LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE​! – Luke 12:18-19 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE​​!

Luke 12:18-19 – Devotional

Luke 12:18-19

“So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.'”

Since I have astigmatism that can only be corrected with glasses, I have had to wear them most of my life (a long, long time). Over the years I have heard people talk about being near sighted and even once worked for a near-sighted Probate Court Judge (his vision was great while reading or seeing anything close up).

He was telling a group of us about being fitted for glasses when he was in his 20’s–it was almost a shock to his senses that he could actually read house numbers from the street! He had no idea that this was what people with normal eyesight were able to see.

Isn’t it tragic that most people on the face of the earth are spiritually near sighted? They see only those things that are part of the here and now, but fail to perceive that the here and now is but a vapor compared to the vast reality of eternity.

Satan has blinded the eyes of the unregenerate so that they refuse to consider that eternity is merely a heartbeat away. The things of this life will quickly be gone and only those who have received Jesus Christ by personal invitation will enter into the home he has prepared for those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Are you near sighted or far sighted?

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

AMAZING LOVE! – Ephesians 2:4-5 Devotional

by | Oct 2, 2026 | Ephesians

AMAZING LOVE!

Ephesians 2:4-5 Devotional

Ephesians 2:4-5

“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)”

This week we have a special new song for you created by Russ Hansen entitled, “Amazing Love.” He’d appreciate your feedback on this song–please send it to him at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

“Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts” (Colossians 3:16, emphasis added) and “Sing a new song to the Lord!” (Psalm 96:1).

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

Amazing Love (inspired by Charles Wesley)

Verse 1
How could it be that grace would choose
A heart like mine, so torn and bruised
You bore the cross, You took my blame
I caused the pain, You took the shame
The nails, the thorns, the victory
All of it done for someone like me

Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
The Son of heaven bled for me
Amazing love, how can it be?

Verse 2
The Immortal stepped into the grave
Who could explain the life He gave
No angel mind could ever see
The depths of such a mystery
Mercy spoke where justice stood
Love outweighed what never could

Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
The Son of heaven bled for me
Amazing love, how can it be?

Verse 3
He left the throne, laid glory down
Wore human flesh, wore sorrow’s crown
With empty hands but endless grace
He took our sin, He took our place
This mercy vast, this love so free
Somehow it still found out me

Pre-Chorus
Oh, it found me
Yes, it found me
Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
The Son of heaven bled for me
Amazing love, how can it be?

Verse 4
I lived in chains, I lived in night
Bound by fear, out of sight
Then heaven’s light broke through the dark
Awoke my soul, ignited my heart
The chains fell off, my faith could see
I rose, I ran, You called me free

Bridge
No guilt remains, no fear, no shame
I stand alive in Jesus’ name
His righteousness now covers me
I walk in hope eternally

Final Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
I stand redeemed, I finally see
Amazing love, how can it be?

Outro
The cross, the grave, the victory
Amazing love — You died for me

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

GOD’S PROTECTION​! – Psalm 23:4 Devotional

by | Oct 1, 2026 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S PROTECTION​​!

Psalm 23:4 – Devotional

Psalm 23:4

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

Years ago my wife Joyce worked as a Legislative Assistant for the Washington State House of Representatives. She did not drive so I made it a habit of dropping her off and picking her up from work.

One afternoon I was waiting for her when I noticed a car I had never seen before stop in the waiting area. For some reason I was suspicious of the driver as he seemed to be acting out of the ordinary.

About then I saw Heather, a receptionist that worked on the same floor as Joyce, exit the building and start walking to the parking area. The suspicious driver started his car and I noticed that he was following her. Immediately I started my car and followed him. As Heather reached her car I drove next to the stranger and gave him my most ominous stare. He quickly left the area. I called the police to report what I had observed and gave them his license number.

Even when we are not aware of it, God is our protector. The evil one may be lurking about, but we have a loving God who is always on guard to insure that we are safe from all harm. Rest in Him alone.

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