JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE! – Psalm 23:4 Devotional

by | Sep 12, 2025 | Psalm

Listen to Today's Evotional

JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE!

Psalm 23:4 – Devotional

Psalm 23:4

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”

I walked close to my wife for 62 years before she went to be with the Lord in 2015. Even though she is no longer close to me, she is now experiencing a closer walk with our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.

Death often casts a huge shadow, but it should hold no fear for the child of God. In 2 Corinthians 5:8 the Apostle Paul reminds us that for the believer, “- – to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” Death is our doorway into eternity. How fantastic!

As we consider the words of today’s hymn we should make it our prayer request. It should be our desire to walk closer to the Lord than ever before. It should not be just a one time thing, but it should be our fervent desire to walk closer to Him with each and every passing day.

. . . . . . . .

Just A Closer Walk With Thee

I am weak, but Thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long; As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Refrain: Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Refrain: Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

When my feeble life is o’er, Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er, To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Refrain: Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

KEEP ON FIRE FOR THE LORD! – Revelation 3:10 Devotional

by | Sep 11, 2025 | Revelation

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

KEEP ON FIRE FOR THE LORD!

Revelation 3:10 – Devotional

Revelation 3:10

“Because you have kept My command to hold on, I will also keep you from the hour of trial which will come upon the whole world.”

From time to time I have received advertisements for a heated travel mug. They are advertised for those frosty mornings (or evenings) when you are forced to spend time behind the wheel of your car. You can just plug your cup into your cigarette lighter in order to keep your coffee, tea, or soup piping hot.

Keeping things nice and hot has long been a problem. This is true for beverages, but it is also true in other areas of humanity. My heart breaks when I am contacted by couples who have let the fervent flame of love flicker low- – and even die.

Love is always a choice. Actually it is more than a choice, it is a commitment. True love requires the giving of ourselves as our gift of love. As we do, we receive pleasure from the person who is the object of our love.

It is wrong for us to demand gratification rather than finding ways of giving it selflessly. Examine your spiritual love life. Has it become tepid? Plug into the outlet of God’s grace. Turn up the heat once again and sizzle for Jesus!

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

FINDING JOY IN LIFE! – Psalm 118:24 Devotional

by | Sep 10, 2025 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

FINDING JOY IN LIFE!

Psalm 118:24 – Devotional

Psalm 118:24

“This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and find joy in it.”

I recall my spiritual father, Doctor John Hall, relate a conversation he had with one of his patients. He asked Minnie how she was doing, she replied; “Pretty good, under the circumstances, but life is just so daily!”

I fear that many of us spend more of our time living under the circumstances of life rather than finding God’s eternal joy for us as we soar above the circumstances that we find confronting us each day. We may be surviving, but the Lord wants us to be thriving as we live for Him!

As in every situation that confronts us as we wake each day, we need to find the source of Joy in the Lord. We do that by reading and meditating on the Word of God. It is tragic how many people claim to hear from God, yet they are quick to confess that they seldom read the Bible. Beep!!! Wrong answer!

To find lasting joy in your life, make a covenant with the Lord that you will spend a certain amount of time in His Word each and every day. You may start with a few minutes daily, but I hope it will soon become hours! You will discover you have found true joy in your life!

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

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN! – Acts 4:12 Devotional

by | Sep 9, 2025 | Acts

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN!

Acts 4:12 – Devotional

Acts 4:12

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

It makes me cringe when I hear someone state that they have always been a Christian. Beeep!! That is so far from scripturally sound that it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

The sad thing is that many people fail to truly become believers because they have been taught that they have always believed in God. If someone has “always been a Christian,” then the Bible is false. God’s Word repeatedly tells us that we must experience a new birth in order to obtain salvation.

Nicodemus was a devout and knowledgeable teacher of the Jews. He knew all of the man-made requirements that seemingly would make a person right with God. Jesus shook his thinking when He told Nicodemus he had to be born again (John 3).

The question you need to pose for yourself is this: “Have I experienced the new birth?” If not, you need to open your heart, confess that you are a sinner, and ask Jesus to come in and make you His child. Have you done that?

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