Bible Verse of The Day – 11-4-14

Matthew 19:6 (NKJV) “So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Marriage is an incredible gift from God. Sadly, it has become devalued in today’s society.

As followers of Christ, we don’t have to fall into the traps of the enemy, destroying what God has joined together.

Making a marriage last takes hard work on both sides. But it can be done!

Are you in a troubled marriage? Have you cheated on your spouse? Have you mistreated them?

Have you given up hope because your spouse mistreated you?

Regardless of what you’ve been through, this doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship. There is hope and there is help for you. You can make it work and have victory in your situation.

Start by forgiving each other. Make a decision to do whatever it takes to work things out and don’t quit. Don’t give up.

And instead of dwelling on what the other person did wrong to you, stop and ask God what He wants you to change in yourself. If both people in a troubled relationship would do this, and then take it seriously enough to take action to fix the problems, not a single relationship would end up broken.

We know it’s not easy, so don’t think we’re saying that it is. But we’ve seen God work some miracles in cases where both people were willing to admit that they had faults and then work through the problems in front of them.

So don’t give up hope. Trust God. Let Him lead you. If we could all just let God lead us, how much better would our lives be?

It’s never too late to start.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-3-14

Matthew 7:1 (NKJV) 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

Being careful not to judge is a daily, minute by minute decision that we must work hard at doing every day.

Judging others can cause more harm than good, because we don’t know how to judge with righteous judgement. ONLY God can do this. We, as God’s children, have to understand this more than anyone.

As we walk this walk with Christ, the closer we get to Him, the more humble we should become; Not puffed up, not arrogant and definitely not untouchable.

Remember the woman at the well, in John 4:18? She’d had 5 husbands in her life. Jesus sat with her and talked one-on-one with her.

The woman that had a bleeding issue for twelve years, in Matthew 9:20, actually touched His garment, and He stopped and spoke to her in that moment of need, and brought healing to her.

We all need Jesus, and He is there for us, no matter what we have done. He is reachable!!

People need to be able to come to us and talk to us. And we in return should not be judging them in their situation. We are no better.

We might have been convicted in those areas and we may have changed or turned away from doing those things, but we should not push our convictions on anyone else.

Trying to force someone to see things the way we see them is not our job as God’s children. It’s different if we are asked for our opinion. Then we can share. But even in that, we should never push it on them.

We are called to love, not judge. Letting God do His job, and us doing ours, will make this world a better place. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-1-14

John 16:15(NKJV) 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

This verse is very powerful in the fact that Jesus gives to us what is HIS.

He gave His life, which is more than enough, but He doesn’t stop there. He graciously gives all things that are His. And He gives them to us!

We don’t deserve any of it; not a single bit of it. No matter how good we have been, we don’t deserve it. But yet He still gives to us, from His heart, all that is His.

When we approach Him in our prayers each day, may our hearts be like His, and may we give to Him all of us, all that we are.

Some of us may say “I have nothing to offer this great Messiah. All I can give Him is Myself.”

He’ll take it! That’s all He wants; our hearts.
