Bible Verse of The Day – 4-23-22

by

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

When things go wrong, the storm has hit and we are laying on our backs looking up, trying to clean up the messes, remember Who’s we are.

Don’t look at it all at once. Start with one day at a time. Sometimes even one hour at a time.

It’s not easy, and no one said that this life would be. Jesus said it all when He talks about tribulations. But He does end it on a good note.

He has overcome and so will we!

Maybe we’ve been through some things and we hurt from it. Maybe we are deeply scarred.

Don’t let the joy be lost. Choose to let God help us laugh again and to shine bright.

It may not happen immediately. But over time we will heal and find the strength to smile again.

Laughter will fill our hearts once again and we will have a testimony to share with others that may bring encouragement and victory in a dark season.

Look up today. Our help comes from the Lord, our Overcomer!

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-22-22

by

Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace…

The mission of Christ here on earth was immeasurable in its scope; to save humanity from their sins.

As I read this verse, I noticed that the entirety of that mission was summed up here in one tidy little package.

In Him (Christ) we have redemption through His blood.

It is the blood of Christ that redeems us; washes us clean from our sins. We just need to apply it to ourselves by trusting Him and putting our faith in Him.

We can also have forgiveness for our sins through Christ by the simple act of sincerely repenting and asking for His forgiveness.

How could this be?

Because the death of Christ bought us (literally purchased us) out from under the burden (bonds, chains) of slavery. Slavery to what? Slavery to sin.

And if we look at the very last part of this verse, we are told how this is all made possible; according to the riches of His grace.

It is the grace of God that makes this possible. Without that grace, we would all be eternally condemned, without hope.

But by His grace we can be set free and become a child of God, allowing us to walk with Him in a relationship that will change us for eternity.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-21-22

by

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Boy, the fruit sounds so great!

Can we just picture it? God’s children all walk together in this. It makes me happy just thinking about it. What a beautiful way to live!

There is only one thing that stops us from walking completely in this; our flesh.

That’s right. Our own self.

Talk about control over what we can do and not do. We have it in us, but sometimes, as we all know, it’s hard to control our feelings.

We’ve got to be wise.

Proverbs 29:11 (NKJV) 11 A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back.

Our emotions like to have control. And if we let them, they can take us down the opposite road of what we should be doing, saying and feeling.

We need to hold back our emotions at times and tell them how they are going to behave. Not the other way around.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-22

by

Hosea 6:6 (NKJV) 6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

One of the most important things we can learn as believers is to understand what God truly desires from us.

Many people go to great lengths to try to please God. But they get caught up in repetitive things; traditions, habits, routines, rituals, etc.

And many times, we view the things we do as a great sacrifice to God.

But our habits and routines don’t please God. In fact, they do quite the opposite.

What pleases God is our sincere, heartfelt love for and dedication to Him. This leads to us obeying Him, not out of blind tradition, but out of a sincerity of heart that goes way beyond a ritualistic or habit-driven action ever could.

In the verse above, it’s important to note that the word, mercy, is better translated as faithfulness or loyalty.

So, let us not be rote, habitual or mechanical in our walk with God.

Instead, let’s be sincere, faithful and loyal, that we may hear His voice readily and not quick to shut Him out because what we see or hear doesn’t match our routines.

Remember what the prophet, Samuel, said to Saul in 1 Samuel 15:22; to obey is better than sacrifice.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-19-22

by

Psalm 40:8 (NKJV) 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”

Delight to do His will.

How many today can say this, like David did, and really mean it?

It’s easy when we don’t feel the pressure of things around us making it hard. But when push comes to shove, and people, circumstances, and our own flesh pull on us, there’s nothing easy about it.

As believers, we can be truthful with each other and admit that it’s hard.

The Father’s will; what is His will?

To be disciplined enough to obey His word. Living in this world we have to work hard at obeying what God tells us to do. We have to keep on that path of righteous living.

Romans 7:15 (NKJV) 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

Paul admits it in Romans when he says, the very thing I want to do I don’t and the thing I don’t want to do, I do.

Why?

Because of the pressure on our emotions at times. It wears on us. We can get weary.

But Praise be to God, that He is faithful to sustain us and keep us pressing forward.

Do our best and let God be our strong hand, and help us with that which we can’t.

Psalm 136:12 (NKJV) 12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, For His mercy endures forever…

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-22

by

Psalm 19:14 (NKJV) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

I truly enjoy reading and studying God’s word. With each bit of new understanding I gain, I am drawn closer and closer to Him.

I have learned that the deeper mysteries of the word really draw me in and help me mature as a believer.

But sometimes I like to reflect and meditate on some of the most foundational truths. They help shore up my faith and keep me grounded.

This scripture is one of those.

Specifically, those last five words really sum up who God is to me; “my strength and my Redeemer”.

And I especially like the Hebrew word for strength literally means “rock”.

That is what God is. He is my Rock.

He is who I cling to every minute of every day.

Why?

Because He is the only One who can be counted on day after day to be stable and unchanging.

In Him there is no variation or shadow of turning (James 1:17).

What exactly does that mean?

It means that, unlike everything else about the earth and the rest of creation, He never changes. He doesn’t move. He is fixed (stationary), so to speak, so there is never any danger of Him not being there or suddenly changing.

He is the one constant in each and every one of our lives.

Cling to Him. Draw near to Him. Trust Him with every fiber of your being.

He will never, ever fail us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-16-22

by

John 3:36 (NKJV) 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

My heart trembles for those who will not believe in Jesus Christ.

They have no idea what is ahead for them if they continue to be stiff-necked towards God’s redemption plan for them.

Some just don’t care. Others understand it but they won’t bend and surrender their will.

But I also know that if they were to look around and see the world as a whole, they would realize that there is NO way all of this could have been created without a Creator.

And the way He orchestrated everything just right for our salvation is miraculous.

It took Someone as magnificent as God to make such an excellent, compassionate, merciful and sacrificial arrangement for our freedom. They choose with their own hearts to refuse it.

God gives us every opportunity to see His miraculous work and to know His plan for us. But some will not receive it as truth, and thus will see His wrath.

It’s the heart of man that has to make the decision to seek God out and find His truth.

We are praying today for those who are unsure, that they will ask God to reveal His Son to them in such a way that they will repent of their sin and know the truth. And that the Truth will set them free and give them everlasting life. Amen.

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Bible Verse of the Day – 4-15-22

by

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Perseverance is a big deal in our walk with God.

It’s not uncommon for each of us to encounter situations from time to time where we just want to throw our hands up in the air and run away from the things that we’re facing.

This is normal for our flesh to react this way.

Even mature, seasoned believers can run into this sometimes.

There is no secret formula that will prevent us from encountering tough situations or circumstances.

We can, however, learn how to handle those situations better from a Biblical perspective.

This requires that we change the way we look at things, shifting from seeing things through the lens of our own desires to what God desires for us.

Hebrews 12:3 (NKJV) 3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

Jesus forsook His fleshly desires to do what pleased His Father. It’s what He thrived on. And it must become what we thrive on if we also hope to please our Father in heaven.

It won’t always be easy. In fact, it will sometimes be downright hard. But we can rest in knowing that we don’t do this on our own. We do it by the power given to us by the Holy Spirit, who leads and guides us.

And what is the reward for this?

In due season we shall reap if we don’t lose heart.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-14-22

by

Philippians 3:13 (NKJV) 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead…

“Don’t look back” was a word that I got the other day while I was praying.

This is not an easy word.

It is so hard sometimes to not want to revisit those places and things that once brought us joy and comfort. We just love familiarity.

We humans love the things we are used to having or doing. We often reach for them to find comfort.

The neat thing about God is that He knows what is best for us. And knowing that will help us to reach forward to take bigger steps than we ever thought we would take.

Don’t look back is not hard to understand, but it is hard to do.

When we look back and remember how things were, it gives us a false sense of comfort. It will only last for a short time.

When we realize we are not there anymore, we fall back into a deeper sadness, and even depression if we are not careful.

This word today, “don’t look back”, is for our own good.

God has a place for us. And when we let go and allow Him to show us, we will dance, sing and shout in such great victory!

Hopefully we will listen today and stop going back to the past, and focus on what is ahead of us. We will be amazed if we trust Him and give Him full freedom in our lives.

Forget the things behind us and reach forward with everything in us. Amen.
