Bible Verse of the Day

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 6-3-24

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

    The world has a way of trying to wear us down.

    Each day presents new challenges that can easily affect our walk with God if we allow them to.

    We feel peer pressure to conform. We are inundated with the perversions of the world. We are enticed with ideas that are contrary to God’s word and His ways.

    The list of things we battle each day is endless.

    The battles that we face individually will vary from one person to the next, all the while sharing a common thread with every believer; to derail our walk with God and destroy our faith in Him.

    That is the single goal of the enemy of our souls.

    How we handle this onslaught is a choice we make day by day, minute by minute. And the decisions we make will affect our future battles.

    How we choose today will impact every day thereafter, sometimes creating a domino effect, for the good or for the bad.

    Now, that may sound gloomy. It may make us feel like it is a battle that we can never win.

    But we can win!

    David cried out in the verse above, asking God to create in him a clean heart, and renew within him a steadfast spirit.

    David understood what was required to live a life that was pleasing to God.

    He knew that only God could change His heart and make his spirit steadfast (faithful, devoted, loyal, true, etc.).

    So, he leaned completely on God to make him who he needed to be to carry out the tasks that God had set before him in a way that pleased God and brought glory and honor to Him.

    There is much we can learn from David.

    Humility is one of the biggest factors that made Him who He was. He knew he was frail as a human, so He cried out to God frequently, asking for His help.

    Let us also do the same, keeping ourselves humble before God, allowing Him to lead us, guide us, and correct us when we need it.

    In doing this, we will find satisfaction and peace that the world could never offer us.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 11-7-23

    John 13:12 (NKJV) 12 So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?

    I find it interesting that Jesus asked this question, “do you know what I have done to you?”.

    It’s always important to know why Jesus did what He did.

    He never said or did something without a reason.

    Even today in our personal lives, everything He does for us has a meaning to it. We should know why, and if we don’t know, we need to find out.

    After washing their feet, Jesus wanted to know if the disciples knew what He had just done to them.

    Why?

    Because if they truly knew what He had done, it would be because they had a deep understanding.

    They would see beyond the simple act of foot washing and understand the true meaning behind it, and they would walk it out in their own lives.

    If we went to a class and were taught all day long, but we didn’t understand what we were being taught, what good would it do us?

    It wouldn’t do us any good!

    We would have knowledge but no understanding to use it properly and make a difference with it.

    Not knowing why we do what we do is pointless.

    Jesus was setting an example for them.

    He, being their teacher, was serving them by washing their feet. His example was to teach them humility and servanthood, two things all believers need to walk in.

    We need to keep this position in our hearts no matter who we are or become.

    John 13:15 (NKJV) 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

    Washing someone’s feet is a humbling task to perform, and also very humbling to receive if we have the right heart.

    It’s in this state of humility we must remain in all that we do.

    Jesus doesn’t expect us to go around literally washing feet all day. It’s about the state of our heart, where we must remain humble as we do the work of God.

    We should not expect others to serve us. We need to take that role and be the servant we have been shown and called to be.

    Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-23

    Luke 14:11 (NKJV) 11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

    Being humble simply means that we don’t think of ourselves as being better than anyone else. And that is a good thing.

    Holding ourselves accountable to God will nip this right in the bud. But if we don’t stay accountable to Him, pride can very easily creep in. And it will not be good.

    Pride opens the door to destruction.

    Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

    Are we walking around with a haughty spirit, and wondering why we are not moving forward?

    Maybe we have been waiting and waiting on some answers, but we have been prideful in many ways. God cannot exalt us if we already hold ourselves up higher than others.

    It’s time to come down off that ladder and start by acknowledging that we aren’t any better than anyone else no matter what we possess, no matter what we’ve accomplished and no matter where we stand.

    Let God deliver us from arrogance, pride and a haughty spirit today. Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 8-22-22

    Psalm 149:4 (NKJV) 4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.

    Humility is such an important quality that God’s word says He actually rewards it.

    In fact, there are 3 different scriptures (Proverbs 3:34, James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) which state that He opposes the proud, “but gives grace to the humble”.

    What is humility and how do we develop it?

    Stated very simply, humility is defined as: a modest view of one’s own importance.

    Many people often mistakenly assume that humility is a negative thing, especially when discussing self-esteem.

    But we need to understand that self-esteem is not a Biblical principle. It is worldly and revolves around pride.

    So, how is humility developed?

    Sometimes it is taught to us by our parents. This might be done by them telling us not to be proud or haughty. Sometimes it comes by watching their example as they walk it out in their own lives.

    Most often, though, we learn humility through being humiliated; shown that we were wrong.

    This doesn’t necessarily mean that someone purposely embarrasses us. But that we learn lessons from the mistakes and poor choices that we make. And by seeing that we have made poor choices, which result in less than ideal things happening in our lives, we become more humble.

    We learn from our mistakes and we understand that we don’t always have the right answers.

    This is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. But over time we understand that being willing to admit that we’re wrong and humbly accept our faults will make us less apt to be proud and haughty.

    This puts us on a path to pleasing God and being rewarded by Him as well.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 2-8-22

    James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

    This is one of the most crucial things we can learn to do as a believer. Being sincerely humble in His sight will cause things to change.

    It can’t be fake. It can’t be temporary. It has to be sincere and consistent.

    As believers of our Lord and Savior, we must understand the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to help us remain in such a place in our heart.

    Walking in humility is letting go of things we once had control of, and allowing God to teach us a whole new way of doing things.

    We let Him be our leader. We talk to Him and ask Him to guide our steps.

    We have seen some awesome things take place because we have allowed God to be the leader of this ministry and over our personal lives as well.

    Our heart is to serve Him and do it His way. We don’t chase after our desires any longer. We long to see His desires come to pass.

    Tremendous things take place when we walk out humility. When it is functioning and moving in our hearts, God will touch every area of our lives.

    We love you all dearly, and we are believing that God is touching your heart right now.

    Let Him lead us toward what we need to let go of, and let Him have it fully. Follow Him through, and our situation will change. Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 11-20-21

    James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

    How do we remain humble?

    We keep ourselves accountable to God’s word. By doing so our attitude, our disposition, our whole being and the way we carry ourselves will be subject to Him.

    Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

    Pride is one of the things that the enemy will use to get a believer off course. It will cause great destruction in our life if we don’t catch it and deal with it immediately.

    The best way to deal with anything is to be truthful with ourselves, recognize what we are doing and allow God to correct us as His child. He will show us how to get free from it and bring us back to the place we need to be in Him.

    Hebrews 12:7 (NKJV) 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

    He loves us dearly and will help us and keep us safe in our walk as we humbly stay surrendered to Him.

    Do we want to be lifted up today? Pay attention to our behavior patterns, specifically pride, and let God grow us into humble believers.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 7-8-19

    James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

    It’s not very often that we think of God exalting us. Usually we think more of us exalting God.

    But there are definitely times when God exalts us or lifts us up. Let’s take a look at this and see what we can get from it.

    First, God specifies who He will lift up. Who would that be? Those who humble themselves in His sight.

    God wants us to be humble. Humility has many benefits, whereas pride has many downfalls.

    Now let’s look at why God would lift us up or exalt us.

    He wants us to exemplify Christ. And He wants us to bring glory and honor to His name. It’s hard for us to do this if we are haughty, conceited or prideful.

    Prideful people aren’t typically received well by others. People who think more highly of themselves than they should will tend to repel people, rather than attract them.

    On the other hand, people who are humble will usually tend to attract others.

    But wait. Does it really matter if we’re popular with others or not?

    No. Not really. This isn’t about being popular. It’s about being a representative of God on the earth. We can’t represent God very well if people tend to stay away from us because of pride.

    Because of this, it’s important that we let God show us where pride might be lurking in our lives, so we can let Him help us root it out.

    In the long run, as we become humbler, more Christlike, we will begin to be able to see God work in our lives on a larger scale.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 7-5-19

    James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

    We often hear about making sure we lift God up and exalt Him. And so it should be. After all, He is God, right?

    But did you know that there are times when God lifts us up and exalts us?

    Yep! His word says so!

    Now, this doesn’t mean that we should get prideful and puffed up about it. On the contrary, we need to be humble. If we are not humble, God will never even consider lifting us up.

    It’s our pride that keeps us from being close to God. And it will be our pride that causes us to fall if we don’t keep it in check.

    But God loves humility. He loves it so much that He says He will lift us up and exalt us if we’re humble.

    Luke 18:14 (NKJV) 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

    It’s safe to say that if God takes humility seriously, then we should also!
