MY STRENGTH AND SHIELD!

Psalm 28:7 – Devotional

Psalm 28:7

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my songs I praise Him.

When I think of examples of the seemingly weak overcoming the strong, I think of David’s battle with Goliath. A boy with nothing but a sling overcame a giant with a sword and shield.

The fact of the matter is that was not all that David possessed. David had spent time with the Lord in the fields with his flocks and had developed a close relationship with his Lord. It may have seemed that David faced his adversary with just a sling and a few stones, but the God of the universe was beside him!

As you go out into the world today and in all of your tomorrows, be sure you spend time in the presence of the Lord. I urge you to dedicate yourself to spend increasingly more time in prayer and Bible study. It will serve as your weapon against the enemy of our soul!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely only on your own understanding. In all your ways give Him the glory, and He will direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

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

​PASTOR CECIL · SEE YOU IN HEAVEN! Philippians 1:21 – Devotional

SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!

Philippians 1:21 – Devotional

Philippians 1:21

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

What is your attitude concerning our eternal home? I fear that all too many people live in a world of make-believe when it comes to making sure where they will spend eternity. It seems strange that people eagerly accept the idea of aliens from outer space, but scoff at the necessity of being born-again.

What a wonderful consolation it is for those of us who have repented and been born-again believers to know what is waiting for us. Heaven is a place and hell is also a place.

In order to arrive at the gates of hell it is not necessary to do anything. We are born in sin and that is our condemned condition unless we confess the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and invite Him into our heart.

When we stand beside the bedside of a loved one who is a believer, we can rest in the knowledge that there will be a great reunion when we all get to heaven. As we struggle through this vale of tears we can encourage those ready to meet the Lord with the words, “See you in heaven!” What wonderful comfort!

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

​PASTOR CECIL · JUST CONFESS! 1 John 1:9 – Devotional

JUST CONFESS!

1 John 1:9 – Devotional

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I often recall my days working as a County Juvenile Probation Officer. One of the judges I worked for was a wise old veteran of the early frontier days in a gold mining town.

He taught me to listen carefully to what people were saying and never believe that they always would tell the truth. In fact people generally will tell a lie even when it would be easier on them to tell the truth. That is part of our fallen nature.

As believers we often are tempted to disguise our sinful actions as slips, accidents or errors in judgment. Regardless of what we call our deviation from God’s perfect standard – – it is sin and we must confess our sin to get the victory.

I can recall times in my life when I tried to color my sin as being something else. I was always miserable until I confessed to God and then to those I had wronged. It was then I felt God’s peace that passes understanding and come to understand that God knows my heart better than I do and my sin is evident regardless of my denial. He wants us to JUST CONFESS AND LET HIM CLEANSE US!

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

​PASTOR CECIL · O WORSHIP THE KING​​​! 1 Chronicles 16:27​ – Devotional

O WORSHIP THE KING​​​!

1 Chronicles 16:27​ – Devotional

1 Chronicles 16:27

“Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his dwelling place.”

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

May this O WORSHIP THE KING video devotional speak to your heart today.

Here are the lyrics:

O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing God’s power and God’s love;
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

O tell of God’s might, O sing of God’s grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is God’s path on the wings of the storm.

The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, thy power hath founded of old;
hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

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

​PASTOR CECIL · A NEW PEOPLE! Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

A NEW PEOPLE!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

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

It is quite depressing to wake up each morning and be struck with the reality that we live in the midst of a sinful and unrighteous day and age. The writer of Proverbs states without equivocation that a nation is exalted when it is characterized by righteousness. That virtue is hardly to be found these days!

The writer also states that sin is a reproach to any people. The word reproach as used in this verse in the Hebrew word chesed, which in this context means a wicked thing. That is certainly an apt description of the effect sin has on our society.

What should be our response to the sinful condition of our world? We find the answer in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Many revivals in the past have been started by a few believers who were willing to humble themselves and pray until they touched the hem of His garment. It is time to evaluate our commitment to obey God.

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