PRECIOUS PROMISES​!

Psalm 19:14 – Devotional

Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Years ago I heard a minister relate a heartbreaking story. It seems that a father had promised to take his son on a fishing trip. The boy was eagerly anticipating the time when just he and his father would be alone on a lake just teeming with fish. (Such lakes are more in the area of dreams than reality)

The day of the trip had arrived and the son was eagerly packing all of his gear into the car. It was just then that the phone rang. The father went back into the house to take the call. After a few minutes the son followed his dad just in time to hear him tell the caller that he had nothing important planned for the day and would be right there.

The long awaited trip was off. Not only was there to be no fishing trip with his dad, but the dad had thought so little of it that he told the caller that he had nothing important planned for the day. The relationship between father and son was torn asunder that day and sadly was never restored.

How many promises have we broken that seemed small to us, but significant to another person? But much more important, how have we grieved the heart of God by failing to keep our promises that we made to Him?

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

WE CAN TRUST IN GOD! – 2 Samuel 22:31 Devotional

by | Nov 26, 2024 | 2 Samuel

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WE CAN TRUST IN GOD​!

2 Samuel 22:31 – Devotional

2 Samuel 22:31

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all them that trust in Him.

The phrase; IN GOD WE TRUST, was officially adopted as the motto of the United States back in 1956. There has always been a conflict with the motto by opponents of anything spiritual. Atheists hate the very thought of yielding to the rule of God in the life of a nation.

Regardless of what the opponents of the Lord think or say, there is a truth that can never be denied: WE CAN TRUST IN GOD! We may not be able to trust in human bureaucracy, but God can always be trusted.

When we encounter the storms of life, be they personal or national, we have the assurance that God can always be trusted. In the past individuals, families, groups, and even nations have disappointed us, but the Lord has never failed us. We have all too often failed Him, but He always remains faithful and true!

As we go forth to live our life for Christ, let us determine from the very core of our being that we will trust in the Lord with everything. Hold nothing back and cast all of our cares and concerns on Him because we know that God not only cares for us, He is far bigger than our most troublesome concerns! WE CAN TRUST IN GOD!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!

LEARNING TO CAST! – 1 Peter 5:6-7 Devotional

by | Nov 25, 2024 | 1 Peter

LEARNING TO CAST!

1 Peter 5:6-7 – Devotional

1 Peter 5:6-7

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

I have never considered myself a fly fisherman, but when I was stationed in the northern tip of Newfoundland, Canada, I discovered that only fly fishing was permitted. My learning curve was pathetic. I had more tangled line and snapped flies than I care to remember. Eventually I was able to do a fair job and caught and released many feisty brook trout.

Humility is a quality that is also difficult to attain. I once heard about a pastor that had preached several sermons on humility. After the third or fourth week a member spoke to him after the service. “Thank you, Pastor, for your wonderful series on humility. I really do not have many gifts, but I do take pride in the fact that I have humility.” BEEP! The pastor felt like gagging.

Peter tells us that humility is attained by casting all of our cares on Him. It is not what we do that matters, but what we allow the Lord to do when we cast all of our cares and concerns on Him.

The attainment of humility is never gained by striving but by casting. It is not focusing our attention on ourselves but on the Lord. My desire is to confidently trust everything I am or ever hope to be in the hands of my loving Lord.

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