Bible Verse of The Day – 12-17-24

Acts 14:9-10 (NKJV) 9 This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.

The verses above show us that we must have faith to be healed. That’s what it takes. Faith!

Paul saw it in the man as he observed him intently.

Some godly people today are struggling with believing God for healing.

Maybe you feel like you don’t deserve it. Or maybe you don’t think what you have can be healed. Maybe you are scared and your faith has been shaken.

It happens to us all at times.

You are not alone. We are standing with you for healing.

Know that all it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed.

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Get in God’s word and He will fill you with truth, strength, and boldness like never before. And your faith will grow as you do so.

God can heal you, and He can walk you through the process.

Trust Him today!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-16-24

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

God’s word is more than most of us can ever comprehend.

It is more than mere words on a page.

It is more than digital pixels on a screen.

It is more than just something to be memorized.

God’s word is alive!

The word of God is our defense against temptation.

Jesus taught us this when He defended Himself against the attacks of the devil by quoting God’s word while He was being tempted in the desert.

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

You see, as we store God’s word in our hearts, the Holy Spirit will bring it to remembrance as we need it.

It is like having a reservoir overflowing with water when we are thirsty.

Does this mean we must memorize scriptures word by word?

No. Not at all. But it does mean that we need to spend enough time in it to ingrain it in our being.

We must get an understanding of it that will build our spirit up, strengthening us in preparation for the attacks of the enemy.

So, let us make the time necessary for us to partake in God’s word each day, learning to rightly divide the word of truth that we may live by it in everything we face.

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-14-24

Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV) 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Having joy as a believer does not mean we must walk around acting happy and bubbly even when we aren’t. Because, let’s face it, we don’t always feel happy, do we?

Sometimes we are full of sorrow.

Things happen and we, God’s children, grieve from time to time.

The joy of the Lord is knowing that while we go through our grieving time, He is with us. He will carry us; He is our JOY!

While going through hard times we don’t have to fake that we are OK. Maybe we can fool some, but most people can see right through us.

We need to be real with ourselves and with others.

If we are grieving, then we need to grieve. And over time we will get through it.

But while we are grieving we shouldn’t be ashamed of it. It’s OK to let others know we don’t want to do certain activities or even to not want company. Sometimes we want to be left alone, just us and God.

It’s the joy of the LORD that is our strength.

We need to get with Him. We need to take time to pour out our grief and pain at His feet.

Don’t walk around with a fake smile. Let His joy fill us again. But first we must lay our grief down and let Him help us through it.

Be real today and face the truth.

We may not feel very joyful, but we must remember the ONE who is. And that’s Who we put our faith and trust in.

We may be sorrowful for the moment, but Joy will come in the morning!

Psalm 30:5 (NKJV) 5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-13-24

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

The verse above is one that we frequently quote, or hear quoted, to bring peace in turbulent situations or times.

It brings comfort to those who are afflicted.

While recently reading the book of Psalms, something in this passage stood out to me that I had not previously noticed.

In addition to encouraging us to be still, and to trust Him in trying times, God also tells us that He “will be exalted among the nations” and He “will be exalted in the earth!”

This is a statement and a reassurance that should stir up a rousing AMEN in our spirit!

You see, God is not changeable. He is not weak or faint in His promises and His truths.

What He says, stands. What He promises holds true.

So, rest assured that things we witness in the world have not gone unnoticed by Him. He has not turned a blind eye, nor has He failed to hear it.

He is omniscient, and He is omnipotent. He knows all, sees all, hears all, and He has the power to do what needs to be done in the timing that is right as He sees it.

So, let us not be made afraid by what we see and hear. Let us not be troubled, despite wickedness and blasphemous behavior and speech.

He is the Judge before Whom we will all stand.

He will be exalted among the nations. And He will be exalted in the earth!

Rest in knowing that every knee shall bow before Him, and every tongue will confess to Him.

Isaiah 45:23 (NKJV) 23 I have sworn by Myself; The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, And shall not return, That to Me every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall take an oath.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-12-24

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.”

Giving is hard for most people when times are tough.

It is the last thing we want to think about during hard seasons.

But the scripture does not say to wait until things are going well to give. It doesn’t say to wait until we are in the mood to give, or to wait until we reach a certain goal in our situation to start giving.

If we learn and understand that giving is the seed that opens the door for God to give to us, we wouldn’t hesitate when He asks us to sow a seed or to give of our tithes and offerings.

We sow that seed and God will water it; it will grow!

If things are hard for you today, don’t “give up”. Give OUT!

Make it a point to give, to sow as God prompts you to do so.

If you don’t have a seed, if you are broke and on your last leg, you be the seed. Open up your heart and let God use you in whatever way necessary.

Give of what you have to Him and He will multiple it as you are obedient to His word.

The verse says to give, and it will be given to you. Let Him give to us good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over into our lives!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-11-24

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (LSB) 17 For our momentary, light affliction is working out for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Have you ever seen the look on a person’s face when they realize that they are about to go through a tough trial; something unexpected and difficult?

Any of us are likely to instantly become concerned and look a bit terrified if we are in that situation.

Why?

Because no one likes trials.

No one likes to be backed into a corner, facing seemingly impossible things.

These types of scenarios force us to deal with situations that are unfamiliar to us. We have no way of knowing what to expect or how to navigate through it.

It is normal to be scared. This is part of our fleshly reaction to difficult situations.

But God has told us that we are not to live by sight (the natural flesh), but by faith in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (LSB) 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight…

It is interesting to note that the word “sight” in the verse above literally means “appearance”, which tells us that we are to walk by faith and trust in God, not by the appearance of our situation.

This can be very difficult at times. Especially when it appears that our whole world is crashing down around us.

It is during these times that we must hold tightly to the word of God and the promises He has spoken.

It is in doing so that we will learn to trust Him in ways that we previously never thought possible. And as our faith in Him grows, we will see Him move in ways that we could never have imagined.

God has us in the palm of His hand. He is sovereign. He never leaves us nor forsakes us.

Let us trust Him to take us through the most difficult situations that we face in our lives.

And in doing so, we will find our relationship with Him growing stronger with each passing day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-10-24

Psalm 108:13 (NKJV) 13 Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

It’s through Him, we are given strength to do bold and brave things. It’s through Him we have courage and determination to stand strong in the face of adversity or persecution.

The seasons that come and are hard to swallow will pass. It may shake us up a little and cause us to become tired, but they will pass.

The enemy loves to hit God’s children. He loves to find ways to knock us for a loop. But God is faithful to help us do valiantly what He has called us to do.

God is there for us and will take care of our enemies in due time. We just need to keep standing and staying straight on the path He has called us onto.

We can’t be looking back, or to the right or the left. We must set our face like a flint and look to Him.

Isaiah 50:7 (NKJV) 7 “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

We are strong when we allow Him to guide us.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-9-24

Psalm 139:1-4 (LSB) 139 O Yahweh, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. 3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Yahweh, You know it all.

We wear our smiles and confident looks around our friends, work associates, and classmates.

We post our pictures on social media, sharing our best times and shining moments for others to see.

And all appears to be well with us.

But God knows what we are holding onto inside, where no one else sees.

The struggles with fear. The doubts. The insecurities. The thoughts that torment us and rob us of our joy and our peace.

He knows it all.

But better than that, He holds the answers to our questions and the solutions to our problems.

He knows our going in and coming out. He knows our sitting down and our rising. He knows our thoughts before we think them, and our words before we speak them.

He is just waiting for us to bring these things to Him and surrender them to Him so He can help us.

For some reason we tend to hold tightly to those things that want to tear us down. We guard them like secret treasure when, in fact, they are like an enemy within, working to tear us down and destroy us.

Why do we do this?

It is time for us to surrender these things to God and let Him walk us through whatever steps He leads us to take so we can find freedom from them, as led by the Holy Spirit.

He will give us the courage and strength to do this if we allow Him to.

Let’s allow Him to.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-7-24

Matthew 6:15 (NKJV) 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

If we want to be forgiven of our sins, we do not have the right to pick and choose who and when we will forgive.

God’s word is clear that forgiving others is not optional.

But some people don’t understand the importance of this.

They are holding grudges against others, thinking they are going to be forgiven despite not being willing to forgive others who have sinned against them.

The words above were spoken by Jesus. He is telling us very clearly that if we do not forgive men, our Father will not forgive us.

Forgiving someone for something they’ve done is a requirement that we must pay attention to.

It is something that will help us tremendously. When we forgive, our broken heart will begin to heal. And God will forgive us if we obey Him in this.

Today, let us forgive that one who has hurt us. That one who has spoken badly of us. That one who has taken from us, cast us out or shunned us in some way.

Is there someone who has abused us, emotionally, physically, or in some other way? Is there someone who has lied to us, or cheated us?

This is a very serious promise that Jesus has spoken about; one that can affect our lives deeply.

Forgive them that our Father will forgive us and bring healing to our wounds.

Dear God,

I come to You today. Please help me to know where I am holding unforgiveness in my heart and against whom.

I choose today with everything in me to forgive them. I am grateful that as I forgive them You have forgiven me.

Thank you, Lord God, in the mighty and precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen
