PLEASANT AND COMELY​!

Psalm 147:1 – Devotional

Psalm 147:1

“Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.”

I can recall as a young boy trying to sing louder than a girl in our class. It might have blown some of the vital vocal chords in the process, for I have lacked vocal acuity for as long as I can remember.

I love and appreciate music, but I simply cannot express it in the manner I desire. At times I have heard people sing that seemed to think they could sing, but what they thought and what they produced was vastly different.

I look forward to the day when we will gather around the Thrown of God and sing with voices that are perfect in pitch, parameter, and purpose. Until that day I will enjoy listening to the voices of those blessed with the gift of music.

It is wonderful that our praise to the Lord does not depend on our ability, but upon our availability. Give yourself to the Lord in all that you do and your actions will become a sweet, pleasant, and comely sound of praise to Him!

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

GET THIS LIGHT! – John 8:12 Devotional

by | May 13, 2026 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GET THIS LIGHT!

John 8:12 – Devotional

John 8:12

“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.’”

I frequently receive solicitations through my e-mail offering the brightest flashlight on the face of the planet. Well, it may not be specifically described in that manner, but they make it sound as if I cannot live without it.

Now I want you to know that I am not adverse to light. As a teen, I learned to quietly slip into the house a few minutes after curfew because I did not want my parents to know I was late. A few times, however, I found myself stumbling over a chair or table. My mom had a habit of rearranging the furniture. Hmm! I wonder if she did that as a ploy to hear when I came home?

It is sad to realize that many people have not received The Light (Jesus) that came into the world to free us from the inky blackness of sin. We are born into sin and the only way for the light to shine is to receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. It is not by infant baptism or doing good works, but only by confessing our sins and asking the Lord to take control of our life.

Do you have His Light in your life? If not, I urge you to take that vital step right now. I assure you that this Light is definitely the brightest light in the universe!

Blessings dear hearts!

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

THE PURE WORD! – Psalm 12:6 Devotional

by | May 12, 2026 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE PURE WORD!

Psalm 12:6 – Devotional

Psalm 12:6

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.”

I think almost everyone will readily agree that we live in an impure world. From time to time we hear the call for us to return to the “good ole days!” Some astute observer has observed that we were neither good nor were we old.

The heart of mankind is wicked by nature. We like to picture babies as being perfect little angels, but those of us who are parents will vividly recall those times when our “little angels” did not behave as angels!

As imperfect people living in an imperfect world, we need a reliable source of spiritual truth. That unchanging and always reliable truth is the Word of God. Just to carry the Bible or quote a few verses is not enough. We must live it!

We live the Word of God by spending time in it and making it the dependable source of truth. When we use God’s Word as our source of truth, the errors of worldly philosophy will readily be exposed. THE PURE WORD!

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

REVIVE US LORD! – 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 Devotional

by | May 11, 2026 | 2 Chronicles

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

REVIVE US LORD!

2 Chronicles 7:13-14 – Devotional

2 Chronicles 7:13-14

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

When I was a boy we would typically have a revival service in our church twice a year. A traveling evangelist would come and conduct the meetings every night for two weeks. Now in the day of labor saving devices we just do not seem to have the time and energy for extra meetings. Could it be our misplaced priorities?

Churches have encountered problems and families have been fractured because of the sin of pride. It often seems that there is a gigantic contest between churches to see which one is the best.

People hop from one congregation to another on a whim. Instead of searching the Scriptures to discover the will of God for their lives in Christ Jesus, they seek some new pew to park themselves while trying to feel satiated.

God’s plan for revival is for His people who are called by His name (myself included) to get on our faces and humbly confess our need for a refreshing encounter with the God who created everything. Lord we need You now more than ever before. Come and bring refreshing renewal!

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