HE KNOWS! – Psalm 139:1-4 Devotional

HE KNOWS!

Psalm 139:1-4 – Devotional

Psalm 139:1-4

“O LORD, You have searched me and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O LORD.“

Many years ago during a Sunday morning worship service, Zane, our oldest grandson, was sitting next to Joyce. As I was halfway into the sermon, Zane leaned over and asked, “Gran, is Papa talking about me?” She assured him that it was the Holy Spirit using Papa’s words to speak to his heart.

Many times I have received responses from readers of the Daily-E-Votional remarking that the words in a particular daily message was just for them. It assures me that the Lord delivers my words to the heart that needs them.

I find comfort in the realization that the Lord knows all of our tomorrows just as well as He knows our todays. We try to guess what lies ahead for us, but only the Lord has our future in His hands — as well as our present.

Here is the vital question: Are we trying to make our own choices with our limited view of what lies ahead? That is like driving down the freeway at 70 miles per hour with our eyes closed. I would rather prayerfully seek the guidance of the Lord than stubbornly demand my own way.

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

TIME! – Luke 12:19-21 Devotional

by | Sep 9, 2026 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TIME!

Luke 12:19-21 – Devotional

Luke 12:19-21

“And I’ll say to myself, ‘You have plenty of grain laid up for many years.
Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.’

“But God said to him, ‘You fool!
This very night your life will be demanded from you.
Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things
for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

When I was young I seldom, if ever, thought about my life ending.

In my 20’s I laughed at my brother when he reached the ripe old age of 30. He was seven years older and it would be a long time before I got that old.

I should not have laughed, for in what seemed like a blink of an eye, I reached 30 . . . then 40 . . . and here I am at the unbelievable age of 90! Time has flown by.

Many of my friends and classmates have died, and we never know what lies ahead for any of us.

On Saturday, January 8, 2011, a man went on a shooting rampage at a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona. This horrific event took place at a meet-and-greet event held by congressworman Gabrielle Giffords. Six people, including a nine-year-old girl, were killed—and 13, including representative Giffords, were seriously wounded.

Stop and think about this event for a few uncomfortable moments.

Here was a crowd of people and a Representative, happy and very much alive. I can imagine some had come to shake her hand or to implore her about a particular issue.

Then, in a moment in time, everything changed. Suddenly several people were wounded . . . and just as suddenly, several others are forever thrust into eternity as their time here on earth ends.

Regardless of age, we never know when our time will come. Are you ready?

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

BLESS THE LORD ALWAYS! – Psalm 34:1 Devotional

by | Sep 8, 2026 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

BLESS THE LORD ALWAYS!

Psalm 34:1 – Devotional

Psalm 34:1

“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

We should always be a BLESSING PEOPLE! Honestly I have been around some people who drain the life and vitality out of anyone they are in contact with.

What does it mean to always bless the Lord? I think it means to leave people feeling better because they have been with us. Blessing the Lord for all things is what we are to do. Doing it consistently is what we are to be.

We live in a hurting world. Trouble and strife are all around us and it seems to be getting worse all the time. If ever there was a time when people need a blessing from the Lord, it is now. The people of God are the ones who should at all times and in every situation be a BLESSING PEOPLE.

How would you describe yourself? Let me rephrase that. How would other people describe you? Are you a BLESSING PERSON? Do you leave a trail of people that have been blessed after spending time with you? The Scripture says we are to bless the Lord at all times and praise is to be continually in our mouth. Can that honestly be said about you? Strive to always be one who can be described as a Blessing person. Encourage and bless as many people as possible today!

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

LABOR DAY! – John 9:4 Devotional

by | Sep 7, 2026 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LABOR DAY!

John 9:4 – Devotional

John 9:4​

“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.”

Today, September 7th, is Labor Day here in the US and Labour Day in Canada. Isn’t it interesting that it is called Labor/Labour Day, when usually no work is done on this holiday? One of the great mysteries of life! Go figure!

There are so many times in our life when the opportunity is lost to witness to someone because we are afraid — afraid to appear outdated, use the wrong Scriptures, or to be misunderstood in some other way.

I once heard of a young man who was being trained in soul-winning evangelism. He told his trainer that he would go along on the calls they made, but he would never be able to do the witnessing himself. There came a day, however, when the young man wanted to witness to his college roommate. As they talked, the young man seemed to have forgotten everything in which he had been instructed. He used the “wrong” scriptures and was very blunt in his approach. He finally asked his roommate, “Well, are you going to accept Jesus as your Savior or not?” The roommate replied, “Of course I will. You made it so plain to me.” They knelt and the roommate received Jesus!

If someone was approaching a bridge that had been washed away and you were stopped ahead of them, I’m sure you would immediately wave your hands to warn them of the dangerous precipice that lie ahead. Believe me, there is one! Let’s labor every day!

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