Bible Verse of The Day – 6-28-12

(2 Th 3:13 NKJV)  But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

We want to encourage everyone today to continue to do what glorifies God in your lives.

Doing a good thing is OK, but doing a “God” thing is best. There are times when we can choose to do something that seems right and good, but it might not always be what God has chosen for us to do.

As His followers we always need to be alert and listening to hear what it is that He has for us to do. Sometimes it might seem like the littlest, most insignificant thing that we brush it off and ignore it, maybe even doubting that it was God speaking to us.

But it’s the subtle things that can make such a difference. It’s that “still, small voice” that prompts us and shows us the way so many times.

We just need to let God sharpen our discernment so we can hear Him clearly. Once we do this, He can truly begin to do a work in us and our lives will be a testimony to His goodness and His mercy.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-20-12

(Psa 51:10 NKJV)  Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Oh, a CLEAN heart.

Think of how beautiful and clean God is. Nothing about Him is bad or wrong; He is perfect in every way. Wow, how I long to just have one minute go by where everything I do is right within that minute.

Sometimes it seems so hard to do and say the right thing even in just a short period of time. It can be so discouraging at times. It makes me feel so awful and weak at times.

But I know that God is doing a work within all of us and it doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes it takes time for things to get changed and other times it happens quickly. Cleaning the heart is one of the biggest and longest processes there is; everything comes from our hearts.

(Prov 22:15 NKJV)  Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

Understand that we are God’s children and if we want this stuff driven far from us, we must let Him correct us, teach us, mold us and train us.

The heart is what we need to focus on. The love of God will help us clean things up and get things right if we go to Him, and those that He leads us to, to get counsel and advice from.

It’s a process and it can take some time, so don’t get discouraged…but be encouraged as we embrace God’s correction for us!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-12

(Prov 12:13 NKJV)  The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble.

Have you ever looked around you and thought “why does it seem like the bad guy always wins?”

Sometimes it seems like those that are the vilest in their ways are the ones who get ahead and prosper. But don’t be fooled. Despite how things look, everyone reaps what they sow, whether it’s here in this life or afterward.

It does seem sometimes like wickedness is prevailing in this world. But we, the righteous in Christ, will prevail.

Take heart in knowing that we are on God’s side and under His wing. We are highly favored and we will have victory in our lives.

Turn your eyes from the ways of the wicked and focus them on God. He is our source and our strength.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-12

(John 16:21 NKJV)  “A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

Some of us are struggling today because we know that we have to face some major decisions. We have to choose Christ’s way and not our own way.

Part of us wants to cry and run because we know it won’t be easy, but the other part of us knows it is the right thing to do and there is no use in prolonging it.

Today, choose Christ’s way. No matter how hard it may seem, it will be well worth it and joy will come!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-14-12

(Jer 1:19 NKJV)  They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the LORD, “to deliver you.”

How many times do we feel like someone is coming against us? How many of us can testify that we are fought hard when we are trying to do the right thing?

You would think that people would like it when you are living right.The first thing people say is, “your being judgmental” or “you think your better then us!” They try to make you think there is something wrong with you.

So many of the people that don’t want to walk according to God’s Word like to throw stones at those who do. Not all of them do this, but many do.

Just as this scripture says, though, “They will fight against you, but they shall NOT prevail”…the LORD will deliver us!

Stand strong in the Lord and keep doing what’s right. No matter how hard it seems to get, we will prevail with God’s strength and His help.
