Bible Verse of The Day – 10-18-16

Psalm 31:3 (NKJV) 3 For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

This very day is here once in our lifetime. God made this day for us to enjoy, for us to be a blessing to others, to make a good or positive difference wherever we go. Wherever we step foot, we are to be a light, to bring life and hope into any dark area.

As we let God lead us today and throughout the week, listen for the voice that is crying out for help. Watch for the one that is lonely and helpless. Look beyond what we may be going through in our own personal lives and let God show us the things we are missing out on; loving others.

Don’t pass by, hoping that someone else will do it. Step up to the plate and be who God made us to be.

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

That’s right, through Jesus Christ, we are more than conquerors. We will get through what we are dealing with and help others to get through theirs as well!

For God is our ROCK and Fortress. He will lead us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-30-16

Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Selfishness. It’s something that we all wrestle with on one level or another. It’s always easier to think of ourselves than to put others first.

But Jesus was the epitome of being selfless. He put Himself after everyone, to the point of dying for us all. And not only did He die for us, but He died the cruelest of deaths on a Roman cross.

As followers of Christ, we should be emulating Jesus, following in His footsteps. Our lives should be using His life as an example of selflessness. We should make an extra effort to put others first, even when it’s not convenient for us.

Because, let’s face it, putting ourselves first is always easier and more convenient.

And as we follow His example, we will shine His light and show His love to others. This is how we show who God is. This is how hearts and lives are changed, when they see God in us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-17-15

Matthew 9:11 (NKJV) 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Jesus spent time with those who were open and willing to listen to Him, it didn’t matter what they had done, what they had been through or where they came from. He’d spend time with them.

The Pharisees didn’t get it and questioned His disciples. So Jesus answered them.

Matthew 9:12 (NKJV) 12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

There are people that know they need help and want it and there are people that need help but refuse it. He went to the ones who wanted it.

Let us reach out to those that need help and are willing to receive it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-22-15

Psalm 63:7 (NKJV) 7 Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

God will use us to help others in times of need. He will also use others to help us when we need it.

Yesterday I was out and about with my daughter, running errands. We stopped in at a local coffee shop. An elderly woman came in and bought a Latte. Within a few seconds, it was all over her and the floor.

She went up to the counter to ask for help.They handed her a cloth.

My daughter, noticing that she was troubled, went over to help her.

It was on her clothes, shoes, purse, chair and floor.  As my daughter helped her, she heard the woman say, “these are my new shoes.”

My daughter just sympathized with her and said, “I know”. She could tell it was really upsetting the lady.

A lady that worked there heard it as well, so she ran in the back to get some wipes that had a strong cleaner in them. Thankfully, the woman was able to get it all off her “New” shoes.

After all that, the woman sat down and enjoyed her latte!

I know this may seem like a little thing to some, but even in those little things, God will send His help. And He will use us sometimes to be that help for others in need.

Rejoice in Him today. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-16-15

Matthew 25:37-39 (NKJV) 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’

Taking time to care for our needs is important and God wants us to do that. The thing to watch out for is spending all of our time on our needs and not having or paying attention to the needs of others.

Every day that goes by there is someone that is in need of something, somewhere. It could be something big or something small; we just never know.

Last week as I was at the local Post Office, I noticed that the Postmaster was outside, clearing brush and cleaning up the parking lot.

He stopped me to say hello and asked how I was doing. I noticed he was hot and red as a beet, from working hard. I looked at the time and realized he was working through his lunch break.

As I drove away, I knew I needed to get him something to eat and drink.

So, after finding the nearest place, I grabbed him lunch and a drink. It probably only took me about 15 minutes of my day. I went back and dropped it off and he was so thankful, and then I was on my way.

As I pulled away I heard God say, “you touched him in the deepest part of his heart.”

The next day I went in to pick up my mail and he said, “thank you so much, you saved my life. I got into that project and it was bigger than I thought. Thank you Pastor so much, it meant a lot.”

You see, I may not have literally saved this man’s life, but he was truly grateful. God knew what he needed and He personally touched this man’s heart that day through my hands.

Giving God our hands and our time not only touches the hearts of others, but it touches the heart of God as well!! Amen.

Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
