GET SMART!​​

Proverbs 18:15 – Devotional

Proverbs 18:15

“The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise is always open to seek more knowledge.“

My Mom always said I was a handful when I was a boy. That is so hard to believe since I am such a meek and mild adult. Choke! Choke! Choke! Let me be quick to say that I was not evil, just full of life and always on the go. In frustration mom would often make me sit on a stool in the living room without making a sound.

I recall her saying that within a few minutes on that stool I was ready to explode. I was like the little boy who, enduring the same punishment, finally told his mother that may be sitting down on the outside, but he was standing up on the inside!

Years ago I memorized a passage of Scripture that has meant so much to me across the days of my life. It is Jeremiah 17:9: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” The answer is that it is God who knows our heart inside and outside.

When we have the spiritual ears to “hear” what God says in His Word and apply it to our life, only then are we ready to do His will, His way, and in His time. That is like opening the ears of our spiritual hearts and responding when He calls.

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

FAITH WALKING​​​​​​​!​​ – Isaiah 41:10 Devotional

by | Nov 19, 2025 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

FAITH WALKING​​​​​​​!​​

Isaiah 41:10 – Devotional

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear not, I am with you, and do not be depressed, I am your God.
I will give you strength, help you and hold up with My righteous right hand.“

I know I have used this verse before. Not only that, I will use it again and again! As a matter of fact, it was one of the first verses I ever memorized when I was a small boy in Camas, Washington.

I am always reminded of the story of an older gentleman who called his wife such endearing names that it was very noticeable — “Honey,” “Sweetie,” “Dearie,” “Love,” and such like. A friend remarked about it and complimented the older man on the sweet names he called his wife. The older gentleman replied, “I have to. I haven’t been able to remember her name for ten years.”

Jesus, in His earthly ministry, spoke often of the “Kingdom of Heaven.” In His parables He would typically begin: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like . . .” As we think of God’s wonderful Kingdom, there are two elements: The here and now, and the future glory awaiting us.

We have both a present reality and a brilliant future hope. Our challenge and purpose should always be to walk by faith in God and live according to His Word. That my precious friend is – – FAITH WALKING! Try it!

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

WILLING TO SERVE​​​​​​​!​​ – Isaiah 6:8 Devotional

by | Nov 18, 2025 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WILLING TO SERVE​​​​​​​!​​

Isaiah 6:8 – Devotional

Isaiah 6:8

“I heard the voice of the LORD saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’
Then I said, ‘Here am I send me.’”

I was blessed to have wonderful and godly parents. My dad was especially adept at doing just about anything that needed to be done. Carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and, any other specialty when the need demanded it.

My mom on the other hand was more the director of operations—Dad’s operations that is. When someone needed something done, Mom would quickly volunteer poor ole Dad and say he would be glad to do it! Dad would just smile and moan and get busy doing it.

Christians all too often are like my mom. When God has a task to be accomplished they start thinking about someone else who could do the job. While the words may not be spoken, their message is this: “Here am I—send someone else!”

Matthew 9:37-38 tells us that we are to pray for the Lord to send out laborers for the harvest. When you ask the Lord to use you, don’t question your assigned part, just take joy in your participation.

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

WE WIN​​​​​​​!​​ – 1 Corinthians 15:56 Devotional

by | Nov 17, 2025 | 1 Corinthians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WE WIN​​​​​​​!​​

1 Corinthians 15:56 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 15:56

“The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

People delight in being on the winning side. I have yet to hear anyone cheer when their team is losing. It is a cause for celebration when a person wins a position over the other applicants who have also applied for a certain job.

In this sin-sick world it may feel like believers are on the losing side. The forces of evil seem to become stronger and more violent with each passing day. It may even appear that God is not concerned when we encounter suffering and loss.

As we read today’s Scripture, we discover that we are on the winning side. It is not because of what we do, but what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us. It may be compared with relaxing in the stands while your team struggles on the field. When your team wins you stand and cheer, “WE WON!” You may have done nothing more strenuous than eat a bag of popcorn, but you share in your team’s victory.

As believers we have been assured of victory. It is not because of anything else we have done to merit the victory other than trusting in Jesus for salvation. Victory is ours! We win!

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