Bible Verse of The Day – 11-5-12

(Phil 2:14 NKJV)  Do all things without complaining and disputing…

Are you a grumbler or a complainer? I know I used to be. I would grumble about lots of little things!

And then God got ahold of me. He showed me that my grumbling was affecting my outlook on life. It was also a terrible witness to those around me.

My personality made it very easy for me to fall into the trap of grumbling because I like everything to be just so. But God had to teach me to lighten up and find the good in things, not just what was wrong.

I am still a work in progress and I need to be reminded sometimes to watch what I think and what I say, but it sure is better not to always be looking at the wrong and not seeing the right!

Watch yourself today. Let God show you if you’re being a grumbler or if you’re ungrateful for what you have. You’ll be surprised at how many times you catch yourself complaining about even the littlest things, instead of being thankful.

God wants us to be His light and we can’t be a light if we’re full of negativity!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-3-12

(John 13:23 NKJV)  Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

Could you just imagine laying your head on Jesus’ bosom?

When I was a child I would often sit on the couch and lay my head on my mom or dads chest. Sometimes I would just listen to the beat of their heart; it was so fascinating to me as a child to hear it beat.

Now that I am older, I lay my head on my husband’s chest and listen to his heart beat. It is an amazing thing and I still get fascinated by it.

One morning, as I was praying, I remembered this verse and I thought to myself that disciple that had his head on Jesus’ chest could have actually heard the heart beat of the Messiah if he wanted to. That’s how close he was; the heartbeat of God in the flesh! He was that close to Him. What an awesome relationship to be that close to His heart.

I prayed that morning, as I was pondering on this scripture, how I want my relationship with the Messiah to be that close. I may not be able to hear His heartbeat from laying my head on His chest. But, I want to know the sound of His heart by reading His Word and meditating on it day and night.

God’s heart is revealed through His Words

Let us all know the heart of God today, for our family, for our children, for our world and let us pray.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-2-12

(Rev 22:20 NKJV)  He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Of the entire Bible, this verse intrigues me more than any other verse.

There is something about it that keeps echoing inside my spirit. For years this has stuck with me, especially the final line, “Even so, come Lord Jesus!”

This is such an impactful statement of finality… Come, Lord Jesus. Everything is completed, the world is yours, come now and possess what is rightfully yours; what you died for.

These words stir me inside like no others.

Let God speak to you today and stir you inside with His words. Let Him breathe new life into your weary soul. Let Him encourage you and lift you up.

He is your God and you are His child.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-1-12

(3 John 1:2 NKJV)  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

We just wanted you all to know how much you bless us.

Each night as we sit and prepare the Bible Verse of The Day to go out to thousands of people all across this world, we think of the one. The one that is hurting, the one that is lonely, the one that may be suffering in any way, the one that is struggling to know and feel God’s love.

It is only by the Spirit of God that each need is met and each heart is touched. We get letters and emails from all over… of how God touched that ONE; How He is changing their lives, changing their hearts, healing their bodies, and opening doors for huge opportunities!  It is God!

He loves you, and He wants you to prosper in ALL things!
