TURN UP YOUR LIGHT! – Matthew 5:14 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

TURN UP YOUR LIGHT!

Matthew 5:14 – Devotional

Matthew 5:14

You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.

I have several flashlights that have three settings; off (no light), on (normal light), bright (brightest setting). Our cars also have headlights with settings for bright or dim illumination.

In a similar fashion our lives project an illumination. I am sure that all of us have encountered people who brighten the room with their presence and those who seem to dim the light by their countenance. Which are you?

That is a personal question and one that we should take seriously. We often deceive ourselves into thinking that others see us as a bright shining sky when they actuality they observe thunder clouds. Oops!

As Christians we need to be the most radiant examples of Jesus burning brightly in our dark world. Consider the words of Matthew 5:16; “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” TURN UP YOUR LIGHT!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing.

GOD IS WITH US! – Matthew 1:23 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD IS WITH US​!

Matthew 1:23 – Devotional

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Sometimes it seems we are the only one standing firm for the Lord. All around us there is sin and debauchery. At times like these we are confronted with two choices. Either go with the flow and violate our sacred standards, or walk alone and risk being labeled a fanatic.

I have often found myself being the only spiritual “freak” in the midst of godless associates. It is during these moments when I most need the strength of the Lord. It is then that I relish the concept of Emmanuel. I am assured that regardless of the trial or test I face, I am never alone – – God is with me!

You may be facing a situation in your life that is causing you stress and anxiety. Remember that we are told to roll all of our cares upon Him for He cares for us. Not only does the Lord care for us, but He alone has the power to fight our battles for us.

As you go into the world this day, remember you are not alone. It may seem that you are out-numbered and over-powered, but be assured that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. With God with us – we win!

Blessings dear hearts! God is with us today so let us be a blessing!
