Title: When last did you Visit Casualty?

-
Psalms 118:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
Devotion: Last week, a friend visited me at work, visibly shaken. As he entered my office, I asked him what was wrong. He shared that he had walked past the casualty room and witnessed patients suffering from various traumatic conditions, including strokes and heart attacks. While this was a routine sight for me, given my daily work, it had a profound impact on my friend.
 His response was striking: "I have a reason to praise God." I couldn't agree more. Often, it's only when we see the challenges others face that we appreciate the blessings in our own lives. Being alive and in good health is a gift that's easy to take for granted.
 This experience reminded me that there are countless reasons to praise God. With this in mind, I'd like to share a hymn that resonates with me - CAC Hymn 73, "Through All the Changing Scenes of Life."
LLOYD C.M 
I will bless the Lord at all times. - Ps. 34:1

1. Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still;
My heart and tongue employ.
2. Oh magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His name;
When in distress to Him I call'd;
He to my rescue came.
3. The hosts of God encamp around;
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all,
Who on His succour trust.
4. Oh make but trial of His love,
Experience will decide;
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
5. Fear Him, ye saints; and you will then,
Have nothing else to fear;
Make you His service your delight,
Your wants shall be His care.
Amen.
  Sing the song aloud, sing it with members of your family and worship God because he's your deliverer who saved you from the jaws of death.

Title : Keys

-
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6" Devotion : There are three main keys: way, truth, and life. Everyone is calling on God but there is a way to do it, Jesus Christ is that way. Many religious folks claim they have the truth to God but Jesus Christ is the truth. Many think life is all about the natural life but Jesus is the life beyond this present world. Choose Jesus and you would have these three most priceless keys in life.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
