Bible Verse of The Day – 11-7-20

Exodus 14:10 (NKJV) 10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.

Most times, fear will cause us to cry out to the Lord.

We all have this in common. We get scared, and then we cry out. It’s a normal reaction. And situations of desperation will bring us to our knees.

Pharaoh let the children of Israel go, but when God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, (Exodus 14:4) he chased them down.

The Israelite’s were scared and upset with Moses for taking them out of Egypt and leading them into the wilderness. They thought they would have been better off staying in bondage to the Egyptians.

But God showed them His miraculous hand when He parted the Red Sea to walk through and then closed it back up while the Egyptians were chasing them down. The entire Egyptian army was destroyed in the sea.

Exodus 14:27 (NKJV) 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

How scared are we today? Are we so scared we are wishing we could go back into bondage because we don’t like the looks of the wilderness or the new journey God has put in front of us?

2 Kings 17:39 (NKJV) 39 But the Lord your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”

Someone reading this is getting ready to be set free. Don’t fear the enemy and give up.

Stop and pray this through.

God will not take us out of a place if He does not have a plan and a place to lead us into.

He is our Deliverer!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-4-19

Isaiah 41:13 (NKJV) 13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Life can sometimes leave us feeling alone and afraid.

We don’t know from one day to the next what we will face or what kind of challenges we will come up against.

It doesn’t matter what country we live in, whether we are male or female, what our financial status is, what nationality we are or the color of our skin. Stuff happens, and usually when we least expect it.

Many times, these things can hurt us emotionally. Other times they cause us to withdraw and wonder if anyone really cares.

And these types of things can make us fearful and afraid, grasping for hope.

But we’re here today to tell you that nothing can ever truly isolate you or leave you hopeless.

God is as close as we will let Him be. As we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. As we seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him.

Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NKJV) 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

It’s time for us to stand against the things that are pushing us down. Time to resist the temptation to fall into self-pity. And time to push back against the darkness, in the name of Jesus, holding fast to God’s promises.

Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Don’t fear. We are not alone. He is our fortress. He will help us!

Psalm 18:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-14-19

Psalm 56:3 (NKJV) 3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

Fear can be a terrible thing. It can cause us to do things we might think we would never do. It can make us run and hide at times, cowering from the thing we are in fear of.

On the other hand, fear can be a good thing in certain situations. Fear can keep us from doing things that are harmful to us or to others. We can learn from that kind of fear. It can protect us.

As a whole, though, God doesn’t want fear to play a major role in our lives. Why? Because fear can really mess us up if we’re not careful.

Fear can stop us from doing things that God wants us to do. It can push us back from the steps that we need to take at times. And it can cause us to question our faith, or maybe even doubt God.

Look at what fear did to Elijah when he became afraid of Jezebel.

1 Kings 19:3 (NKJV) 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

Elijah’s life had been threatened by Jezebel, so it’s understandable that he would run. But in doing so, he quickly forgot what God had just done through him a short time earlier, when he slayed a large number of prophets of Baal.

So, if fear can cause Elijah to run after such an amazing feat, it’s no wonder that it can also cause us to turn and run.

The important thing to remember about fear is that we can’t conquer it on our own. With God, though, we can overcome it and do whatever it is that God wants us to do.

We need to trust Him at all times, even when things might look bleak and we are fearful, not just when everything is going smoothly.

It’s during those times of fear that our trust in God can grow and be strengthened, if we will stand with Him and follow His leading. It’s not always easy, as Elijah found out. But when we do stand firm, it can be very, very rewarding.

And, as we stand firm, trusting in God, our relationship with Him will grow stronger as we watch Him move on our behalf.

Whenever we are afraid, trust in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-19

Psalm 56:3 (NKJV) 3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

We all face fear from time to time.

Sometimes it’s a choice we might have made. Other times it’s a situation that we find ourselves in. There are very many things that we can cause us to be afraid.

Many believers feel that it’s bad to be afraid… that God is disappointed with us if we express fear. But this isn’t true.

Fear is something that is natural. God created us to fear certain things. It’s part of how we protect ourselves from things that are dangerous or harmful for us.

There is something, though, that God wants us to do when we face fear. He wants us to go to Him.

He doesn’t want us to run and hide. He doesn’t want us to make rash decisions. He doesn’t want us to let the fear control us.

As we go to Him, it’s OK to let Him know that we’re afraid. But once we do that, He wants us to let Him show us how to handle it.

God is faithful to guide us and give us His wisdom, if we will allow Him to. That’s the key to beating those things that make us fearful; receiving and following His counsel.

In Matthew 8:25-26, the disciples had become fearful for their lives as they were crossing the water in a boat. Jesus was with them and had fallen asleep.

As they saw their situation, they became fearful and woke Jesus to express their fear. Jesus scolded them for their lack of faith, and then He proceeded to rebuke the wind and the waves, bringing instant calm.

The important thing to take note of here is not the fact that Jesus scolded the disciples, but why He scolded them.

He didn’t scold them because they were afraid. He scolded them because they let their fear get the best of them and cause them to act irrationally, instead of simply asking Him for help in knowing what to do about it.

So that’s the lesson for us here; going to God to ask for His help and counsel, instead of running away, defeated by the fear.

When we’re afraid, let’s trust in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-11-19

1 Kings 19:9 (NKJV) 9 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

Elijah was hiding out in a cave. His life had been threatened and he became afraid of what he thought was going to happen.

If fear can cause Elijah, a prophet of God, to run and hide I’d say it can get the best of us too.

God was like, “Elijah, what are you doing here?”. Elijah had picked up and run when Jezabel had threatened to kill him. He answered God and said, “God, they’re going to kill me!”

1 Kings 19:10 So he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

You see, Elijah was intimidated by what he heard. He took it as though it was absolute. That it was final.

Let us learn a lesson, that no matter how big and bad the enemy may look or sound, no matter what he tries to say he is going to do to us, We stand on the promises of God.

How many of us today are on the run? We need to stop running, hiding and avoiding people and situations because of fear.

God told Elijah go and to return to the wilderness. And he gave him specific instructions as to what to do when he got there.

1 Kings 19:15 (NKJV) 15 Then the Lord said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.

God does not want us running in fear. He wants us to stand even when the enemy is trying to take us out.

Go. Return to our station, and heed God’s voice. He will give us direction. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-25-18

Romans 8:15 (NKJV) 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Fear is something that many people wrestle with on various levels.

There are many different types of fear. And people can be fearful for many different reasons.

In the end, it really doesn’t matter what it is that we’re afraid of. What really matters is that we face our fears and let God help us conquer them.

We can’t usually beat them on our own. We need God’s help. And He helps us in so many different ways.

Sometimes He simply shows us that our fears are unfounded and are based solely on something we have imagined in our minds.

Other times, He shows us why we’re fearful. And then He teaches us why we don’t need to be afraid.

Still, other times, he will put us face to face with whatever it is that we’re afraid of. And then He will walk us through the difficult process of not only staring that fear in the face, but pushing it back and defeating it once and for all.

Just as each of us is different and unique, so God will also help each of us face and defeat our fears in a way that He knows will truly help us win whatever battle we are fighting with fear.

Why does He do this? Because He has adopted us as His own children. And as our heavenly Father, He wants us to live our lives confident in Him, not running from everything that we come up against.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-18

Luke 12:6-7 (NKJV) 6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Are we afraid today?

Are we fearful about where we are going to live, or where are we going to work?

Are we fearing that we may never marry and have children? Are we fearful about our spouse or our children?

Are we fearful about our own health, etc.?

Today is our day to let go of the fears. That’s right; let them Go!

We were not made to walk in fear of things or situations. We are not expected to carry these burdens alone.

God has not forgotten us. He knows everything that is going on around us and in our lives today.

Don’t fret. Let it go, into the hands of God Almighty, and let Him bring restoration to you.

Isaiah 44:24 (NKJV) 24 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: “I am the Lord, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself…

We are safe. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-7-18

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

There are a lot of intimidating people and situations in this world that we may have to deal with from time to time, and it’s not always easy. Sometimes we will find ourselves panicking because we are not sure what steps to take in handling it properly.

When we panic it causes us to become stressed and anxious. It can exhaust us to the point where we are tired and we may even get depressed. We are worn out and can’t do a thing. We feel we have lost control.

The enemy loves when we reach this point. He thinks he has us eating out of the palm of his hand. This is how he tries to defeat us, as long as we follow along.

As soon as we begin to feel stress and anxiety trying to kick in and take over, that is when we need to be strong, not be afraid, and do our best to resist it. How? We stop letting it control us, and we realize where the attack is coming from. And we say NO!

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

The quicker we pick up on the attack against us, the better our days will be. We can’t let the enemy defeat us.

Be strong, rebuke him in Jesus’ name and enjoy your day. God is with you!
