AUTHENTIC LOVE!​​

1 Corinthians 13:13 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 13:13

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

There is a page in my wife’s diary that she had written way back in January 2012. That was three years before she went to be with the Lord. Joyce was always better at expressing her feelings in her notes and letters than in speaking. She wrote the following note dated January 28, 2012. I want to share it with you.

“My precious husband, how I love you! You captured my heart when I was just a teenager, and it has lasted for over 60 years. How good God has been to us, to be with the dearest love of your life that long. Please know how deeply you are loved — – now and forever.”

As I read these poignant words I realize that words never end when a person dies. I only wish that more couples could experience the deep love that Joyce and I shared.

If you have not done so before now, I urge you to take the time to write your own love letter to that special person in your life. You may be gone when they read it, but like me, it will be like a gentle kiss from one who is waiting in that land where we will never be parted again.

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

A REASON TO REJOICE!​​ – Matthew 5:12 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A REASON TO REJOICE!​​

Matthew 5:12 – Devotional

Matthew 5:12

“Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven!”

When I attended high school we were not large enough to field an eleven-man football team, we competed in an eight-man football league. The rules were the same, but with fewer players.

In my senior year we had won all of our games. The final game of the season was played under the lights at the home field of our toughest competitor. They played hard, but our team won the game and the championship. As the final gun sounded, wild cheering surrounded and rose up all around us. We were rejoicing because we had been declared the winner.

In His “Sermon on the Mount,” Jesus presented an unusual reason for rejoicing. I did not include the verse that precedes today’s topic Scripture because I wanted to stress the difference Jesus gave. Here is what He said in verse 11: “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.”

Wow! What a difference. Jesus calls us to rejoice even when we experience severe opposition. Usually we whimper and whine? Jesus calls His believers to be different by exhibiting radiant joy even when things are tough. Do we?

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

RIGHT ON TIME!​​ – Ecclesiastes 3:1 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

RIGHT ON TIME!​​

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Ecclesiastes 3:1

“Everything has its own season, and an appropriate time for every purpose under heaven.”

Schedules are extremely important. The world of public transportation relies on accurate schedules. I have mentioned many times in the past that I have an application on my computer that alerts me to the passes of the International Space Station (ISS), as it silently glides across the heavens over 200 miles above.

Over the years I have viewed the (ISS) as it passes overhead hundreds of times. Some of these passes occur during the dark hours so it is possible to see the Space Station as a very bright star. In some instances the Station passes into the earth’s shadow and seems to disappear.

Day after day, I know that the (ISS) makes its way around the earth. It may be cloudy or the sun may prevent our viewing it as it passes over head, but I always know that it is right on time.

It may often seem that the Lord is late in answering our prayers. We focus on our own desires rather than waiting on the Lord to bring about His will. At all times we need to remind ourselves that the Lord is always RIGHT ON TIME!

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

JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!​​ – Isaiah 41:10 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!​​

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear thou not for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yea I will help you, yea I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

One summer when I was a young boy, we were challenged to memorize key verses in Scripture. One of those verses was Isaiah 41:10. I cannot begin to tell you how many times across the years this verse has been with me.

In today’s world of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, there is a voice that gives instructions of where to turn and how far to go before giving the next instruction of where to turn and how far to go. I have known drivers that turn their GPS off just to silence that voice.

I come from a day and age where we learned to read maps. When I worked as a milk man it was necessary to use a code to tell how many intersections to cross, when to turn left or right and which house was to receive the home delivery (I am a very old man!).

God gives us assurance that His voice will always strengthen, help, and uphold us as we obediently follow His word and His way. Do not silence His voice . . . JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!

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