Bible Verse of The Day – 10-12-23

1 Chronicles 16:34 (NKJV) 34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

For He is good! Amen.

What a God we serve. He is awesome in every way!

I have been learning of and seeing some things these past few months about how powerful God is.

Sometimes He is very quiet but yet still moving in every way. And His promises that are shared throughout His Word are still valid and true today.

He is faithful to take care of whatever needs His attention at any given time. He is there, very much attentive.

He plays a big role in world events.

He is present and active in our personal situations, whether it be marital, family/children, relationships, etc.

He is watching over and involved in church situations.

He is everywhere, Omnipresent!

He is all-knowing, Omniscient!

And He is Almighty God, all powerful, Omnipotent!

Give Him glory today for His mercy endures forever! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-24-23

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.

How hard is it right now to remember the goodness of God?

With all the hardship and changes we see happening, it’s hard for us to reflect on how good it was just a short time ago. I can attest to that.

It’s hard sometimes to feel God’s presence in this messy state of the world right now. It’s hard to hear Him with the atmosphere being so full of demonic oppression.

But don’t lose heart!

Depression tries to come in and causes spiritual blindness. This can cause us to focus only on the difficulties we face every day.

This can cause us to forget the love that He has for us.

But we can’t let that happen.

Let His Spirit rise up on the inside, shaking off the weight of our sadness, and reminding us that He dwells within our hearts; not in what we see happening or in how we feel.

His goodness is an act of love that He did for us personally. While we were still sinners, He demonstrated His goodness by showing us how much He loved us.

Romans 5:8 (NKVJ) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Don’t stop loving each other. Carry out this love even through hardship.

Love and keep loving. His goodness is alive in us and runs through our veins.

Come alive, children of God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-11-22

Psalm 27:13-14 (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.

This verse has recently become more and more meaningful to me.

Why?

Because as we have all faced increasing amounts of evil in our everyday lives, it has magnified the goodness of God in everything that I see.

That may seem counterintuitive, so let me explain.

In the natural, seeing such an explosion of evil at play would normally cause me to become really irritated at the huge amount of injustice we’re seeing.

And it does, in the natural realm.

But as God has taught me and helped me to mature spiritually, the massive presence of evil has caused His goodness to be magnified, giving me a stronger appreciation for who He is.

No, that doesn’t remove the evil presence, and it doesn’t undo what the evil is doing.

But it causes me to change my perspective and stop focusing on the evil, focusing instead on Him and His goodness.

And with that comes a greater joy and a stronger peace that only He can give.

We encourage you to let God do the same for you, giving you peace amid the turmoil that surrounds us, even as the fires of evil rage.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-22

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.

Lately I have been spending a lot of time contemplating and reflecting on the goodness of God

The longer I am alive, the more God’s goodness becomes glaringly obvious to me.

In fact, not only is it more obvious, but it’s becoming more and more impossible to avoid or deny it.

What we are seeing in the world right now is shocking. The amount of evil playing out right before our eyes sometimes leaves me (almost) speechless because of the degree to which it is being taken, and the brazenness of it.

It is shocking. It’s not normal to our senses because we have never been exposed to these levels of evil.

In reality, though, God told us through His prophets that this would happen.

He warned us all about these types of things and these kinds of people.

So, not a single one of us should be surprised by it.

On that note, though, I want to encourage everyone who is reading this.

In spite of all of this evil, God is still the same God He has always been.

And He is still on His throne. He is still in control. Not a single thing that we’re seeing surprises Him.

So, it’s important that we keep our focus on Him through it all.

No, we don’t stick our heads in the sand and pretend it isn’t real. It is real.

But we don’t let it pull us away from God. On the contrary, we let it push us closer to God.

And in that growing closeness we will find our solace; our peace and the answers to our ever-growing list of questions and concerns.

No, we may not understand everything. We may not get answers to every question that we have.

But if we have Holy Spirit-led understanding, that’s enough. Enough to ease our minds and give us rest in Him.

And resting in Him is exactly where we should be.

So, look to Him. Hold fast to Him. And trust Him as you never have before as we walk through these historic, Biblical days.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-21-22

Psalm 9:1 (NKJV) 1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

I will praise You for sure, Lord, and tell of all Your marvelous works. Oh, my Lord is so good!

Look around today and see the goodness of the Lord in the land in which we live. There are good things happening all around us. Growth and beauty everywhere!

We are living in the Southern United States since our move back in December. And boy, the birds here know how to sing. They are loud and beautiful!

I listen to them every morning, noon and night; every chance I get!

It sounds like they are in full praise.

Another thing here is there is lots of vitamin D from the sunshine. It is amazing. And, oh, the heat feels so good!

I have not been in the ocean yet to swim. It is still kind of cold. However, I have put my feet in and splashed it on me and it is so refreshing.

And the sky here is so big!

What I mean by that is that in RI we had a different terrain, with hills and lots of very big trees that covered a lot of the sky. Here it is very flat, so nothing blocks your view of the sky. And oh how pretty the sunsets and sunrises are!

I think we got a little closer to heaven.

God is good! You can find His art work all around us. And it shows His love for us all. His creative hand is everywhere we look.

Take time to admire it and give Him praise for all His marvelous work.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-31-21

Jeremiah 32:17 (NKJV) 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

Nothing is too hard for HIM! Amen.

He made the heavens and the earth by His great power and outstretched arm. Why do we worry? Why do we wonder? Why would we even have any concerns about how things are going to turn out?

Why? Because our first initial fleshly instinct is to do just that; worry!

But in God’s word, He teaches us not to. He tells us that it doesn’t do us any good.

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

If we learn to stay close to Him at all times, we will listen to what He is telling us and trust that He will take care of us.

And if we believe in what He shows us by His Spirit, we will soon see it take place in the natural.

His great power and outstretched arm will reach us right where we are at.

He will help us, and we will look back only to say, “Goodbye” to whatever mountain that needed to be moved!

God is good. There is nothing too hard for Him; not our problem, nor our child’s problem. Not our financial problem, not our trying to find a home to live in problem, etc. None of this is too hard for Him.

Catch your breath today. Sit down and pour out your heart to the ONE who created the heavens and the earth. Let Him go to battle for you.

Exodus 14:14 (NKJV) 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-21

Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

It’s interesting that we are told to meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely and of good report.

Nowadays it is very hard to find such a thing. But it’s out there. And where do we need to keep our eyes and ears? On the good things.

I don’t believe any one of us enjoy listening to negative reports, unless we are the type that enjoys the drama.

And if that’s the case, we’d better check our heart and get things right. Because it’s not the heart of God.

He wants us all to succeed in our walk with Him. He wants to see us all be the head and not the tail. And this is one way to become just that; finding the right things to meditate on.

Stop burying our heads in negativity.

God doesn’t say He wants us to just take a peek at these things. No. He says to really focus on the goodness of the Lord.

Why, because it keeps our heart in the “right place”. The place it needs to be, stable, strong and believing!!

God’s children need to not lose heart in any given situation. We are to remain strong, even if we need to be encouraged by each other from time to time. We’ve got to help each other stand and not lose heart.

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.

Know that God is moving all the time in the land of the living, and He shows up when we least expect it.

We need to be watching, listening and meditating on the goodness of God!

Wow, the things He is doing in this day are amazing! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-12-20

1 Chronicles 16:8 (NKJV) 8 Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!

God is good!

How many today can share something good that God has done for them recently?

I know I can, even during the pandemic and hearing of all the news reports of virus breakouts and the commotion going on here in this country.

He is a good Daddy, a good Papa, a good Lord. And I am so grateful for Him! My Rock and my King!

Let us share His good deeds with those we spend time with. Let us make known the good things He has done for us, today and every day.

He is not sitting still. He is alive and moving among our situations.

I know this old world doesn’t look so pretty right now. And I know that some are feeling depressed over it today. It’s shocking, the change that has hit.

But be assured that the Lord knows just what we are feeling. And guess what! He Has big arms to run to and get a big hug from. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV) 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Don’t be afraid to call upon His name. He will wrap us in His love, fill us with stability and the faith we need to go on.

Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-21-19

John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

His light is perfect. It shines brightly. We cannot miss it if we are paying attention.

I remember as a little girl, my Dad and Mom sent us to Sunday school every week. They would meet us there for Church and then we would meet at home afterward for a big Sunday dinner!

We were a large family. Eleven of us all together at the dinner table. We practically had our own parties!

My Dad would usually make the Sunday dinner and my Mom would assist him. When we sat down, there was always a big bowl of mashed potatoes, a meat of some type, some vegetables and BREAD!

The bread was there in case we were still hungry, even after eating a plateful of the other food. We didn’t usually have many leftovers.

We learned from my parents how to care for a family. We saw the sacrifices they made at times for us children, and when the tough times came, how to get through them.

They always had faith in their good Lord to get us through whatever we faced.

He was their Light, and He became ours as we grew and watched them follow Him. Was our family perfect? Nope.

There is darkness in this world; evil, temptation, pain and hardness all around us.

But as we continue to follow Him, we will live in the Light and life will be good, because He is good!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-18-19

Psalm 23:1 (NKJV) 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

We shall not want.

The Lord is our light, our strength, our refuge and our Rock. He’s merciful, kind, compassionate, and forgiving.

Every good and perfect gift is from Him. He does not change.

He is our Provider. He is patient. He is our Healer, our Shield and the lifter of our heads.

Psalm 3:3 (NKJV) 3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

He is everything we need and more. He sustains us and helps us to see what is important in this life that we live.

This is a journey for all of us, and we must take it seriously. He has a plan and purpose for us while we are here. And as we seek Him, He will lead us through it.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-12-19

Psalm 98:4 (NKJV) 4 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.

Just the other day while driving down the road, I had this overwhelming feeling come over me as to how good God is. Have you ever had that feeling?

You are not thinking about anything in particular, just in the midst of whatever you are doing at that moment, and then bam…it hits you right there!

It was one of the most exciting feelings I have ever felt. Almost surreal. I can’ t even put it in words.

But, when it happens, everything in me wants to shout out with joy!

It’s actually good it happens in the car, since it’s just me and God and I can sing or shout as loud as I want!

The Lord’s love for us alone should make us want to shout every day.

I realize that God puts up with a lot from me. I can be very stubborn, selfish, annoying and so much more at times. But He still is there when I need Him.

Most people would run away saying, ”forget it, they are too much work for me to handle”.

But the Lord, He loves us in spite of our silliness and folly.

Can we give Him a shout out from our hearts today and praise Him? He is good!
