GOD UNDERSTANDS THIS TIME! – Luke 12:56 Devotional

GOD UNDERSTANDS THIS TIME!

Luke 12:56 – Devotional

Luke 12:56

“You hypocrites, you can comprehend the face of the sky and of the earth;
but how is it that you do not understand this time?”

In a world that seems consumed with knowing everything about everything, it seems that we find more questions than answers. We may be able to accurately know the time and extent of a solar eclipse, but we have little comprehension of what will happen in the next few minutes of our life.

This is why it is so vital for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, to find comfort and peace in times of chaos and turmoil. We may not be able to know what will happen in our future, but we know the ONE who does!

As we set out to live this day that the Lord has given us, we will have numerous opportunities to demonstrate our faith in Christ as our Lord. As we do, let us find comfort in serving a Lord that understands this time and all time!

Who will you chose to trust this day? Will it be you, who has no comprehension of what will happen in the next few minutes, or the Lord who knows each fraction of a second of eternity? I place my trust in God!

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

RUN TO WIN! – 1 Corinthians 9:24 Devotional

by | Sep 1, 2026 | 1 Corinthians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

RUN TO WIN!

1 Corinthians 9:24 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 9:24

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize?
Run in such a way that you may obtain it.”

There are many types of races: Car races, horse races, foot races, just to name a few. It is interesting that in many races one competitor may lead throughout the race and victory is almost assured … but then comes the finish line!

It is not uncommon for one driver to lead almost all the way only to experience the heartbreak of an accident near the end lap and lose the race. The one who leads for most of the race is not declared the winner, but the one who crosses the finish line first.

I have watched foot races where the competitors have Down syndrome. These precious jewels run with such joy and excitement. Many times they are just as excited about someone else winning as themselves.

When they cross the finish line each one is awarded a prize. I somehow think that is what Paul wants us to understand. Every person in the world is entered in the race, but only those who have Christ in their heart will receive the prize. At the end of our race, the Lord will meet us and reward us for running for Him.

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

FOOLISH TRADITIONS! – Mark 7:8 Devotional

by | Aug 31, 2026 | Mark

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

FOOLISH TRADITIONS!

Mark 7:8 – Devotional

Mark 7:8​

“For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, such as the washing of pots and cups, and many other such things you do.”

I once heard about a pastor that came to a new church with great expectation. Before long, however, it was clear that the people were not accepting him. A committee was even formed to deal with his incompetence.

Before the committee was scheduled to meet, the pastor asked the janitor of the church if he knew why the people were so upset with him. The janitor was reluctant to say anything, but finally told him it was because of the way he administered the Lord’s Supper — he neglected to touch the radiator before serving.

The young pastor called the former pastor, who roared with laughter and told him that it was all a silly misunderstanding. A few years earlier they had installed new carpeting and it created static electricity that snapped when people were served. In order to prevent this, he would touch the radiator first to get rid of the electricity.

What had been started as a simple act of convenience had taken on spiritual significance. Frequently the enemy of truth is tradition. This is why it is vital to spend time in the bible to discover God’s truth rather than man’s tradition.

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
