O COME, O COME EMMANUEL!​ – Isaiah 7:14​ Devotional

by | Nov 17, 2023 | Isaiah

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

O COME, O COME EMMANUEL!

Isaiah 7:14​ – Devotional

Isaiah 7:14​

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Emmanuel.“

The name Emmanuel is interpreted “God with us.” There are many Old Testament prophecies of the coming Messiah. The encouragement that His coming entails is that God Himself will descend and make His appearance to save the people from their sins. Thank God He has come!

The “Day-Spring” referenced in the third stanza below is an encouragement for us as we travel through the long and dark times of our life. I am overjoyed that God has cared so much for us that He has sent salvation to us by grace through faith!

O COME, O COME EMMANUEL!

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height,
In ancient times did’st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

THORNS IN THE FLESH!​ – 2 Corinthians 12:7b Devotional

by | Nov 16, 2023 | 2 Corinthians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THORNS IN THE FLESH!

2 Corinthians 12:7b – Devotional

2 Corinthians 12:7b

“There was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.“

We sometimes rush to the aid of a loved one or friend who is experiencing some type of pain in their life. The problem is that God may be allowing that individual (or ourselves), to endure discomfort or hardship in order to bring about His glory in the midst of their pain.

In today’s Scripture, the apostle Paul shares that he was given a thorn in the flesh. Many have tried to guess what that thorn was, but if it was important, Paul would have told us. In not naming the thorn, we are better able to relate to the thorn that we may have in our own life

Paul learned the secret of the thorn so he could see that the Lord’s strength and power was made perfect in weakness. We may strive to be perfect and have it all put together, but remember the secret of the thorn. It is in our weakness that the Lord’s strength is more and most clearly demonstrated. Paul was so excited about this discovery that he delighted in his weaknesses, insults, and hardships, so Christ could be seen most clearly.

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

WALK WITH THE LORD!​ – Colossians 2:6 Devotional

by | Nov 15, 2023 | Colossians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

WALK WITH THE LORD!

Colossians 2:6 – Devotional

Colossians 2:6

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him.“

God’s plan for us following our salvation is to be more like Him in our behavior. We are to live and behave by God’s grace and our faith by believing and receiving His provision of eternal salvation. We are saved by trusting in Him alone.

When we place our trust in the completed work of Jesus Christ we begin our walk as new believers. It is at this point that much confusion exists. All too often we are led to believe that we are kept by our works. We can no more be kept by our good works than we can be saved by our good works.

Notice in today’s Scripture that Paul writes that just as we received Jesus Christ, we are to walk with Him by grace and through faith. In order to be strong and productive believers we need to live in victory. We do that be constantly walking by faith as God’s own dear children.

As adoptive children of the God of the universe we have received a new name and a new identity. There is nothing we can do that will keep us saved any more than we could do anything to deserve it in the first place. We simply walk with assurance as His dear children.

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