OUR TRUE HOME​​!

John 15:4​ – Devotional

John 15:4​

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.“

The reality of homelessness has become a great issue in our modern world. In many cases people have been forced from the lives they once knew and been left to spend their time moving from shelter to shelter.

Because of devastating catastrophes thousands of people are now or in the future experience homelessness. It may be temporary, but it is possible that some may never be able to return to their homes.

For the true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we can visualize ourselves as being HOMELESS. That is certainly true when we pause to consider that our time in this world is temporary at best. How long we stay here is not as important as is the attitude we have toward our eternal home.

The promise that Jesus offers us here in today’s Scripture is that when we abide in Him, we are at home regardless of where that may be. I was at home when I was on a remote assignment in northern Newfoundland, Canada. I am also at home here in Tumwater, Washington. I just want to abide in Him until He calls me HOME!

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

GOD’S GIFT OF PEACE​​! John 14:25​ – Devotional

by | Feb 2, 2026 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S GIFT OF PEACE​​!

John 14:25​ – Devotional

John 14:25​

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.“

In 1938, prior to the outbreak of WWII, Lord Sir Neville Chamberlain returned from Germany with a peace compact that was signed by Adolph Hitler. He waved the document and proclaimed, “Peace in our time!” We now know how false that peace really was.

Even today there is a peace that is anything but peaceful. I am told that in the midst of major battles a cease fire is ordered in which both sides stop hostilities for a certain period of time. It may be temporarily quiet, but it is not TRUE PEACE.

Jesus promises His followers peace that is far different from anything the world can offer. It is peace in the midst of the storms of life. It is the peace that God gave to Stephen when he was being stoned to death (Acts 7:54-60). Other martyrs died with that same peace that can only be described as REAL PEACE.

Perhaps you feel like you are being tossed to and fro in the storms of life. It is time to anchor your life to the rock of our salvation and allow the Lord to give you His TRUE PEACE that will last and satisfy your soul.

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

EYES ON YOU! – Matthew 14:28-30 Devotional

by | Jan 30, 2026 | Matthew

EYES ON YOU!

Matthew 14:28-30 – Devotional

Eyes On You (inspired by Matthew 14:22-32) – download mp3

Matthew 14:28-30

“Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”

“Yes, come,” Jesus said.

So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.”

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

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has combined AI and Scripture to produce an original song entitled, “Eyes On You” with words inspired from Matthew 14:22-32. Russ would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

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

Eyes on You (inspired by Matthew 14:22-32)

[Verse 1]
The night was dark, the wind was wild
The waves were crashing all around
We strained against the oars in fear
When hope was nowhere to be found
Then through the storm a voice rang clear
Across the water, calm and true
“Take heart, it is I, don’t be afraid”
I fix my eyes on You

[Pre-Chorus]
If it’s really You, then call my name
Tell me where to place my feet

[Chorus]
I step out of the boat, onto the waves
I do the impossible when I walk by faith
As long as my eyes are fixed on You
But the moment I fear, I start to fall
Still You are there when I call
Jesus, help me keep my eyes on You

[Verse 2]
The water holds me by Your word
Each step a miracle unseen
But the wind grows loud, doubt creeps in
I look away at what I see
The storm reminds me of my weakness
My courage slips, my faith feels thin
The waves rise higher than my trust
And I begin to sink

[Pre-Chorus]
With a desperate cry I lift my voice
“Save me, Lord!”

[Chorus]
I stepped out of the boat, onto the waves
I did the impossible when I walked by faith
But when my eyes drifted from You
Fear pulled me down, I started to fall
Still You were there when I called
Jesus, help me keep my eyes on You

[Bridge]
Your hand reaches faster than my fall
Your mercy deeper than the sea
You lift me up, You pull me close
You never let go of me
Even when my faith is weak
Your faithfulness carries me

[Chorus – Final]
I’ll step out of the boat when You say “Come”
Trusting Your voice over every storm
Even if I falter, even if I fall
You are always there when I call
Jesus, help me keep my eyes on You
Jesus, help me keep my eyes on You

[Outro]
The wind grows still, the waves obey
Truly, You are God
I’ll walk by faith and not by sight
With my eyes on You

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

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