Bible Verse of The Day – 4-8-25

Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

In what ways can we give?

We can give kindness, love, and compassion to others.

We can give a helping hand.

We can give material items.

We can give of our finances.

These are a few very common things that we all have available to us.

It’s our decision whether we follow through as the Holy Spirit leads us in our giving. Sometimes common sense will tell us what is needed at that moment, but other times He will prompt us.

We don’t always have time to think about what we need to give, we just need to be ready and open. Sometimes we can miss out on a very important moment to give if we spend time thinking, considering, pondering, etc.

What are we giving today? It will be measured back to us.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-7-25

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

As followers of Christ, it is important that we never stop learning.

Learning of God and His ways paves the way for us to better understand Him. And that understanding leads to stronger faith and trust in His ways.

God desires that we mature in Him, leaving behind our days as spiritual infants.

Think about it.

How would we as earthly parents view our children if they refused to grow up and become responsible adults?

That’s a pretty sobering thought, isn’t it?

We are told many times throughout God’s word to get knowledge and get understanding.

Those words were written with a purpose; to emphasize the importance of learning in the life of a child of God.

In fact, Paul encouraged Timothy to be ready in season and out of season to speak God’s word!

2 Timothy 4:2 (NKJV) 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

This can happen only if we put forth the effort to be prepared. No one can do it for us.

And as we put forth the effort, God will give the increase, helping us to better understand the things we read and study.

And our efforts are never in vain. The understanding we gain as we learn His ways will benefit us in every aspect of our lives.

Best of all, the knowledge we gain will give us a greater trust in God through everything we face. Our joy will increase, and we will walk in God’s peace in ways that we would never have imagined possible.

So, we urge you to press into Him and learn. Never stop learning.

Let it be a lifetime pursuit that changes your life in every possible way.

You will never regret it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-5-25

Proverbs 4:5 (NKJV) 5 Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

Paying attention to seasons, or changes that need to come in our lives, is crucial.

Making the right decision at the right time will be easy if we trust God’s leading and obey Him each step of the way.

Some people today have never been led by God in their decisions. They have always made up their own mind. They have always decided on their own what to do, and then just did it.

They never inquired of God for His wisdom and what He wanted for them in the matter.

It is just the way they have always done it, even as a Christian. They never think to ask God anything regarding the decision that is before them.

And you know the first thing they do when things don’t turn out right? They blame God for not helping them. For not being there for them. For not saving them from making a big mistake.

It is very sad. And sometimes they walk away from God because they feel that He failed them.

If we want His wisdom on anything, we simply need to ask Him. If we are sincere in wanting His guidance, He will be faithful, not only to give us wisdom, but also an understanding of that situation as well.

So, let us not neglect to seek Him when we are in the decision making process.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-25

Romans 11:17-18 (NKJV) 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Let me state right up front that I am not a tree farmer. Nor am I an arborist.

I know truly little about trees except for the fact that they have branches, some grow exceptionally large, and most grow leaves on them!

But during my lifetime I have heard little tidbits about the practice of grafting branches from one vine or tree into another tree.

And that small, grafted piece of tree attaches itself to the adopting tree and begins to grow as if it was always part of that bigger tree.

Beyond that, I know absolutely nothing about it.

Unbelievably, though, this topic is Biblical and has great spiritual implications.

Let me explain.

Jesus spoke of Himself in John 15:5 as the vine and said that we are the branches. He then stated that if we abide in him (stay attached to Him) we will bear much fruit, but apart from Him we can do nothing.

Very plainly stated!

But Paul, under the inspiration and leading of the Holy Spirit, expounded on this more deeply in Romans.

In the two verses above we see that some branches (Jews who rejected Jesus Christ) were broken off (separated from God due to their unbelief).

And in their place, we being wild olive trees, (non-Jews who have put their faith in Christ) have been grafted into the tree where the original branches (Jews) were broken off. And we partake of the root and the fatness (richness and nurturing) of the olive tree.

This can be a bit mind-twisting to sort out and make sense of. But it is important that we do so because it gives us a stronger, deeper understanding of some of the deeper aspects of our faith, and of the love of God.

Knowing these things helps us develop a deeper appreciation for the love, mercy, forgiveness, and favor that God displays to us, His grafted-in wild branches.

Let us also remember the words of Jesus, when He emphatically stated that if we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit, but without Him we can do nothing.

Thank you, Father, for grafting us into Your tree 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-25

Ecclesiastes 3:4 (NKJV) 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance…

When someone passes from our life, we will feel the bond that we had with them break. It will leave a place inside us that is empty.

We will feel it.

That does not mean that it will remain empty. That empty feeling is there only a short while until it is filled again.

How long that spot remains empty depends solely on us.

The one thing we need to be sure of is that we don’t let that empty spot be filled with the wrong thing.

Sometimes bitterness and anger will try to fill it up quickly. But know that it is not what God wants for us.

When we cry out for His help, He will fill that emptiness once again with the things we love. He knows us better than we know ourselves, so trust Him. He will get it right if we follow His leading.

If you are struggling today with emptiness because of someone you have lost, and you don’t know what to do or how to handle it, please join me in this prayer.

Dear God,

You know the pain and emptiness that I feel every day. It’s so big right now. I am not even able to help myself. I really don’t know what to do with it. Please help me to get past this feeling. I need Your strength to get through it. Help me to mourn, and to push through this pain.

I ask You today for help. I want to laugh and dance again!

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-25

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

We recently took a trip back to RI and CT to see family that we had not seen in quite some time.

The flight from NC to CT was extremely late at night. And the plane was full.

As most planes are, the seats on this one were tight to sit in and it offered little in the way of comfort. Pastor Ellie ended up sitting across the aisle from me and had struck up a lively conversation with two other ladies in that row, so I just hunkered down and listened to some music for the short 90-minute flight.

While we were jetting through the skies at 30,000 feet, with darkness all around us, I began to ponder various things of God.

Being in the sky led me to think about the bigness of God, and how small everything else is when compared to Him.

And this is something that most of us fail to comprehend in its fullness. The earth is big. The skies are even bigger. And when we consider the depth of the universe, it boggles our minds.

But God is bigger than all those things. He is the Creator of them all!

He simply had to speak words to make it all happen and come together in perfect unity and balance.

And yet, despite all that, He loves us and cares for us more than we can fathom.

And because He loves us so immensely, He redeemed us from our sinful selves by the blood of Christ, God incarnate.

He did that for you, and for me.

Why?

Because of his immense, unfathomable love for us. A love that our human minds cannot comprehend, nor can we accurately emulate.

So, if you are struggling today, if you are feeling alone, if you are down, if you are walking through a tough season, ponder on this incredible love that is bigger than we will ever fully know.

And understand that His love for you is that big.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-1-25

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

We must keep our mind on Him.

As soon as we take our mind off Him, the cares of the world will grip us. And we will feel trapped, stuck, suffocated, and heavy.

His burden is light. As we rest (trust) in Him, He will keep us in perfect peace.

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Are we a worrier, always trying to fix things and figure things out? We must work hard at keeping our minds fixed or stayed on Him.

Get in His word. Get in His presence through prayer. Then we will have His peace, His direction, and His way.

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
