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so many times in our life when the opportunity is lost to witness to someone because we are afraid — afraid to appear outdated, use the wrong Scriptures, or to be misunderstood in some other way.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

DON’T PASS ME BY!

Mark 9:24 – Devotional

“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

This week we have a special new song for you created by Russ Hansen entitled, “Don’t Pass Me By.” 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).

Don’t Pass Me By 

(inspired by the hymn “Pass Me Not” by Fanny Crosby, 1868; new lyrics and music by Russ & Janelle Hansen)

[Verse 1]
Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
Listen to my cry.
While You call to those around me,
Lord, don’t pass me by.

[Chorus]
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry.
While You call to those around me,
Lord, don’t pass me by.

[Verse 2]
At Your throne of tender mercy,
Let my heart find peace.
Kneeling low in true repentance—
Lord, help my unbelief.

[Chorus]
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry.
While You call to those around me,
Lord, don’t pass me by.

[Verse 3]
Only trusting in Your goodness,
I will seek Your face.
Heal my wounded, weary spirit—
Save me by Your grace.

[Chorus]
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry.
While You call to those around me,
Lord, don’t pass me by.

[Verse 4]
You’re the source of all my comfort,
More than life to me.
Whom on earth have I beside You?
Who in heaven but Thee?

[Chorus — Final]
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry.
While You call to those around me,
Lord, don’t pass me by.
While You call to those around me,
Lord, don’t pass me by.

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

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