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

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!

WHAT GOD BLESSES! – 1 Corinthians 1:27 Devotional

by | Apr 22, 2024 | 1 Corinthians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WHAT GOD BLESSES​!

1 Corinthians 1:27 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 1:27

“God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and He has chosen the weak things of the world to shame things which are mighty.“

If you ever feel that you are not smart enough, or popular enough, or from the right kind of family to do God’s work in an effective manner, read today’s Scripture passage once again. Who does God choose? The foolish and the weak — that describes me!

Jesus did not teach on a theological level, yet His clear and simple teaching has confounded doctors of theology across the centuries. He was the creator of the world, yet His ministry was extremely simple.

He did not intend for people to be mentally brilliant in order to know Him personally. It was and always has been this simple: Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

We should never demean one another with words that insult. Rather, we should always encourage each other with words that convey love and respect! Look for the good in others and always encourage others by telling them you notice what they are doing.

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

O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST! – Psalm 90:1-2 Devotional

by | Apr 19, 2024 | Psalm

Listen to Today's Evotional

O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST​!

Psalm 90:1-2 – Devotional

Psalm 90:1-2

“Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.“

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

This week’s hymn by Isaac Watts is a paraphrase of Psalm 90. It originally consisted of nine stanzas. In present day usage, however, the hymn is usually limited to stanzas; one, two, three, five, and nine.

The hymn was originally part of  The Psalms of David Imitated in the language of the New Testament, published by Watts in 1719.

It has often been sung for special occasions in England. For instance it was sung in 1941, at a religious service on board HMS Prince of Wales, attended by Sir Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt as part of the conference creating the Atlantic Charter. It was also sung at the funeral service for Winston Churchill in 1965.

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

O GOD, OUR HELP IN AGES PAST

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in following years.

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guide while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
