JESUS LOVES ME! – Luke 18:15-17 Devotional

by | Feb 14, 2025 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

JESUS LOVES ME!

Luke 18:15-17​ – Devotional

Luke 18:15-17

“People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’”

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

In 1860, Susan Warner wrote a novel titled, “Say and Seal.” She alluded to the fact that Jesus loves little children. After the novel had been published and circulated, she was informed by a Sunday School teacher that a young boy was lying in the hospital near death.

Susan called her sister, Anna, and asked if she could write a hymn for the teacher to sing to the dying lad. Anna wrote the first verse and two years later, William Bradbury wrote the second and third stanzas.

The simple words of this song speak volumes. I heard the story of an old retired minister who had returned to speak at the church he had pastored for many years. He had not been seen by the congregation for a very long time and they were very anxious to hear what his words of wisdom would be. Slowly he made his way to the microphone and spoke in a soft voice: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so!” His words were more powerful than the best prepared sermon.

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

JESUS LOVES ME

1. Jesus loves me! This I know, For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

2. Jesus loves me He who died, Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

3. Jesus, take this heart of mine, Make it pure and wholly Thine;
On the cross You died for me, I will try to live for Thee.

Refrain: Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

AN OPEN INVITATION! – Luke 15:31 Devotional

by | Feb 13, 2025 | Luke

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

AN OPEN INVITATION!

Luke 15:31 – Devotional

Luke 15:31

“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all I have is yours.’”

I love the parables of Jesus. They have taught me so much. Jesus did not spend His earthly ministry teaching the spiritually elite, although He amazed them when He was in the Temple at twelve years of age. His ministry was to share the good news of hope with the common people.

It seems to be very evident that His parable of the Prodigal Son was given to encourage those who had lost their way and that there was a Father waiting to welcome them home with rejoicing.

I know that the Lord is waiting with open arms to receive the discouraged and down-hearted prodigal. It makes me want to shout: What a mighty God we serve! I mean that with all my heart and soul.

It is my desire to always strive to be used by our Heavenly Father to cheerfully welcome home those who wake up and realize that they would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

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

LEARN A LESSON! – Jeremiah 35:13 Devotional

by | Feb 12, 2025 | Jeremiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LEARN A LESSON!

Jeremiah 35:13 – Devotional

Jeremiah 35:13

“Will you not learn a lesson and obey My words?’ declares the LORD.”

When I was a junior in high school several of us journeyed a few hundred miles from home to work in the harvest. We were able to secure temporary employment at an insecticide processing company.

In the processing room was a large platform where various bags of a powder-like product weighing 50 to 75 pounds were dumped into a large hopper. A 6’x8’piece of ½ inch plywood would be lowered while mixing. When it was open there were chains on either side to prevent the bags it from falling over. The idea was to empty the product in the center of the opening away from the chains.

An older man, given to drink, had worked there for quite a while and supervised our activities. He handled the mixing. We quickly learned the process, of staying clear of the chains, but that old veteran never seemed to get it through his head.

Time after time a heavy bag hit against the chain and it would slam the plywood down striking his head. He was almost bald and his head was covered with sores from where the plywood had hit him so many times.

As I have thought about this incident, it brings to mind how many people know that the wages of sin produces bitter dividends. But in spite of knowing the consequences, they will not learn a lesson. May we all be teachable!

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

THE ANSWER IS GOD! – Job 42:5-6 Devotional

by | Feb 11, 2025 | Job

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE ANSWER IS GOD!

Job 42:5-6 – Devotional

Job 42:5-6

“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

I frequently receive messages from readers who feel as if the enemy of our souls has his weapons trained directly on them. They seem to give Satan more credit than he deserves.

I have been thinking of a few questions that may help to put things in perspective.

  • Who is more powerful, God or Satan?
  • Who is the defeated foe, God or Satan?
  • Who wants to make your life miserable, God or Satan?
  • Who wants you to allow Him to fight your battles, God or Satan?
  • Who wants to tempt you into giving up, God or Satan?

You could add many more such questions. The important thing is to come to the same conclusion that Job did in today’s Scripture. It is not just hearing about God, but opening our spiritual eyes to see Him ready to meet our need. The answer to all of the above questions is God!

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