DELIGHT THE LORD​!​​ – 1 Samuel 19:16 Devotional

DELIGHT THE LORD​!​​

1 Samuel 19:16 – Devotional

1 Samuel 19:16

“Does the LORD delight as much in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen for His voice is better than the fat of rams.”

When I was a Juvenile Probation Officer I frequently counseled my probationers to be careful about their actions. Just as frequently they ignored my warnings which subsequently led to their re-arrest and being back in Juvenile Court.

We have often heard the expression “haste makes waste.” This is a truism which has merit. It is also true that being careless leads to waste and chaos. It may not be one’s intention to do something wrong, but careless behavior has consequences.

Many people have made a commitment to serve the Lord with all of their heart, mind, and soul. This is a good starting point, but it is just that. Commitment must be followed up with positive and continuous steps of action.

Have you made promises and then allowed the things of the world to slip in which cause you to become careless? Has your careless disregard of spiritual matters then led to problems in your relationships with God and other people? Make a fresh commitment to the Lord and commit to yourself to delight the Lord!

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

HIGH AND LIFTED UP​!​​ – Psalm 57:5 Devotional

by | Nov 4, 2025 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

HIGH AND LIFTED UP​!​​

Psalm 57:5 – Devotional

Psalm 57:5

“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.”

It is easy to become overcome by the sin and degradation that seems to be more and more apparent with each passing moment. I was going to say with each passing day, but the growth of wickedness is much greater than that.

As faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have a choice in the way we live for our Lord. We can survive under the circumstances of life, or we can soar high and lifted up with our Savior and Lord. I CHOOSE TO SOAR!

There are two words that come to mind right now: surviving or thriving. As our Lord has called us to follow Him in all things, we have two choices. We can either throw a spiritual tantrum, or lift our banner high and go forward with assurance!

The closer we come to the moment we are lifted out of this world to be with the Lord, the more fervent we need to be for Him! We may have physical and/or mental limitations this side of paradise, but we will soon be with our Lord! What a day that will be!

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

PURPOSE​!​​ – 2 Timothy 1:9-10 Devotional

by | Nov 3, 2025 | 2 Timothy

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

PURPOSE​!​​

2 Timothy 1:9-10 – Devotional

2 Timothy 1:9-10

“He has saved us and called us to a holy life–not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

PURPOSE!

  • Why am I here?
  • What is the purpose of my existence?
  • Has God given me a reason for being?
  • Do I have an impact on the lives of those in my sphere of influence?
  • Have I seen God at work in the lives of those around me because I was used by the Lord?

These are just a few of the questions we may ask ourselves to determine what God’s purpose is for each of us. I have even counseled people who felt that they had no spiritual purpose in life. Others had gifts and talents, but they had nothing to give, and so they left the work of the Lord up to others.

I once passed a church and saw a man I knew mowing the lawn. When I asked him if the church hired him to mow the lawn, he informed me that they had no idea he was doing it.

He saw a need and performed it.

I discovered that there were a number of elderly people that he also helped out. It was his purpose for those in need.

Your purpose in serving the Lord may not be a ministry such as preaching or teaching.

When the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to some need, no matter how insignificant it may seem, go for it!

Your purpose might seem unimportant to you, but obeying the Lord is vital to being a faithful servant.

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