GREET ONE ANOTHER WITH JOY! – Romans 8:16 Devotional

GREET ONE ANOTHER WITH JOY​!

Romans 8:16 – Devotional

Romans 8:16

Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.

During the dark days of disease and pandemic, social distancing has created a sense of isolation and hopelessness. I think this delights Satan and gives him a way to separate us from those who would give us hope in the Lord.

Thank God we live in a time when we can contact each other easily by telephone, e-mail, and numerous gidgets, gadgets, and gizmos. When all else fails we get up off our do nothing and meet in person.

I am thrilled to open my home each week to our small home church. But that is not enough. All throughout the week there is contact between members by means of the devices I have just mentioned.

The device we may use to touch the life of those around us is not the important thing. It is the joy of Jesus that bubbles up within us and gives us the reality that as part of the family of God, we have deep and abiding joy that satisfies the deepest longing within our heart. I want to encourage each of us (me included), to greet one another with joy as often as possible!

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

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY! – Revelation 5:11-12 Devotional

by | Nov 29, 2024 | Revelation

Listen to Today's Evotional

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY​​​!

Revelation 5:11-12​ – Devotional

Revelation 5:11-12

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’

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

Angels From the Realms of Glory by James Montgomery

Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o’er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation’s story,
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth:

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the infant light:

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen his natal star:

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you—break your chains:

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Though an infant now we view him,
He shall fill his Father’s throne,
Gather all the nations to him;
Every knee shall then bow down:

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

All creation, join in praising
God the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising,
To th’eternal Three in One:

Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

CHOOSE TO BE THANKFUL! – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Devotional

by | Nov 28, 2024 | 1 Thessalonians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

CHOOSE TO BE THANKFUL​!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Devotional

1 Thessalonians 5:18

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Being thankful is not, or at least it should not be, a once-a-year thing. As members of God’s family we are to be thankful at all times. It is not our prerogative to choose when or what we will be thankful for.

In today’s Scripture, Paul admonishes the church at Thessalonica (as well as all of us) that we are to give thanks in everything. Do you frequently look as though you have been baptized in vinegar? That, my dear friend, is not being continually thankful.

Paul also encourages believers to pray continually. That brings us to another embarrassing question: How is your prayer life? Are you continually speaking to the Lord in prayer? It is a discipline that we need to pursue.

The last admonition in line with today’s theme is that the Lord expects us to thank Him in all circumstances. Chew on that while you are munching on your sumptuous dinner. What if you had little or nothing to eat? Would you still give thanks? That is exactly the Lord’s will in any and every circumstance. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

May God richly bless you by your words and actions!
