​PASTOR CECIL · CHOOSE TO BE THANKFUL​! 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Devotional

 

CHOOSE TO BE THANKFUL!​​

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Devotional

1 Thessalonians 5:18

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.“

Being thankful is not, or at least it should not be, a once-a-year thing. As members of God’s family we are to be thankful at all times. It is not our prerogative to choose when or what we will be thankful for.

In today’s Scripture, Paul admonishes the church at Thessalonica (as well as all of us) that we are to give thanks in everything. Do you frequently look as though you have been baptized in vinegar? That, my dear friend, is not being continually thankful.

Paul also encourages believers to pray continually. That brings us to another embarrassing question: How is your prayer life? Are you continually speaking to the Lord in prayer? It is a discipline that we need to pursue.

The last admonition in line with today’s theme is that the Lord expects us to thank Him in all circumstances. Chew on that while you are munching on your sumptuous dinner. What if you had little or nothing to eat? Would you still give thanks? That is exactly the Lord’s will in any and every circumstance. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

May God richly bless you by your words and actions!

​PASTOR CECIL · MUSTARD SEED FAITH! Matthew 17:19 – Devotional

MUSTARD SEED FAITH!​​

Matthew 17:19 – Devotional

Matthew 17:19

“If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.“

What is the most difficult thing you are facing in your life right now? What task or tribulation is so great you feel like it is ready to flatten you out? Who is looming over you ready to do you harm? What mountain threatens to collapse on you?

Faith is not measured by the bushel, but by the seed. Let me repeat that again: Faith is not measured by the bushel, but by the seed. All God asks of us is a tiny seed of faith, then He steps in to perform the miracle that is needed.

The Lord is eager to bless those who open their hearts to His blessing. We sometimes feel that the challenges we face are too great for God to handle. That is a lot of baloney! Nothing is impossible with God! Even the disciples of Jesus felt they were not up to the task of working miracles.

Before we are too critical of the disciples, what about the situations in our lives? Do we possess the mustard-seed size faith needed to turn our problems into the opportunities for God to bring His deliverance? Are we committed to trust in His strength and wisdom rather than trying to do things ourselves? By faith we can say: Lord I believe, please help my unbelief!

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

​PASTOR CECIL · FAITH DEFINED!​​ Hebrews 11:1 – Devotional

FAITH DEFINED!​​

Hebrews 11:1 – Devotional

Hebrews 11:1

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.“

Many times across the years I have asked individuals as well as groups to give their definition of faith. In many instances they have recited Hebrews 11:1. That is well and good, but when I pressed them to explain what that means to them on a personal level I was generally met with a blank stare.

The vital element of faith as given in this verse is evidence. Having spent many years in the field of criminal justice I quickly discovered that evidence is essential in order to substantiate the claims for or against the charges. In Hebrews 11:1 we find evidence that is yet to be seen or experienced. How can that be?

I liken that to making a trip to buy an ice cream cone. On the way we begin to think about our favorite flavor. Our salivary glands begin to kick into operation and we start to enjoy the ice cream before we ever arrive at the store.

In like manner we can spiritualize this same concept. Faith is stepping out and trusting God’s promises before they ever come to pass. He says it — we believe it, and that is faith in action!

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