Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-21

by

Psalm 119:160 (NKJV) 160 The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

We must believe the whole Bible and take to heart the things that God has spoken to us.

Stand on His Word no matter what we see going on around us. Keep our hearts focused on Him, and don’t look back.

This place we live in is only temporary. But while we are here, we must take action as God’s children.

His promises have been given to each and every one of us.

If we need salvation, it’s in Him.

If we need hope, it’s in Him.

If we need deliverance, it’s in Him.

If we need healing, it’s in Him.

He is everything. And we can do nothing without Him. We must abide in His truth.

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

He will carry us through the hardest times we have ever had to walk through and get us to the other side!

So many of us struggle with this when things begin to fall apart around us. We lose sight of Him and begin to grow weary if we are not careful.

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.

Losing heart means that we begin doubting His very words, and giving up.

Hold tight. He is faithful to get us to the other side! Amen.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-21

by

Isaiah 26:8 (NLT) 8 Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.

This verse sums up what our relationship with God should be based on; obeying Him because we trust Him, not simply because we have been told to do so, or because it’s a routine or habit.

And in doing that, we will glorify His name in everything that we do.

This is the goal we should work toward as we learn of Him and grow closer to Him.

Sometimes we tend to over-complicate our walk with God. We overthink it. We add things to it that don’t benefit that relationship or make it stronger.

And most of those things are based on human intellect or human concepts. Others are based on tradition or something we saw someone else do.

The best thing we can do is to keep it simple and build that walk based solely on Biblical principles.

If we do that, our walk with Him will be the strongest it could ever be. And because of that, we will also be the strongest we could ever be.

Keep it simple and real.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-23-21

by

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

He is the One we want to delight in. He is the One we want to spend time with and He is the One we want to give ourselves to and serve on a regular basis.

As we press in and learn all about Him, our desires may change to where we just want to please Him. We just want to serve Him.

He becomes so desirable and satisfying that nothing else is needed to complete us or make us happy. There is no tug of war between serving Him and wanting to do things outside of or apart from Him.

When we grow to know Him, our desires will be more aligned with what He wants for us. And He will give us those things.

Even when He blesses us with the things we desire, we will find ourselves delighting in Him more and more. Because we see how much He knows us and how much He truly cares.

God knows more about what we desire than we do. He knows our personal preferences better than we do.

Let us begin to delight ourselves in Him and let Him bring on the desires of our hearts in His timing. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-22-21

by

Isaiah 8:19 (NKJV) 19 And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?

It is well known among most believers that seeking information or answers through mediums, psychics and others who speak through spirits other than the Spirit of God is Biblically unacceptable.

And yet, most of us see it happening in large numbers all around us.

The word of God is very clear about this topic. It is mentioned many times throughout the Bible.

Astrology, spiritism, horoscopes, fortune telling and other such activities are dangerous and can really mess with a person’s walk with God, leading them down a very bad path that can sometimes be very hard to get off of.

If you’re a believer, and you’ve never been told this before, please consider yourself informed!

Steer clear of any of these practices. Run far from them, and never go back to them.

Repent, people of God, and come clean before our God, seeking His forgiveness.

Leviticus 19:31 (NJKV) 31 ‘Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-21-21

by

John 10:14-15 (NKJV) 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

He surely does know His sheep. And if we lean on Him, trusting His every move, we will know Him too.

This scripture says it all. He has laid His life down for us. Amen.

Sometimes I think of this and it just goes over my head. It’s so deep. To know Someone laid their life down for us, it’s a hard thing to digest.

He is a personal one-on-one Savior! This means that He did it for you and He did it for me. Each one of us were on His heart.

Even though He knows what we are all about, He still loved us enough to die on the cross out of obedience to His Father and His love for us.

Boy, we couldn’t be more blessed than this. He is an amazing Lord and Savior!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-20-21

by

Job 40:3-4 (NJKV) 3 Then Job answered the Lord and said: 4 “Behold, I am vile; What shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth.

It’s funny how tough, uncomfortable situations can show us who we are and what we’re made of.

Times of trial can squeeze us, putting pressure on us and causing us to act in ways that aren’t always pretty.

When we get squeezed, stuff comes out; nasty stuff that we’d rather not see or have others see.

Look at what happened to Job when he was going through his time of trouble.

At first, he played it very cool. He sat quietly and chose his words carefully.

But as time went on, he began to share what was really inside. And it wasn’t pretty at all.

Ultimately, he railed against God and demanded an audience with Him so he could proclaim his innocence.

You see, Job was getting squeezed. And the more he got squeezed, the more he got to see himself. And he didn’t like what he saw.

In the end, God spoke to Job and reprimanded him for his attitude and his behavior.

And Job repented. Why? Because he saw that who he was displeased God. And he was also displeased with himself.

He had acted foolishly, and it made him ashamed.

But you see, when Job repented, God forgave him and blessed him.

Let us learn from Job. Let’s take what he learned and put it to work in our own lives, so when we get squeezed, we don’t do the same things he did.

Let God lead. He will bring us through the trials in ways that we can’t do ourselves.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-18-21

by

Matthew 17:22-23 (NKJV) 22 Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.” And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

As I was reading this, something in this verse caught my attention. Jesus was speaking in the 3rd person as He prepared His disciples for what was to come.

Instead of saying, “they will kill Me”, He said, “and they will kill Him”. Instead of saying, “and I will be raised up on the third day”, He said, “He will be raised up”.

But yet He is speaking of His own crucifixion and resurrection, not of someone else.

Why would Jesus say these things in the 3rd person?

Because it was God Himself, speaking of the fleshly incarnation of God (the Son), Jesus Christ, and what He was about to go through for us.

1 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

God, manifested in the flesh, was Jesus!

He walked among us. And He was about to be betrayed, killed, and then raised up on the 3rd day! Hallelujah!

Together, both God in the Spirit and God in the flesh accomplished what was required in order to make salvation available to humanity, offering freedom for all who put their trust and faith in Christ. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-17-21

by

Ephesians 5:14 (NKJV) 14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

I’ve read in some notes by well-known Bible scholars that this verse (which is loosely based on a quote from Isaiah) is being directed at unbelievers, urging them to put their faith in Christ.

Paul urges his readers to arise from the dead. In doing so, Christ will give them light.

And while what Paul says is surely true, if we read the verses leading up to this verse, and the rest of the chapter after this verse, everything Paul wrote was being aimed at believers.

In light of that, we need to assume that Paul was speaking to believers, not unbelievers.

If that’s the case, what is he saying to us? What does it mean?

Well, if we read verses 1-13, we will see that he is addressing sin in the lives of believers, admonishing the believers at Ephesus to abstain from the behaviors and practices that held them in bondage prior to putting their faith in Christ.

It’s safe to say, then, that we need to pay close attention to this and apply it to our own lives, making sure that we are not falling into things that pull us away from God. But, instead, shaking off these things and making every effort to be drawn to God.

Verses 15 and 16 go on to tell us that we should walk circumspectly.

Circumspectly is an interesting word. What does it mean?

It means being careful, cautious, guarded, wary, watchful, attentive, alert and vigilant!

Why? Because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:15-16 (NKJV) 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-16-21

by

Matthew 25:35 (NKJV) 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in…

Giving of ourselves for others touches the heart of our Father in Heaven. When we do this, it’s just as if we are doing it for Him.

Ask ourselves today, are we ready and available to help someone? Can we give where there is a need?

Or are we waiting for someone else to step up to the plate? Do we turn a blind eye to the needs around us?

As we open our hearts to be ready and willing to do whatever it takes, God will bring those situations around us where we can make a difference.

Are we ready to make a difference? Are we ready to give of ourselves and our finances when needed, to support, encourage, and uplift those things or people God puts before us?

We’re not saying we have to help everyone or in every situation; just in those that He tugs on our hearts for.

Matthew 25:40 (NKJV) 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Stay aware of those people or situations that tug on our hearts. Take part in whatever way we feel led. For when we do, we are doing it unto Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-15-21

by

Psalm 18:1-2 (NLT) 1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

It’s not a secret that God called David a man after His own heart. And there is a very good reason for that; because it was true.

David never abandoned God or traded Him in for “other gods”.

Despite his shortcomings as a human being, David loved God deeply throughout his lifetime. That love for God never faltered.

One of the things I find interesting about verse 1 in the scriptures above is that the Hebrew word used for love isn’t the word that’s typically used in most other areas of the Bible.

Most times, the word used for love in the original Hebrew transcripts indicates the concept or idea of covenant.

The word that David used here, however, is a rare form of a word that expresses intimacy. In fact, it actually expresses tender intimacy.

David’s love for God was so intense that he used an uncommon word that more accurately expressed his true passion for his love for God.

This should be the goal of every believer; to love God so intensely that our love can’t be described using normal, everyday words.

If you’re not there right now, don’t feel bad. Don’t get down on yourself. But take the steps to do whatever it takes to make It happen.

Remember, we get out what we put in when it comes to our relationship with God.

So, if loving God intensely is our goal and our desire, let’s take the steps to make it happen.

We will never, ever be sorry.
