ETERNAL LIFE!

1 John 2:17 – Devotional

1 John 2:17

“The world is passing away and the lust of it,
but the one who does the will of God abides forever.”

Some quick-witted person has observed that none of us will get out of this world alive. While that may be true in the physical sense, it certainly is not true in the eternal sense!

From time to time I allow my mind to attempt to fathom the reality of eternal life. I soon realize for the human mind it is impossible. We have always experienced a beginning and ending, so the idea of everlasting eternity stretches our mind past the breaking point. We simply must accept eternity as an unknown reality!

The reality of eternal life is true for the believer and also for the unbeliever. Each and every human will live forever. We will live in heaven with God or in hell with Satan. I have chosen eternal life in heaven with God!

Our decision as to where we will spend eternity must be made before we die. Now is the day of decision and sadly some have delayed to make the decision and the hour of death has taken them. I implore you to make sure you accept the glorious offer of eternal life while there is still time!

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

JESUS ALONE! – Luke 12:15 Devotional

by | Jun 8, 2026 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

JESUS ALONE!

Luke 12:15 – Devotional

Luke 12:15

“Take heed and beware of covetousness,
for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

I was once asked to visit our county jail and speak with a young man who had been convicted of a fairly serious crime. As I sat down at a table in the visiting room, Ben approached with a wide smile and placed his Bible on the table. It was a very touching meeting as Ben shared from his heart.

Ben told me that a year ago he felt he had it all—a new pickup, a boat and a motorcycle. Ben also had a wife and two kids and his future looked bright. Then he made some foolish decisions, because even with all of his possessions, Ben wanted even more. He committed a crime to get them. As a result he lost his wife and family, house and vehicles.

The smile on his face did not match the story Ben was relating to me. Ben shared how he had given his heart to the Lord Jesus while he was locked up in the county jail. I still can recall as Ben placed his hand on his Bible and said that the only things he could now count as his own were his Bible and a sweater back in his cell. Ben related that with Jesus in his heart he was the richest man in the world.

Ben deeply regretted his sin and offenses and what he had done to his family, but he was rejoicing in the fact that he had passed from death to eternal life and now possessed treasures which are of far more value than anything the world has to offer. It reminds me that when we come to the place that Jesus is all we have, we will find that He is all that we will ever need.

Many passages in Scripture bring us to the vital truth—Jesus is all we will ever need. Like that young man in the county jail, with Jesus in our heart we are richer than the wealthiest man in the world. It is time we start living with that truth.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL! – Music Devotional

by | Jun 5, 2026 | Psalm

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL!

Music Devotional

Psalm 103:1

“Bless the Lord, my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.“

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

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has created a new song entitled, “Bless the Lord, O My Soul.” He would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

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

Bless the Lord, O My Soul (inspired by Psalm 103)

 

Verse 1
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
All within me bless His name.
He forgives all my iniquities,
He heals me when I’m faint.
He redeems my life from darkness,
Crowns me with His tender care;
He renews me like the eagle
With the goodness He prepares.

Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
For His mercy never ends.
From the east unto the west
He has taken all my sin.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
For His love is strong and sure.
From everlasting to everlasting,
His compassion will endure.

Verse 2
The Lord works righteousness and justice
For the ones oppressed and worn.
He made known His ways to Moses,
Showed His wonders evermore.
He is gracious, slow to anger,
Rich in love that does not fade;
He will not always chide His people,
Nor repay us as we’ve strayed.

Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
For His mercy never ends.
From the east unto the west
He has taken all my sin.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
For His love is strong and sure.
From everlasting to everlasting,
His compassion will endure.

Verse 3
As a father shows deep pity
To the children that he loves,
So the Lord shows grace and kindness
To the hearts that fear His touch.
For He knows our frame is fragile,
We are dust before His throne;
Like the grass that fades and withers,
We are here—and then we’re gone.

Bridge
But His mercy goes forever,
From all ages to the next;
On His children and their children
Who will honor His commands.
He has set His throne in heaven,
Every kingdom under Him stands;
All His works proclaim His glory—
Bless the Lord, O my soul again!

Final Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
For His mercy never ends.
From the east unto the west
He has taken all my sin.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
For His love is strong and sure.
From everlasting to everlasting,
His compassion will endure.

Reprise
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.

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

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