DAY BY DAY! – Deuteronomy 33:25 Devotional

by | Aug 8, 2025 | Deuteronomy

DAY BY DAY!

Deuteronomy 33:25 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 33:25

“. . . as thy days, so shall thy strength be.”

DAY BY DAY — Lyrics by Lina Sandell

Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.

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

LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED! – Psalm 70:4 Devotional

by | Aug 7, 2025 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED!

Psalm 70:4 – Devotional

Psalm 70:4

“Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You: and let all who love Your salvation say continually, ‘Let God be magnified.’”

I am not blessed with a scientific mind, but I do a sliver of understanding that the qualities of glass, shaped, ground, and polished enable it to become a tool to view distant objects up close, or minute objects magnified dramatically.

The Word of God may be understood as God’s gift to us that allows us to view Him magnified more and more. If we fail to use His Divinely inspired Word to see Him magnified, we are left with limited sight.

Sometimes I reflect upon the precious work that biblical translators have done across the centuries of time. They have labored hour after hour in order for us to be able to view God’s Word for us in clarity and magnification.

I want to be one who takes advantage of the precious result of these faithful servants of the Lord who give us a clear view into the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!

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

OUR ETERNAL HOME! – 2 Corinthians 5:2 Devotional

by | Aug 6, 2025 | 2 Corinthians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR ETERNAL HOME!

2 Corinthians 5:2 – Devotional

2 Corinthians 5:2

“We groan earnestly as we strive to be clothed with our eternal home which is in heaven.”

I think it is safe to say that most of us have had close calls with death. Even those who are the most cautious about taking risks can remember a near miss. My past experience in law enforcement and the military at times brought me close to eternity. I have listened to stories of deep sea fishermen and pilots that made me wonder how they escaped death.

The apostle Paul was a tent-maker by trade. I can almost visualize his calloused fingers and hands. In today’s Scripture, Paul uses his profession as a tent-maker to illustrate a spiritual truth: This human body of ours is not going to survive. There are those who try to reverse the aging process in various ways, but nothing is going to keep us from coming to the end of our life and entering eternity.

It is sad that most of us spend too much time and effort on things that will pass away. By spending so much time on earthly things, we neglect the things that really count—those things that have eternal value. Receiving Christ as our personal Savior is vital to prepare for eternity. Spending time with God in prayer and reading His Word will prepare us for that heavenly home that will never pass away. Which home are you spending your time and effort to build?

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

SPIRITUAL FRUIT! – Galatians 5:22-23 Devotional

by | Aug 5, 2025 | Galatians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

SPIRITUAL FRUIT!

Galatians 5:22-23 – Devotional

Galatians 5:22-23

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

It is that special time of year when the fruit ripens on the trees—sweet, delicious, and ready to eat. It makes my mouth water just thinking of a perfectly ripe and juicy peach! I know, however, that in just a few short weeks the weather will turn bitterly cold and throughout the months of winter, the tree that now produces such tasty fruit will stand stark and bare, empty of its delicious produce.

God promises us a fruit of the Spirit that never passes away! The fruit that we read about in today’s Scripture is a fruit that meets the deepest needs of the human soul. It is fruit that produces life.

Years ago I was teaching a Sociology class at Boise State University. With about 120 indifferent students staring at me, I gave them their first assignment — to write the three things they desired most in their life. To be sure, there were a few ridiculous answers, but a wide majority listed the first three fruits of the Spirit: LOVE, JOY, PEACE.

People seek these attributes in many different ways, but the fruit that God promises will always produce a spirit that brings comfort.

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