Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-12

(Psa 69:34 NKJV)  Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.

Do we ever take a day and just spend it to ponder on the goodness of God?

Nowadays it’s almost impossible to do such a thing. It is so busy. Running here and there …trying to get things done. We have television, cell phones and computers to distract us. Do we ever have a moment to ourselves, let alone time for God?

Today is a good day to start saying no! No to TV, no to the cell phone and no to the computer, etc. Not today… I have an appointment at such and such a time with the Almighty God!! He deserves our time and our praises!

Take time today…He’s waiting.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-12

(James 4:14 NKJV) whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

I don’t want to scare anyone but I do want to address the fact that Life is precious. Jesus Christ has made a way for us to live happy, good and FREE… let us not take it for granted, not for one second. No matter what we have or don’t have material wise, He has given us something GREATER than any of that.

I remember as a child, one Christmas time things weren’t going so good for my parents and, as children, we knew when Christmas morning came there wouldn’t be much for gifts. But I remember getting up that morning and there were just a few little wrapped items under the tree and my brothers and sisters and I ran and opened them up.

We were so happy. Not because of the presents… there were few, but there was something special about being together as a family. It was more than any present bought from a store could ever bring; there was love in our home.

Let us not take today for granted. Share the love of Christ throughout your day today.

We have good working arms; give someone a hug like we mean it. We have a smile; share it with someone. Encourage someone with kind words. Be patient and listen when someone is talking and let God’s love shine through you.

This is powerful!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-12

(John 4:24 NKJV)  “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

God is Spirit. He is not flesh and bone. He does not operate under fleshly principles and He is not limited to doing things in a way that our minds can comprehend or make sense of.

If we keep this in mind and truly grasp the fact that He is not bound by or limited by our understanding, we will also begin to realize that our relationship with Him is not based on intellect.

There is a large part of the bride of Christ that is so caught up in studying and trying to fully comprehend His word and His ways, that they miss God when it comes to spiritual things.

We are definitely told to study the scripture and know what it says, but we are not to limit our understanding of God or our relationship with God to what we can comprehend or understand.

God is way too big for us to ever fully understand, and it is here that we are to rely on faith and take Him at His word, even if we don’t always fully understand it.

Let God open your spiritual eyes and see Him in His truth, and don’t fret if you can’t always understand everything with your natural mind.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-12

(James 1:2-3 NKJV)  My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, {3} knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

If we are in a trial today count it all joy. It may not seem or feel very joyful but God’s word tells us that our faith is being tested and it will produce patience in us.

This is a good thing because what happens to those who wait upon the Lord? (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV)  But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

You see, it’s in times like this that our faith gets tested and brings us to our knees to pull on God even more. It’s in these times when we see God at work, and it builds our faith each time He delivers us out of our situation. It teaches us patience as we  trust in Him.

Even in trials God will bring forth good!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-12

(Heb 6:15 NKJV)  And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Abraham waited patiently for God’s promise. It wasn’t easy for him, but he did it. And he obtained the promise.

It isn’t always easy for us to wait, but sometimes this is just what we need to do… wait.

Waiting is probably one of the hardest things for us to do as humans, but if you really look at it, waiting patiently is a sign of our faith and trust in God.

If we get impatient and start taking matters into our own hands, we’ll probably get ourselves into trouble.

So if you’re in “waiting mode” right now, let God stretch your faith so that you can wait on Him and you can obtain His promise for you.
