Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-23

Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) 24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Praise Him in the morning. Praise Him in the afternoon, and praise Him at night!

He is so worthy of all our praise.

Today, as I sit out on my porch, it is a beautiful, sunny, warm day. The birds are so pretty to listen to. My Camelia plant is blossoming, and the stillness of the morning is just breathtaking.

What a  gorgeous day here in NC.

I pray that I don’t take it for granted; none of it.

These are our blessings. These are the things that our Father gave to us to enjoy; to have at any time. No matter what our situation is, we will always have this beauty to turn to.

It’s like a warm blanket wrapped tightly around us saying, “I love You!. Enjoy”.

Take a moment and ponder on the beauty and sounds that the Lord God has placed around us.

Look up! Look all around, and see the wonders of creation. And know that it was created for our eyes and ears to behold.

God bless you and your family on this day that the Lord has made.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-22

Proverbs 10:22 (NKJV) 22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

Everyone loves blessings. They bring joy to us when we receive them.

Or it may seem that way at first.

Some blessings turn out not to be what we thought they were initially. Many things have attachments that we were unaware of until it’s too late.

And then that blessing becomes more like a curse.

That’s not so with the blessings of God, though!

The blessings that come from our Father in heaven make us rich.

Now, that doesn’t always refer to monetary wealth. Sometimes the blessings of God are way better than money or tangible things.

God’s blessings can often be things that we may have never thought of. But because He knows us better than we know ourselves, He knows exactly what we need. So, He bestows upon us something that He knows we need, and that He knows will be good for us.

As mentioned in the verse above, He adds no sorrow with it.

This means that it will never cause us any kind of frustration, stress or aggravation. It will bring only good.

It may require responsibility on our part to handle it properly, but the blessing itself will not be problematic.

I don’t know about you, but I prefer the blessings of God over the blessings of the world.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-26-21

Psalm 128:1 (NKJV) 1 Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways.

God’s blessings are probably the most sought after thing in history.

There is nothing better than to be blessed by God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Who could ask for more than that, right?

Well, now that we’ve established that fact, let’s talk about what it takes to actually make it happen.

First, we need to emphasize that making God’s blessings happen should never be a primary goal. If we seek the blessings before the Blesser, our priorities are a bit mixed up.

With that said, how do we accomplish being blessed by God? Is there a “secret formula”?

Well, the answer to that would be no… and yes. Let me explain.

There is no set-in-stone recipe, so to speak, that guarantees it to happen. For example, we know that if we have two eggs and we get two more, we will have 4. That’s an absolute.

But with God, following a set of steps doesn’t always give us absolutes like the 4 eggs.

You see, with God, it’s all about the condition of our heart. God knows our heart better than we know it, and how He blesses us (or not) is very dependent upon our heart.

Look at what He said of David.

Acts 13:22 (NKJV) 22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

And David was a man that God blessed mightily, because of his loyalty and diligence, and the steadfastness that he displayed toward his relationship with God.

So, it’s imperative that we not worry about the blessings. Don’t pursue them.

Pursue God wholeheartedly. The blessings will take care of themselves if/when we’re ready for them.

God knows. He is above our ways and above our thoughts.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-19-20

Psalm 27:13 (NKJV) 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.

He is so good!

As I looked around the room today, gazing at the pictures of my family, why did they stand out today more than they have before?

What was the difference today, compared to other days, when I looked at those very same pictures?

Sometimes we just see things and look right past the blessing of the Lord.

Maybe we have things occupying our thoughts and we just don’t take the time to ponder on things like we should. We see them, but we don’t really SEE them.

This particular day, it was amazing for me. The blessings of the Lord were staring right back at me, very loudly.

The faces of my children, their spouses and our grand babes. And even though we don’t have pictures of you all, you were there too.

You are family to us. Your giving and your kindness wraps around me as a big fluffy blanket on a cold winter day. The warmth and the love that comes from you all is amazing.

Each and every one of you have been divinely connected to us in one way or another. His blessings are far-reaching and are in the lives of those He brings around us.

Blessings are everywhere. We just need to open the eyes of our heart and take a few minutes to acknowledge the goodness of God.

We love you all dearly. You are very precious to us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-29-20

Ephesians 1:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

Without Christ, we are dirty, lost, poor, blind and without hope. We are separated from God, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

But let’s take a look at what happens to us when we become children of God.

Ephesians 1:3 says we are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ!

We are blessed with what? Every spiritual blessing! We are blessed with whatever we need to thrive as a child of God.

So, what are these spiritual blessings?

Salvation, forgiveness, hope, love, joy, direct access to the Father, peace that surpasses understanding, and a list of other blessings too numerous to name are all ours as His children.

The moment we say “yes” to Him and put our faith in Him, these things all become ours, no questions asked.

And do you know what else happens? He removes the blame from us, making us holy in His sight!

Along with receiving forgiveness, we also get the blame removed from us, as our past sin is erased and we are made a holy, new creation in Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

So, if we are struggling today with guilt and shame for our past sins, it’s time to put that behind us and give it to God.

He has already removed it from us. He has made us holy and blameless. It’s up to us to be willing to lay it down and let it go. We don’t need to drag it around with us any longer.

You are holy, and you are blameless, in the name of Jesus.

My Bible Verse of The Day – 5-12-19 – And He Came to Himself

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

And he came to himself. Those were words spoken by Jesus. And it’s also the title of our latest video. 

Jesus shared the story of the prodigal son. In today’s video, we talk briefly about that story, but we focus mainly on the body of Christ and how the story of the prodigal relates to us as a whole, and as individuals. 

We hope this short video will help show each of us where we are at in our walk with God, and where we can make improvements to make that walk stronger.

We hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-28-18 – The Most Important Blessings

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

God gives us so many blessings. There are too many to list. 

But there are a handful of them that are more important than all of the others. We call these “The Most Important Blessings”. And this is the topic of today’s new video. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Many of us have become distracted by many of the lesser blessings and put the most important blessings at a lower level of priority than God intended them to be. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

We took the time to discuss the most important blessings, as well as the lesser blessings, so we can prioritize and make sure we handle things the way God wants us to. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-18

Proverbs 11:25 (NKJV) 25 The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

We may wonder why we are blessed at times. We see good things happening all around us and we are in awe, thinking, “Wow, how very blessed are we! Boy, is God good! Amen”.

This is a good thing. These blessings that we are receiving are, many times, because we have been generous. It’s so important for us to know that when we sow, we will reap.

Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

When we give, when we sow and when we are generous, according to these scriptures, God’s very word, we will reap!

Maybe there is something that God is asking us to do today out of our generosity. Maybe He has been tapping us on our shoulder or prompting us in our spirit man to do something very specific, and we are just ignoring it by keeping ourselves busy and on the go.

I know when God wants me to do something, He keeps reminding me. It doesn’t matter how busy I am. As soon as I get some down time, as soon as things are quiet, there He is;  tappety tap, tap, tap on my shoulder, “Hi, it’s Me, Jehovah, your Daddy”.

He does not do this for His own good. He is watching out for His children and calling us up higher. Because, as we walk in such generosity and sowing of seeds, He promises we will reap from it.

Our Father wants us to reap the good things He has for us! All we need to do is make sure we’re doing what He asks of us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-20-18

Deuteronomy 28:2 (NKJV) 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God…

God wants to bless us. He wants to pour out many different blessings on our lives.

We all want to be blessed. There is not a single person who can honestly say that they do not want to be blessed by God.

The question, though, is this; are we willing to do what God requires us to do so that He can bless us?

Some may think of this as legalistic, or counting on our works as a means of gaining blessings. In reality, though, it is simply following the truth of God’s word.

We are taught throughout His word that we reap what we sow. And so it is with God. We sow, we reap. We obey. We are blessed.

Is that legalistic? Not at all. It’s basic Biblical principals at work. God tells us what to do, why we should do it, and what will happen when we do it.

Then, we do it. And God keeps His promise. Plain and simple.

God speaks only truth. It’s up to us to do what He says. And when we do it, we see results. It’s not us manipulating God or twisting His word.

It’s simply the body of Christ doing what God says we should do. Nothing more, nothing less.

So, do we want to be blessed? Do we want to walk in the abundance of God in every aspect of our lives? Do we want to see God move in every way that He wants to move?

It’s up to us. We choose. We decide how much, or how little, God can move on our behalf and bless us.

We do not follow God simply to receive blessings. But as we do follow God, and we obey the voice of the Lord, He will be faithful to bless us, as He has promised in His word.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-1-17

Psalm 119:2 (NKJV) 2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!

The crucifixion of Christ was more than just a man dying on a cross. His death was for each one of us. It was purposed, it was planned for you and I.

How precious a gift it is. This is something to hold onto and never let go of.

No matter how hard life can be, we are blessed!

We are blessed in that moment of despair.

We are blessed in that moment of loss.

We are blessed in that moment of trial and tribulation.

How can this be? How can we be blessed in moments like these? Because He gave His life for us!

Nothing and no one on this earth can take away our blessing. It’s His gift to us.

We can be in the worst season of our life, but we still remain blessed.

Hallelujah!

Don’t let hard times, despair, loss, or trials and tribulations cause us to lose sight of what Jesus and His Father did for each one of us. They gave us a personalized gift that lasts forever, we are BLESSED!
