Bible Verse of The Day – 1-9-26

Psalm 24:8 (LSB) 8 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.

This verse is an excellent reminder of Who we serve.

He is the Lord, strong and mighty!

He is not just mighty in little things. He is mighty in battle!

Has He called us to do something? He will empower us by the Holy Spirit to do it.

Has He shown us something? He will give us understanding by the Holy Spirit.

And when He has directed us to change something in our lives, He will give us the power to obey Him by His Spirit!

God has not created us to be weak and fearful.

He has created us, you and me, for a purpose.

And He will equip us to walk out that purpose.

Remember that we are not orphans. He has adopted us, grafted us into His vine.

Romans 11:17 (NKJV) 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them…

And as He prunes us, He is setting us up so that we may be able to produce a harvest of good fruit.

Let us walk out what He shows us to do by the power of the Holy Spirit and bring glory and honor to His name in the earth!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-8-26

Psalm 150:6 (NKJV) 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

On this beautiful Sunday I am in awe at how blessed I feel today.

It’s not that I don’t have any problems, that everything is hunky dory, or that life is perfect. But something much greater happened in my life many years ago.

I found the way, the Truth, and I found life!

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

I found God and His wonderful plan for redemption.

It is not just for me, but for whoever believes in the name of Jesus Christ and repents.

John 14:1 (NKJV) 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

Jesus says it best; you believe in God, believe in Me also!

Who is Jesus Christ?

He is the Son of God who came to save us!

So here I am. And yes, I have things going on that need addressing. I have troubles just like you.

My life is not perfect or problem-free. But my heart is not troubled. Instead, it is at peace.

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

I rejoice in the Lord for giving me such peace. No matter where I stand in this life today, He guards my heart and mind.

I’m His child and He is my salvation. Praise the Lord! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-26

Revelation 16:1 (LSB) 1 Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

As I have recently been working my way through the book of Revelation, through the lens of Biblical prophecy I have seen confirmation of the great depravity of the world.

Now, this could cause great anxiety or depression.

But I am a child of God, And I know that this is all part of what was spoken of through the prophets centuries ago as He revealed His plans, that we might not be ignorant.

I rest securely in Him. I have no fear or worries.

Instead, I have great hope!

Because I am a blood-bought follower of Christ, I know who wins in the end. I’ve read the Book, and we already know how the story ends.

Does the condition of humanity, and the massive presence of evil in the world bother me?

Of course it does. It is devastating to watch people around the globe descend into what can only be described as demon-inspired sin and utter depravity, ignorant to the destruction they are hurtling toward at breakneck speeds.

But I also know that the love of God, and the plans He has, are bigger and more powerful than anything the devil can scheme up.

So, we would like to encourage you today. Do not let the difficulties of the days we live in cause you to become distraught or fearful.

God is giving us glimpses of His light and His power.

Set your face like a flint and fix your eyes squarely on Him, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

He truly holds the future in His hands.

And if you are His child, He holds you in those same hands.

Take comfort in Him and rest in His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Amen 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-6-26

Matthew 7:7 (NKJV) 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

I find this verse to be very comforting, and it brings stability to me at times when I’m struggling with anxiety.

God is saying, “ask!”.

It’s very simple. But most times we forget to ask.

Is there something we have not asked Him for yet? Is there something we are letting get the best of us?

And if we have asked, are we trusting Him to deliver? Because the next verse says it all.

Matthew 7:8 (NKJV) 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

There we go; for everyone who asks, receives!

We must have filial trust.

Filial is a deep, childlike reliance and confident submission to God for His answer, timing and deliverance of that answer.

And while it may take time to show up, what does it say for us to continue doing?

Matthew 7:12 (NKJV) 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

So, stay busy doing good things for others even in our midst of waiting for our answer.

This is obeying God as we wait on His promise in good faith!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-5-26

James 2:19 (NLT) 19 You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.

In our lifetimes we will come across many people who say they believe in God.

And those same people will believe in their hearts that they will enter into God’s kingdom when they depart from this earth at the time of their physical death.

In fact, you will likely encounter more people of this mindset than those who admit that they don’t know whether they will enter into heaven or not.

The sad truth is that the vast majority of those who claim to believe in God and feel confident in their eternal security in heaven will not enter in.

Why?

Jesus spoke these words about the large number of people who choose the wide, easy road in life.

Matthew 7:13-14 (LSB) 13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

And He also stated this:

Matthew 7:22-23 (NKJV) 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

You see, it is one thing to say that we believe. It is yet another to obey God to prove our faith.

Yes. Obey.

Even the demons believe that there is one God. And they tremble because of this truth. But they do not obey God.

So it is with people. We can believe in God. But do we obey God?

Obeying is what sets true children of God apart from those who think they are saved but have no foundation.

These may sound like harsh and judgmental words. But look at what John wrote.

1 John 2:3 (LSB) 3 And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

John was speaking about more than just obeying the Ten Commandments”. He was referring to obeying God’s word as a whole.

This is not obedience based on rituals or rote mechanics.

It is obedience based on a sincere love for God that pricks our conscience and causes that love to make us want to obey Him, not just go through the motions.

So, we ask this question today.

Do we believe in God, or do we obey Him?

The difference between the two means life or death for eternity.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-26

Romans 7:19 (NKJV) 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

We understand what it means to be faithful, but doing it is very difficult at times for the flesh to carry out. We all deal with human imperfections. And they can get in the way of doing what we know is right.

Paul says it best; when I want to do something good, I don’t do it. What do I do instead? The opposite.

Being willing to do things and actually doing them are two entirely different things.

When we do get it right, we should praise God, because He is our strength in helping us carry things all the way through.

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Our flesh can be on that list of things that are impossible to deal with. Most times we struggle with our very own selfish ambitions when it comes to being faithful to God.

But, the closer we get to God, the easier it will become because through Him all things are possible.

God is perfect at being faithful. We don’t ever have to worry that He will fail us. We don’t ever have to worry He won’t help us or be there when we need Him.

We are the ones who have trouble with being faithful in our actions. Let Him do a good work in us and help us to be faithful.

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-26

Proverbs 30:5-6 (LSB) 5 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. 6 Do not add to His words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar.

God is mysterious in nature. It’s part of who He is.

His word contains untold numbers of mysteries.

Many of these mysteries are beyond human comprehension. And there are some things that we will never understand.

We have to be OK with that.

It’s not wrong to ask questions and seek answers. But we have to understand that some questions will never have answers.

If we could know and understand everything about God, we would not revere Him.

We cannot become obsessed with finding answers that don’t exist.

We can’t fabricate answers based on human intellect, trying to connect the dots, or by conjecture.

Doing so is flirting with or bordering on adding to or taking away from God’s word. And this can be very dangerous ground.

God has told us that it is impossible to please Him without faith.

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Our relationship with Him is based completely on faith. We cannot have a relationship with Him outside of faith.

Human intellect will always question. Faith will trust even when we cannot see or fully understand things.

Because this is the nature of a faith-based relationship, it is OK if there are things we have no answers for.

We have to trust Him.

We have to take Him at His word.

Sometimes a mystery is meant to be just that; a mystery. And it behooves us to leave it as such.

Let us trust God. Walk and live by faith. It is what He asks of us. And we are wise to do what He asks.

Romans 11:33 (LSB) 33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-26

Genesis 1:28 (NKJV) 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply;

Having children is a blessing from God! He created us to be fruitful and to be able to multiply!

Our youngest daughter and her husband blessed us with our 5th grandchild very recently!

As I held this precious new baby in my arms, I looked at her in awe. How amazing childbirth is!

When I looked down at her, I saw her tiny cheeks, nose, mouth, ears, and oh her little fingers and toes. I was looking at it all!

When we take the time and acknowledge the making of a human being, it blows my mind.

She’s precious. Her skin, and all her little parts were working perfectly. They knew what to do without her even knowing. They just worked! Her little lungs knew to breathe. Her little eyes knew to open. She even did a yawn.

But, even though some things are automatic, there are those things that are not, and it is up to us to teach them. We are responsible when they are little to teach them the right things.

Most importantly, we are to raise them up teaching them all about the things of God.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NKJV) 6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Sometimes kids get to a point where they think they’re too old for this, and they may not want to hear it anymore. It’s our job to not give into what they want, but to give them what they need.

Stay strong. They will need what you have for them; it will carry them when you’re not around to pick up the pieces.

Amen.
