LIVING IN CHRIST​!

John 14:20 – Devotional

John 14:20

“You will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.“

Are you seeking harmony in your life? Are things discordant and seemingly out of control? Do you start the day anticipating the chaos that will inevitably present itself before the day has ended?

Those of you who know me personally (my regular readers probably know me better than most people), know I try to provide hope and life in a dismal world.

In John 14:2 we find real hope for the believer: “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” Look it up and read it for a real lift for your soul.

Harmony is not the result of taking a course on organization, although that might benefit many of us. It is not in walking around with signs instructing you to “Don’t worry! Be happy!” Some grouch may lock you up for that.

Harmony is a recognition that there is an order to the universe which is not dependent upon the day-to-day circumstances. It is in being IN Christ Jesus. He confirms that He is in His Father. As we are in Him, He promises to be in us! That is the true essence of LIVING IN CHRIST!

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

MAGNIFIED SHADOWS!​ – Psalm 23:4 Devotional

by | Aug 1, 2023 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

MAGNIFIED SHADOWS!

Psalm 23:4 – Devotional

Psalm 23:4

“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and staff, they comfort me.“

Once I was about a block from my house and gliding along at about ten miles per hour when I noticed an eight-inch long shadow gliding along beside me on the pavement. It was then that I noticed a two-inch long insect flying next to the car. The sun was at just the right angle to magnify the shadow of the tiny insect.

When I replay that scene in my mind, I am reminded that shadows are always magnified and are larger than real life. The Psalmist reminds us that we travel through the valley of the shadow of death, not the valley of death.

What is the difference? The difference is that shadows are magnified. That means things we fear appear to be larger than life. Not only that, we have our Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who carries a rod and staff to rescue and protect us.

The next time you encounter the shadow of fear in your life, remember who is walking beside you. He knows how big the threat really is and He alone is able to shield and protect you.

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

SEEK GOD WHOLE-HEARTEDLY!​ – 1 Chronicles 22:19 Devotional

by | Jul 31, 2023 | 1 Chronicles

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

SEEK GOD WHOLE-HEARTEDLY!

1 Chronicles 22:19 – Devotional

1 Chronicles 22:19

“Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God.“

We either live our life half-heartedly, or with our whole heart, soul and strength. I have heard the expression used; “I would rather burn out for the Lord than rust out just sitting around doing nothing.”

I fear that far too many followers of Christ have assumed such a casual attitude in serving the Lord that they fail to make an impact on the sin-corrupted world in which we live.

It is past time when we need to stir the fading embers of our flame for the Lord and burn bright for Jesus! Just giving lip service is not enough. To make a difference for the Lord we must seek God whole-heartedly. Are we? Are you?

On this final day of July, make a new commitment to go all in for the Lord! Seek Him with your whole heart and soul. The time is short and what we do for the Lord must be done while there is still time!

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