GOD CARES! – Psalm 53:2 Devotional

GOD CARES​!

Psalm 53:2 – Devotional

Psalm 53:2

“- – the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open to hear their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

One of my grade school teachers seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. Not that I was a problem of course, (cough, cough), but every time I did something I was not suppose to do (that was frequently), she saw me. I lived in constant fear of her!

Unfortunately, we tend to have that same attitude toward God. We picture Him as always watching out of the portals of heaven in order to catch us when we do something that is wrong. That is an incorrect understanding of God.

In today’s scripture we see that God is always watching. It is not so much that He is trying to catch us in our sin, but rather He desires to discover those who have a spiritual understanding of God and who are actively seeking to find Him in all of His glory.

When God watches you does He see a person who is actively seeking to do His will or their own will? It should be our heart’s desire to understand more about the nature of God each day. The Father gives us the Word – the Son gives us the Way – the Spirit gives us the Witness. We only have to become aware!

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

A CLEAN HEART! – Psalm 51:10 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A CLEAN HEART​!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Many years ago I attended an Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts, held in Seattle. At the last session each attendee was given a small button with the letters; PBPGINFWMY. It stood for; PLEASE BE PATIENT, GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET! I liked it then and I like it now.

Sometimes spiritual leaders give the impression that they are so holy, that they dine with the angels. The truth of the matter is that we simply like angel food cake, we don’t dine with them. None of us are perfect and I think spiritual leaders need to be more open in sharing our failures. We need times of humiliation to be mind joggers that we are still under construction. I think it is safe to say that we will always be under construction.

I heard an evangelist years ago, tell of a woman who approached him after a service and mentioned that she thought he was very mature. He rushed home and looked up the word mature, so he would be better able to enjoy its depth of meaning. To his dismay, the definition said; “ripe and getting rotten.” Ooops!

Never stop the construction process. In doing God’s work there is no such thing as retirement. Keep a clean heart and keep doing the work of the Lord. God is still at work and will continue as long as we maintain a clean and steadfast spirit!

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

A FAITHFUL PROMISE! – Psalm 51:10 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

A FAITHFUL PROMISE​!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Have you ever wondered who you can rely upon to do what they have promised to do? Let me ask another, more-penetrating question. Have you ever made a commitment to pray for someone and after days, weeks, or even months, later realize that you have failed to follow through? You have betrayed your trust, my friend!

It is a serious thing to fail to fulfill your promise to those around you, but what about the promises you have made to the Lord but that you have failed to keep? I must confess that there have been times I have had to hang my head in shame for not doing as I promised. I have had to ask the Lord to forgive my failure.

It is easy to see the faults of others while at the same time ignoring my own shortcomings. It is very evident that more easily we find fault in others the easier it is to ignore our own failures. May God forgive us!

There have been many times that people have disappointed me by saying one thing and then doing another. It hurt and made me feel betrayed. I want to make a new commitment not be guilty of the same failure. I commit to take my prayer burdens to the foot of the cross and entrust them to the Lord.

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

GODLY DELIGHT! – Psalm 1:1-2 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GODLY DELIGHT!

Psalm 1:1-2 – Devotional

Psalm 1:1-2

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.

Delight is a delightful word. I can’t believe I wrote that! Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it: a strong feeling of happiness: great pleasure or satisfaction. That is the same definition David intended when he penned the words of this Psalm.

What brings delight into your life? What are the things that pleasure you? If we are honest with ourselves I think most of us would have to confess that it is the earthly things that pleasure us; things we can touch taste or feel.

If you will read today’s Scripture once again, you’ll see that David emphasizes that we are to delight in the law of the Lord. By that he implies in the Word of God. In taking delight in the Word of God, a person needs to meditate on it day and night.

I have observed that meditate comes from the root word that pictures a cow chewing the cud. Swallowing and then bringing up into the mind once again until it becomes a part of us. Where do you find your delight?

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