INCORRUPTIBLE BEAUTY!

1 Peter 3:4 – Devotional

1 Peter 3:4

“Let your beauty be the hidden person of the heart,
with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,
which is very precious in the sight of God.”

A dear friend once forwarded a prayer request sent to him from a deeply distressed daughter for her mother who was facing serious medical issues. In the message she mentioned that her father was giving loving care to his precious wife of many years. This daughter said that her dad still thought his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world, regardless of her age and physical condition.

As I read those words I thought back to the last days of my wife, Joyce. Her frail little body required much attention. She could hardly move and her mind had difficulty staying focused. In spite of all that, to me she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Why was that? It was the inner beauty that Jesus had given her. Joyce never was one that enjoyed the spotlight. She was shy by nature, but her gentle and quiet spirit cared about people and she ministered in her own quiet way.

Many flashy female movie stars make themselves up to look glamorous, but in a short time that outer façade wears off and they lose their appeal. Godly women get more beautiful each year. Ladies, be such a beauty. (MEN AS WELL!)

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

WONDERFUL GRACE OF JESUS!

Romans 5:20-21 – Devotional

Wonderful Grace of Jesus (lyrics by Haldor Lillenas 1918) – download mp3

Romans 5:20-21

“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.“

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

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has combined AI and Haldor Lillenas’ (1918) lyrics to produce a new version of the song entitled, “Wonderful Grace of Jesus.” Russ would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

Wonderful Grace of Jesus (lyrics by Haldor Lillenas, 1918)

[verse 1]
Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it? Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden, Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

[refrain]
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty, rolling sea!
Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient grace for even me!
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame!
Oh, magnify the precious name of Jesus! Praise His name!

[verse 2]
Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching to all the lost –
By it I have been pardoned, Saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder, Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

[refrain]
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty, rolling sea!
Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient grace for even me!
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame!
Oh, magnify the precious name of Jesus! Praise His name!

[verse 3]
Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power, Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven, For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

[refrain]
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty, rolling sea!
Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient grace for even me!
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame!
Oh, magnify the precious name of Jesus! Praise His name!

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

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

OUR TRUE CITIZENSHIP! Philippians 3:20 – Devotional

by | Feb 19, 2026 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR TRUE CITIZENSHIP!

Philippians 3:20 – Devotional

Philippians 3:20

“Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we eagerly await our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

I reside in Tumwater, Washington, however my zip code is the same as Olympia, Washington. There are instances where a person’s place of residence is in an area that shows a different location than where they actually reside.

There are certain localities in the world where a person’s residence is nearer a town or city in another nation. One road, river, or railroad can make a distinction as to how an address is determined.

When I was stationed in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, Canada, I had a mail box with a Canadian address. Mail sent to that address came to me, but I was not a Canadian citizen. I was only a temporary resident.

As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we are citizens of heaven. We may have a temporary address here in this world, but our forever home is celestial and eternal. I frequently find myself homesick for a place I have never been, but I will reside there forever and ever. That is my real citizenship!

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