BLESSINGS TO THE LORD!

Psalm 103:1 – Devotional

Psalm 103:1

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!“

When my wife Joyce and I were high school seniors, Joyce was crowned Homecoming Queen. I can still picture her sitting in the gymnasium on a make-shift throne along with her court. The crown on her head signified that she had been voted Queen of our student body.

The position carried no monetary rewards and on the following Monday the other students did not bow to her. She was just the same Joyce Harper as she had been before the coronation.

Our present-day society suffers from a short supply of love and mercy. It seems more and more that we live in a dog-eat-dog world. Even Christians seem to be caught up in the struggle to get ahead regardless of the needs of others.

My sweet “Homecoming Queen” might have surrendered her crown after that night so long ago, but she has received a far greater crown from the Lord. She had the qualities of love and mercy as a gift from God and went to be with Him almost nine years ago. She now has a crown that will last for eternity!

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

LOVE AS CHRIST LOVED! – Ephesians 5:25 Devotional

by | Dec 12, 2023 | Ephesians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LOVE AS CHRIST LOVED!

Ephesians 5:25 – Devotional

Ephesians 5:25

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.“

What determines a life of success? For some it may be achieving great prominence or a lofty promotion. I once experienced a little taste of that kind of success when I was elected Student Body President in high school. (Okay, it was a very small high school.)

As a youngster I was blessed to receive words of praise from both my grandfather and my father; they always let me know that they were proud of me. I have also received words of love and devotion from each of my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

The words that struck closest to my heart were some of the final words my precious wife of 62 years spoke before going to be with the Lord. With tears in her eyes, she reached out her frail hand to softly touch mine and said, “Honey, you are love personified!”

Husbands, fathers, all of you men who read this, I beg you to stop trying to be a rock in the garden of life and become fertilizer. Die to yourself in order that your life can become the source of growth in others. Become love personified!

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

WAITING FOR THE LORD! – Psalm 130:6 Devotional

by | Dec 11, 2023 | 1 John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WAITING FOR THE LORD!

Psalm 130:6 – Devotional

Psalm 130:6

“My soul waits for the Lord more than they who watch for the morning: I say, more than they who watch for the morning.“

Those of us who have at one time or another, worked the night shift, know the joy of watching day break across the eastern horizon. The black of night gives way to the grey of dawn and finally the brightness of sunrise.

In like manner we discover this to be true in seeking after the truth in God’s Holy Word. Many times we discover truth that seems to leap off the pages of God’s precious Word and illuminates our heart!

I cannot fathom how God’s people can function as His faithful saints without seeking Him faithfully. It does not require great intellect, simply being faithful to wait on the Lord by reading His Word.

Are you waiting faithfully for the Lord? If not, begin today to spend more time in the precious Word that brings both light and life to a dark and sin filled world. His Word will brighten your life, as well as the life of those around you!

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