Bible Verse of The Day – 10-30-21

Matthew 12:50 (NKJV) 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

How do we do the will of God?

By giving our all to follow His word in believing that His Son, Jesus Christ, is Who He says He is; The Messiah, the Christ, our Savior, God in the flesh.

He takes those in like family who believe in Him and trust Him.

We are His brother, sister, and even His mother.

This applies only to only those who enter in through the right door; the door that is open for every person who wants to believe. This door is open to every person that wants to give up their life and serve Him with all their heart.

In order to be in His family, we need to believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We need to repent and let Him change us, by renewing our minds and softening our hearts. We need to let Him have complete control over our life, doing all that He has for us to do.

Let us be open and honest about everything. We are family. We can talk to Him. He will understand and listen and bring correction and encouragement where needed.

Revelation 3:19 (NKJV) 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-29-21

1 Corinthians 13:11 (NKJV) 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

There is something very important implied here for all believers to pay close attention to.

That something is our growth and maturity in Christ.

When we first put our faith in Christ, we are mere children in our relationship with Him.

But as time goes by, we need to make sure that we’re doing our part to mature and grow.

Everyone grows at different rates. This is a given. The important thing is that we do grow!

Thankfully, God is patient, and He gives us grace as we learn to crawl, then move on to walking and, ultimately, running.

Some of us might get stuck at crawling. There are usually a couple of reasons for this.

1. A lack of time and effort put into it on our part.

2. A lack of understanding.

There is a solution for both of these. Let’s take a look.

For the first problem, we need to be sure we’re disciplined enough to set aside the time needed to build and grow our relationship with God. It’s critical to growth as a believer.

If we’re not doing this, many times it’s because we haven’t taken the relationship seriously enough. The cure for that is to grasp and understand what Christ did for us on the cross, literally taking our place, dying as a substitute for you and for me.

To fix the lack of understanding, there are usually two different issues we need to look at.

The first would be making sure that we’re spending the time needed in God’s word to get that understanding. And if we’re having trouble understanding what we’re reading, it’s a great idea to get some help from someone who can help us understand it better.

Lastly, if we are already learning from someone else, but we’re still having difficulty, we may need to sit under a different teacher or organization in order to get taught in a way that helps us. This can sometimes make a major difference in how well we learn!

So, remember that we need to be growing as believers. But remember, also, that we are not on our own as we do learn and grow.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-28-21

Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

We will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon us.

Are we walking in the power of the Holy Spirit today? Or are we trying to walk in our own fleshly understanding?

It’s important for us to understand that it is impossible to touch people’s hearts and to do the will of God without His empowering Spirit. Impossible.

When we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit we will accomplish much.

We will be prompted, convicted and prayerful at times to help people and situations.

The Holy Spirit knows what to say at any given time and He will not shy away from things that need to be said, unlike our natural man.

Our minds and our will may fight us at times if we have to say or do something that makes us uncomfortable or causes others to look at us differently.

When we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, we can’t be worrying about our reputation. We have to develop a heart and mindset that doesn’t hold our reputation up higher than our obedience to God.

He will lead us through the Holy Spirit, our Helper, as we submit to Him

If we walk without listening to His Spirit, we will fail many times. And we will not be good witnesses for Him.

We must follow our Master. We are not our own boss. We are servants, and very much accountable to Him.

John 13:16 (NKJV) 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.

Let the Holy Spirit empower us to make the necessary changes within ourselves, so that we can be servants to Him and a great witness to all the world.  Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-21

Proverbs 19:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel – that will stand.

Have you ever looked back at your life and wished that you had listened to counsel or instruction given by someone who knew better than you did about something?

I know I do. And I’m sure we all do from time to time.

Wisdom comes by way of those who pass it down to us, as well as being gained through life’s experiences.

The easiest way, by far, to gain insight and understanding, is by way of those around us who have walked through things that have taught them valuable lessons, and are willing to pass it along to us.

What’s cool is that this can be from people we know personally, or it can be through the words penned in scripture, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The wisdom to be gleaned in either of these two ways is invaluable, and it can literally change our lives if we heed and follow those words.

The book of Proverbs is rich with insights, wisdom and understanding that’s in little bite-sized pieces that are easy to digest and understand. So, we encourage you to take those beautiful nuggets and gobble them up like candy!

As we digest them, God will increase our understanding, and the path of our life will be forever altered.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-26-21

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Are we having to start over today?

Maybe we lost everything we had. Maybe we got let go on our job. Or maybe our spouse left us or they passed away.

It can make us feel empty, hopeless and scared. But, we have learned that God can bring good things out of the hardest of times.

Starting over doesn’t have to be scary when we have a God who knows us better then we could ever comprehend.

He’s the One that loves us and cares for us; a God that knows our future. And if we let Him, He will make sure it goes the way it needs to.

In the midst of loss we can sometimes forget how marvelous our Father is toward us all.

Wait on God’s directions.

The first thing we have to do is learn to listen and see with our hearts, as led by God’s spirit. Our fleshly desires will fight us. But if we stand firm against them, and wait on God, He will give us the desires of our heart.

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

The next step we have to take is to adjust our attitude and the way we think, knowing and trusting that God will lead us if we give Him the lead.

Many times, if things aren’t happening quickly enough, we will try to take back the lead.

God will let us have it back. But we are in danger of being on our own at that point.

He will always help us, no matter how far off the path we go, if we realize it and ask Him for His help. The best thing to do is stay the course.

The most important thing to do is guard our attitude about where we are, even if we are at the beginning stages and we haven’t yet seen any changes.

Stay strong. God will come through.

The desires of our heart will come again; just maybe in a different way than we had thought, as we surrender ourselves to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-25-21

Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Spiritual warfare can wear on you after a while.

Our minds and bodies can become tired from the constant onslaught and the endless battles we face and fight each day. This is even more true when it comes to lengthy battles.

At some point, we need a reprieve; a break in the battles that are waged against our minds, where the enemy likes to play the most.

The verse above is just; a prescription for peace of mind and a rest in between battle fronts.

God’s word is absolutely the best weapon we have against so many of the things that we fight with.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s mental fatigue, anxiety, or even physical exhaustion. God’s word holds the cure.

We need to be sure to set time aside to dig into His word and feast on it, so we will have the words of God firmly embedded in us, allowing us to draw from that well at any point in time, allowing us to meditate and ponder on the goodness of God in a split second.

It doesn’t matter if we need His reassurances, His promises, His peace, His mercy or His grace.

We find it all in His word. And it’s when we meditate on it that He rebuilds our strength, eases our minds, renews our spirit and even cleanses our heart.

So, don’t give up the fight. Meditate, instead, on the things of God that heal us and bring strength to us again.

Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-23-21

Deuteronomy 20:4 (NKJV) 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

Are we challenged on our job? Do we feel like we can’t get ahead of things? What is happening with our plans? Does it feel like nothing seems to be going right?

How do we turn things around when it feels like this?

We all know that life’s struggles can be up and down.

Sometimes we feel as though we are on a cloud. But it doesn’t seem to last that long, and then we are down in the valley again.

We ask God, “why the struggle? Why can’t we stay level just for a while? I’m so tired of this, and I don’t want to have to do it again”.

We have to take a look at what we are doing.

Why?

Because many times the results of our choices are what’s putting us on this never-ending cycle of ups and downs.

It’s hard to break habits, schedules, routines and just plain old everyday ways of thinking.

We have to reach a point where we just say, “OK, I’m done with doing it the same old way. I’m going to push myself to let God bring change in my way of thinking”.

We need to be strong and patient if we want the best results. We need to allow God to push us beyond what is comfortable for us, and say, “OK. I’m not going to step in the way this time, even if it takes a little longer than I expected”.

And we have to mean it.

How many can relate?

I know, because this is speaking to me today, too.

Can we stand together, praying for each other to let good and helpful change come?

We need the type of change that will make us the head, and not constantly falling back into the tail-end.

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

God will make us the head:

Step one (1) have we reached the end of our rope?

Step two (2) Have we come to the conclusion that we are the cause of our situation, and we are willing to change the way we do things?

Step three (3) Can we take a step of faith and observe His way for us, trusting Him to turn things around?

Pray with us if you’d like God to help you in this area.

Dear God,

So many times I keep failing and going back to the old. So many times my heart is convicted, but my will keeps doing the same thing. I’m sorry, and I know that if I continue down this path, I will lose again.

I ask You to help me switch up those things in me that cause me to repeat the error(s) over and over again.

Give me a backbone to say no to myself, and to walk in Your way. I want to change my situation, not only for my own sake, but for my family or those I’m close to as well.

I do care and I do want to make a difference and be a good steward of all you give me.

Thank you in advance for Your help. My heart is ready to listen and I am ready to observe and do Your will.

In Jesus name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-22-21

Genesis 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

In his effort to deceive man and cause disobedience to take place, satan used two tactics.

The first was doubt.

He used questions to cause Eve to doubt that she had heard God correctly when she was told not to eat of the tree in the middle of the garden.

He never came right out and told her that it was OK. He simply got her to question what she had been told, causing her to second-guess God’s instructions and step out in disobedience.

The second was isolation.

Eve was alone, with nobody to help her fend off this attack.

Because Adam wasn’t there, Eve was left to try to sort through this assault on her own.

This left her vulnerable, relying solely on her own strength to fight back.

And in the end, she lost the battle.

We need to be careful not to let doubt cause us to fall. When we know that God has said something is so, we need to stick to that like glue, not allowing the enemy to use the questions of others to pull us off track.

And we need to stick together as followers of Christ, children of God, so we can help each other fend off these attacks.

Remember that the verse above says that “the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field”.

That serpent was satan himself. We need to be aware of his ways and his tactics, so we can learn how to avoid him and defend ourselves and our faith against his onslaught.

1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-21-21

Daniel 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

Daniel did not want to eat the delicacies, or drink the wine he had been supplied with, knowing that it was forbidden for the Jews to do so.

He knew it would defile him.

In light of this, he took a stand and asked his boss if he could prove that his diet was better.

He requested that he and his colleagues be allowed to eat their own food for 10 days. After the 10 days, let him judge their appearance and their health and make a final decision.

Sometimes we have to take a stand, like Daniel did, if something we are being told to do goes against what we believe to be good for us and our relationship with God.

God gave Daniel favor and goodwill with the chief of the eunuchs. And Daniel was able to prove his case.

Daniel 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.

What is it today that we are needing to stand up and say no to?

Are we on a job that is pushing us to do things against what we know is the right thing to do?

Are our kids in a place where we need to stand up and voice our opinion on a certain subject?

Do we need to take a stance and say no to things in our relationship that we know we should not be doing or going along with?

What is it today that God is saying, “stand up, be firm, don’t back down. I will give you favor and wisdom to know what to say and when to say it.”?

We have to purpose within our heart, like Daniel, to do the right thing and then stand.

Amen.
