GOD’S LOVING EYE​! Psalm 32:8 – Devotional

by | Jan 8, 2026 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S LOVING EYE!

Psalm 32:8 – Devotional

Psalm 32:8

“I will counsel you with My loving eye on you.“

Just because a person lacks their eyesight does not mean they are blind — they are just not able to use their eyes. That may sound strange, but sometimes a visually impaired person develops keen senses through touch and sound that makes them very aware of what is going on around them. Discernment does not rely on one particular sense we may or may not possess. It is true that people with 20/20 eyesight may be “blind” to things that are going on around them.

I recall a couple that operated a spiritual retreat center in the beautiful hills of Idaho. I had listened to the wife welcome guests and explain the amenities several times before, so this time I just sat at the rear of the room and observed.

It was then that I noticed her husband. He was also sitting near me in the rear of the room, but he was communicating with his wife with his eyes and by slight nods or shakes of his head.

After the welcome session I spoke with the couple and discovered that the husband was so shy he could not speak to a group. The wife on the other hand, depended on the husband’s subtle cues to insure she was presenting things properly. What a team! We all need to be aware of the cues the Lord sends our way.

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

UNHOLY GOSSIP​!​​ – Proverbs 18:8 Devotional

by | Jan 7, 2026 | Proverbs

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

UNHOLY GOSSIP!

Proverbs 18:8 – Devotional

Proverbs 18:8

“The words of a gossip are like tasty treats, and go down into the inner body.“

Three ministers were fishing, but having no luck. To break the monotony one of them suggested that they might feel better if they secretly confessed their greatest sin to be held in strict confidence. The first minister confessed that his secret sin was alcohol consumption. The second confessed that he was a secret gambler. The third remained quiet until the first two pressured him to confess. He finally blurted out, “I am a gossip and I can hardly wait to get back to shore!”

In almost every segment of society there is the problem of gossip…and contrary to the old stereotype it is not just women either. If you doubt it, just listen in at a men’s morning coffee klatch and you will discover the truth that men are gossips.

I wish that gossip was not to be found in our church circles but, sad to say, that is not the case. Gossips in the church sometimes feel they are being protectors of holiness, when in fact they erode the foundation of trust and confidence.

What damage are your words causing? Are you building up the body of Christ by the things you share with others? Are you committed to always give a good report about others? Speak the good openly and pray for the sinful silently. Give no cause for the enemy to use our tongues to do his work.

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

LIVING IN CHRIST​!​​ – John 14:20 Devotional

by | Jan 6, 2026 | John

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

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 | Jan 5, 2026 | 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!
