Bible Verse of The Day – 12-26-23

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

The devil is a thief.

He will steal. He will try to bring death and completely destroy whatever he can.

But praise the Lord, Jesus came that we may have life!

It seems like we often concern ourselves with the wrong things; our careers, our home, our friends, our appearance, our food, our finances, etc.

We can stress and wear ourselves out over these things.

What if we told you that a lot of what concerns us is not anything we need to worry about? Would you believe it?

Let’s look at what Jesus has to say about these things.

Matthew 6:25 (NKJV) 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

There is more to life than these things. But we find ourselves worried about them more than anything else. The enemy wants them to consume us.

When these things concern us greatly, we are not trusting God. Our life is passing us by and we are missing out on great opportunities.

Colossians 3:2-3 (NKJV) 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

We need to ask ourselves how much time we spend thinking and concerned about our walk with God.

If we were half as concerned about our relationship with Him as we are with our earthly cares, and we made the necessary changes in our hearts, we wouldn’t be so quick to worry or be concerned about these things.

Wait. Do you mean He will just take care of them for us?

I’ll let Him speak to you Himself.

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

This doesn’t mean that we simply sit back, do nothing, and wait for Him to drop everything in our laps.

The key is to concern ourselves with, and seek after Him, more than anything else. In that we will find our answers.

Our true happiness and stability will come as we follow Him. That’s when our life will come together!  Amen.
