Psalm 100

[Verse 1]
Let every nation raise a joyful sound,
Let every heart lift up the Lord.
Come with gladness, come with singing,
Let your praises rise before Him.

Remember who the Lord God is,
He formed us and we belong to Him.
We are His own, the people He has chosen,
Like sheep who follow where He leads.

[Chorus]
Come, let us praise the Lord,
Let our voices fill the earth!
He is good and He is faithful,
His great love will never end.
From one generation to another,
His mercy will remain.
Come, let us praise the Lord,
And honor His holy name!

[Verse 2]
Come through His gates with thankful hearts,
Enter His courts with songs of praise.
Give Him thanks for all His goodness,
Lift your voices to His name.

The Lord has always been good to us,
His steadfast love will never cease.
His faithfulness goes on forever,
His mercy reaches every age.

[Bridge]
The Lord is good!
His mercy never ends!
The Lord is faithful!
His love remains forever!
From age to age,
His faithfulness remains!

[Final Chorus]
Come, let us praise the Lord,
Let our voices fill the earth!
He is good and He is faithful,
His great love will never end.
From one generation to another,
His mercy will remain.
Come, let us praise the Lord,
And honor His holy name!

[Outro]
With thankful hearts we’ll sing,
With joyful hearts we’ll praise.
The Lord is good forever,
His faithfulness remains.
His love will never end!

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

DOING OUR BEST! – Psalm 19:14 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

DOING OUR BEST​!

Psalm 19:14 – Devotional

Psalm 19:14 ​

“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”

As I reflect back on my boyhood days, I feel blessed for the time I spent as a Boy Scout. The values and qualities that we were taught have played a vital part of the person I have become. As I was thinking about the Boy Scout Oath we took at the beginning of each meeting, I only wish that each Scout lived up to the oath.

“On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help others at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”

Truly honorable people recognize a duty to God. It is not that God owes us, but much more that we owe Him our best. If Jesus gave His life for us, we need to commit ourselves to serve Him with the best we have. We are also to serve others. One of the strongest messages that Jesus stressed was to give to others.

How we behave when no one is looking reveals the true person we are. We may keep up appearances when others are looking, but how do we act when we are alone with ourselves? We need to be aware that the Lord knows the thoughts and intents of our heart — He is always looking for our best!

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

THE ROYAL LAW! – James 2:8 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE ROYAL LAW​!

James 2:8 – Devotional

James 2:8 ​

“If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture,
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you do well.”

One Sunday, following our monthly fellowship dinner, we were discussing ways in which we could more effectively become a cohesive church family. We do not want to simply come together for worship, but we desire to become more like the New Testament church.

In a short time our discussion led us to the necessity of reaching out to others. That does not imply that we only reach out to our own members, which is okay — but we want to expand our love to those outside our congregation who have legitimate needs.

“Loving our neighbor” is the Royal Law that Jesus plants within the heart and soul of the believer. It is not a burdensome requirement, but more of a bubbling desire to serve Jesus by serving others.

I think the word servant must be stressed more. We need to rise to the challenge that our Lord gives by being aware of those around us and the needs in their lives. We can show our love by helping with groceries, giving a ride, watching the kids, mowing the lawn . . . you get the point. Are we fulfilling the Royal Law?

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

IN THE WRONG PLACE! – Numbers 31:8b Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

IN THE WRONG PLACE​!

Numbers 31:8b – Devotional

Numbers 31:8b ​

“They also killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor.”

As the children of Israel possessed the land promised them by the Lord, various kings were killed. Along with the many Kings mentioned is the name of a man named Balaam. Do you remember him? Balaam was hired by Balak to curse Israel. God took control of his tongue and instead of cursing Israel he blessed them.

Balak was so angry that he refused to pay Balaam, so Balaam said he was returning to his own country, which by the way was several hundred miles away. So what was Balaam doing back here in Moab? I think we see that this renegade prophet had compromised and sold himself out.

In Revelation 2:14 the Lord says this to the church at Pergamos; “But I have a few things against you, because you hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.”

When we are convicted of our sins we are called to turn away from those sins completely. There is no going back? I have no idea what temptation you are facing right now in your life, but I urge you to make the right choice and choose to serve the Lord!

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

CHOOSE GOD’S WAY! – Joshua 24:15 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

CHOOSE GOD’S WAY​!

Joshua 24:15 – Devotional

Joshua 24:15 ​

“And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

When we go to an eating establishment we are faced with many appealing choices. We may know that whatever we chose will be delicious, but would it be good for us? Ah! That’s a different story isn’t it?

From time to time we all are called upon to make choices. As a matter of fact, we are faced with choices each and every day. Some of these choices are relatively insignificant (such as what to order off a restaurant menu), while others could be life changing.

The Israelites had seen the powerful hand of the Lord as He led them from their bondage in Egypt to go and possess the Promised Land. You would think that they would never want to turn their back on God, but they did! Why? Because they yielded to the temptation of Satan!

I have no idea what temptation you are facing right now in your life, but I urge you to make the right choice and, like Joshua, choose to serve the Lord!

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