Bible Verse of The Day – 9-18-17

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV) 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

What is the work of the Lord in our own lives?

The work of the Lord is different for each one of us. Most times, it will be wherever God has placed us. It is in that place that we need to focus on how and what He wants us to do.

It may be in our own personal situation. Or it might be on a job that we have. It could be in a school that we attend. It could be within our family or in our marriage, etc.

Anything that is right in front of us, and we are positioned to deal with, is our work. And we need to take it seriously.

We need to do His work in such a way that we give it our all and we do it by His strength, His wisdom and the leading of His spirit.

We need to do it as if we are doing it unto Him. We’re not doing it to please anyone other than our Father. And as we do so, we will be serving God and helping others.

It’s very simple. Wherever we are at any given time, we work with whatever opportunities God presents to us. And we do it the very best we can.

Colossians 3:23 (NKJV) 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men…

We can’t let man dictate to us how things should be done. We need to have an understanding of how our Father in heaven would like it done, and do it His way.

Be immovable and know that taking such a stance will be not for our own gain, but pleasing to God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-26-17

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Every one of us is unique, and God loves us all.

We each have our good things about us and then the things we need to work on. Of course, we feel great when the good things are at work. But boy, when we do something that we know we could have done better at, it bugs us and can make us mad, frustrated and disappointed.

Feeling like that is not necessarily a bad thing, though. When we know we can do better at something, it’s good that we push ourselves to try harder. To become all that we can be is what God wants for us. He wants us to excel!

He is rooting for us, to keep going, keep trying, and not give up. Through Christ we can do more and be more than conquerors.

This doesn’t mean that we will be perfect or get it right 100% of the time. Perfection is found only in One man; Jesus.

But sometimes we have to pick ourselves up and push harder. Giving up is not what God wants for us. We are winners, in and through Christ!

We have the Holy Spirit moving in us. Let’s grab hold of what God has given to us and do our very best.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-14

Colossians 3:23 (NKJV) 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.

I learned a lesson today.

I saw myself and I didn’t like what I saw.

I saw that I was doing something that needed to be done, but I was doing it less than as if I was doing it for Him, my God and Lord.

So many times we think of this verse and we apply it to work-related things. You know, making sure that we’re doing our jobs to the absolute best of our ability, so that we reflect God in a positive light that brings Him glory.

But today I was in the store, picking up some things that we needed. I had agreed to go along and help, even though it wasn’t what I would have preferred to be doing.

Now that may sound good, but the problem is that I ended up with an attitude.

Everywhere we went it was crazy busy. People rushing everywhere, buying last-minute stuff before Christmas.

It wasn’t the people or the busyness that got to me and caused me to become irritated. It was the thought of all of these people spending money because they felt pressured to do so, by commercialism and slick marketing by retailers.

Somehow I let this eat away at me until I became sullen and very quiet… maybe even somber. And, sadly, I let it show on my face and in my attitude.

I didn’t live up to God’s standards. I didn’t do what I was doing as though I was doing it for Him, even though it was just shopping.

Lesson learned, though, on my part. So I’m passing this along with the hopes that you can learn from my mistakes and not fall into the same trap I fell into.

Whatever you do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord.
