WHAT I CANNOT SEE! – Psalm 115:5 Devotional

WHAT I CANNOT SEE!

Psalm 115:5 – Devotional

Psalm 115:5

“They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see.”

Recently I observed a driver making a right turn at an intersection. The traffic light was red for him and he was permitted to make a right turn, but only after coming to a complete stop and insuring that no on-coming traffic was approaching.

I was in an inside lane and watched as he narrowly missed the car having the right-of-way. It was then I noticed that he seemingly averted his eyes from the car he had cut in front of—as if by not looking at the other driver, his action was okay.

We once had a small dog named Perky. Perky loved to come to the table at meal time. He knew he was not supposed to, so he would turn his head away from the table as he drew near. Perky thought if he could not see us we could not see him.

Sometimes I think we treat God the same way. We fail to focus our attention on Him and thus feel that He cannot see us. That is totally false thinking. God knows us better than we will ever know ourselves, yet He still loves us enough to die on the cross for us. May God forgive us our blind eyes and allow us to see the reality of His love for us.

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

DRIFTING AWAY! – 1 Timothy 6:10 Devotional

by | May 25, 2026 | 1 Timothy

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

DRIFTING AWAY!

1 Timothy 6:10 – Devotional

1 Timothy 6:10

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, which has caused some to stray from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

Many years ago my dad and I were fishing on a small lake in Idaho. We had been contentedly trolling along in his boat when we heard a sputter … and then silence. We suddenly found ourselves adrift in the middle of the lake and not a soul in sight. We drifted for more than an hour before we hailed a passing boat whose owner graciously offered to tow us to shore.

I have often heard people mention that the Bible teaches that money is the root of all evil. That is not what it says. It says that the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil. The sins of the eyes, the sins of the flesh, and the pride of life are pretty inclusive. Getting our eyes off the Savior and on the flash and glitter of worldly things is usually gradual, but lethal.

I pray that each of us will make sure that we do not find ourselves drifting away from the things of eternal importance. The things of this world will only satisfy for a season, but the things of God have eternal value. Don’t drift away!

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

LAZARUS, COME OUT! – Music Devotional

by | May 22, 2026 | John

LAZARUS, COME OUT!

Music Devotional

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has created a new song entitled, “Lazarus, Come Out!” He would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lazarus Come Out! (inspired by John 11:1-44)

[Verse 1]
Mary’s crying in the doorway
Martha’s barely holding on
Four long days inside the graveyard
Now all hope already gone
Friends are whispering, “If He loved him
Why’d He wait so long to come?”
But Jesus walked into the sorrow
Knowing death would soon be done

[Pre-Chorus]
Tears fell down from Heaven’s eyes
Standing where His friend had died

[Chorus]
“Lazarus, come out!”
Hear the tomb shaking now
Chains of death are breaking down
When the Living Word speaks out
“I AM the resurrection and the life”
The stone is rolled away
Anyone believing in His name
Will live again, will rise again

[Verse 2]
Martha said, “Lord, I still trust You
Even now God hears Your prayer”
Jesus answered with a promise
Strong enough for all despair
“I AM the resurrection
And the life for all who believe
Even after death has claimed them
Still they live eternally”

[Pre-Chorus]
“Do you believe this?” Jesus said
Hope was rising from the dead

[Chorus]
“Lazarus, come out!”
Hear the darkness giving ground
Buried dreams are waking now
When the Savior calls them out
“I AM the resurrection and the life”
No grave can hold eternal light
Everyone who lives in Me by faith
Will never die, no never die

[Bridge]
Wrapped in grave clothes, stepping free
A living sign for all to see
The tomb could not keep death’s demand
When resurrection took His stand

And one day every sealed-up grave
Will hear the voice that darkness obeys
The King who stood in Bethany
Still calls the dead to life today

[Breakdown]
Roll the stone away
Let the people see
What impossible looks like
When God speaks victory

[Final Chorus]
“Lazarus, come out!”
Let the church cry it aloud
Jesus Christ has conquered now
Every fear beneath the ground
“I AM the resurrection and the life”
Forevermore the grave denied
Anyone believing in the Son
Will live forever, death is done

[Outro]
The tomb was full of silence
Till Mercy called his name
And everything changed
When Jesus came

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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