WE WIN​​​​​​​!​​

1 Corinthians 15:56 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 15:56

“The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

People delight in being on the winning side. I have yet to hear anyone cheer when their team is losing. It is a cause for celebration when a person wins a position over the other applicants who have also applied for a certain job.

In this sin-sick world it may feel like believers are on the losing side. The forces of evil seem to become stronger and more violent with each passing day. It may even appear that God is not concerned when we encounter suffering and loss.

As we read today’s Scripture, we discover that we are on the winning side. It is not because of what we do, but what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us. It may be compared with relaxing in the stands while your team struggles on the field. When your team wins you stand and cheer, “WE WON!” You may have done nothing more strenuous than eat a bag of popcorn, but you share in your team’s victory.

As believers we have been assured of victory. It is not because of anything else we have done to merit the victory other than trusting in Jesus for salvation. Victory is ours! We win!

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

HAVE MERCY ON ME!​​ – Mark 10:47 Devotional

by | Nov 14, 2025 | Mark

Listen to "Have Mercy On Me"

HAVE MERCY ON ME!

Mark 10:47 – Devotional

Mark 10:47

“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

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

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has combined AI and Scripture to produce an original song entitled, “Have Mercy on Me!” based on the account of Jesus healing the blind man Bartimaeus. We trust you enjoy this musical inspiration today. Russ would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

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

HAVE MERCY ON ME!
(Inspired by Mark 10:46–52)

On the road from Jericho, the crowd was pressing in,
Voices all around me, yet my hope within.
I could not see Your face, but I knew You were near,
So I lifted up my voice for all to hear—

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
I’m calling out in faith; You’re all I need.
Though I once was blind, now I believe—
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

They told me to be silent, but I cried out even more,
For mercy’s what I’m longing for, that’s what I’m reaching toward.
Then I heard You calling, “What do you want from Me?”
“Lord, I want to see… I want to see.”

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
I’m calling out in faith; You’re all I need.
Though I once was blind, now I believe—
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Faith made me whole, You opened my eyes,
Now I’ll follow You, Lord, all my life.
Your mercy found me, grace set me free—
I’ll never stop singing, “Have mercy on me!”

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
You gave me sight, You gave me peace.
Now I walk in light, and forever I’ll sing—
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Have mercy on me!
Have mercy on me!
Have mercy on me!

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

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

A RIGHTEOUS PRAYER​​​​​​​!​​ – 1 Chronicles 4:10 Devotional

by | Nov 13, 2025 | 1 Chronicles

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A RIGHTEOUS PRAYER​​​​​​​!​​

1 Chronicles 4:10 – Devotional

1 Chronicles 4:10

“Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, ‘Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.’ And God granted his request.”

Working for the Lord has never been easy. When God enlarges our territory of service we need more and more of His strength. It is impossible to really do His work without His blessing and power.

Jabez asked the Lord to enlarge his territory. His prayer was not to be sent to some other territory, but that his sphere of influence would be multiplied. The Lord heard that sincere prayer and so will He hear our honest prayer.

It is not what we do for the Lord that makes the difference, but what the Lord does in and through us. John the Baptist was a powerful preacher of truth who called sinners to repent, but his real mission was to announce the arrival of Messiah!

Two thoughts I would like to share from my experiences: Never look at others as being insignificant. Let them know they are not alone. Realize that nothing is insignificant to the Lord. Charge into the task He has given you and allow Him to slay the giants that stand in the way of the work of the Lord.

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