first step into the unknown. They seemed to know that they were designed to be able to walk. As I write these words I am aware that there are those who through accident or lack of physical development have not been able to walk in the same way as others.

It is incredible that God has endowed those who trust in Him to develop other skills that at times make them more effective witnesses for Him than if they had the full use of their extremities.

God wants each of us to serve Him in a way that is unique to the way we find ourselves to be. Rather than trying to be like others, we need to be what God plans for us to be. Take time to ask Him what His plans are for you!

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

OPEN OUR EYES LORD! – 2 Kings 6:17 Devotional

by | Feb 17, 2025 | 2 Kings

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OPEN OUR EYES LORD!

2 Kings 6:17 – Devotional

2 Kings 6:17

“And Elisha prayed, and said, ‘Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.’ Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”

I have worn glasses for as long as I can recall. As a matter of fact I have separate glasses just for using the computer. If I forget and wear the wrong glasses my vision is blurry and it takes a few minutes to correct my mistake.

Spiritually it is critical that we have the eyes to perceive the Word of God in a manner that will keep us focused on the goal of being faithful servants of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There are many things that will keep our vision blocked. One of the hindrances is fear of the unknown. We do not know what the future holds so we fret and stew about what might happen instead of simply trusting in the Lord to direct us.

Elisha was able to see what his servant could not see. We need to trust the Lord whether or not we are able to see the host of heaven around us. All we need to do is ask the Lord to show us what He wants us to see!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing!

JESUS LOVES ME! – Luke 18:15-17 Devotional

by | Feb 14, 2025 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

JESUS LOVES ME!

Luke 18:15-17​ – Devotional

Luke 18:15-17

“People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’”

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

In 1860, Susan Warner wrote a novel titled, “Say and Seal.” She alluded to the fact that Jesus loves little children. After the novel had been published and circulated, she was informed by a Sunday School teacher that a young boy was lying in the hospital near death.

Susan called her sister, Anna, and asked if she could write a hymn for the teacher to sing to the dying lad. Anna wrote the first verse and two years later, William Bradbury wrote the second and third stanzas.

The simple words of this song speak volumes. I heard the story of an old retired minister who had returned to speak at the church he had pastored for many years. He had not been seen by the congregation for a very long time and they were very anxious to hear what his words of wisdom would be. Slowly he made his way to the microphone and spoke in a soft voice: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so!” His words were more powerful than the best prepared sermon.

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

JESUS LOVES ME

1. Jesus loves me! This I know, For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

2. Jesus loves me He who died, Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

3. Jesus, take this heart of mine, Make it pure and wholly Thine;
On the cross You died for me, I will try to live for Thee.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
