Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-12

(John 16:21 NKJV)  “A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

Some of us are struggling today because we know that we have to face some major decisions. We have to choose Christ’s way and not our own way.

Part of us wants to cry and run because we know it won’t be easy, but the other part of us knows it is the right thing to do and there is no use in prolonging it.

Today, choose Christ’s way. No matter how hard it may seem, it will be well worth it and joy will come!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-12

(John 4:24 NKJV)  “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

God is Spirit. He is not flesh and bone. He does not operate under fleshly principles and He is not limited to doing things in a way that our minds can comprehend or make sense of.

If we keep this in mind and truly grasp the fact that He is not bound by or limited by our understanding, we will also begin to realize that our relationship with Him is not based on intellect.

There is a large part of the bride of Christ that is so caught up in studying and trying to fully comprehend His word and His ways, that they miss God when it comes to spiritual things.

We are definitely told to study the scripture and know what it says, but we are not to limit our understanding of God or our relationship with God to what we can comprehend or understand.

God is way too big for us to ever fully understand, and it is here that we are to rely on faith and take Him at His word, even if we don’t always fully understand it.

Let God open your spiritual eyes and see Him in His truth, and don’t fret if you can’t always understand everything with your natural mind.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-28-12

(2 Sam 5:19 NKJV)  So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” And the LORD said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

David inquired of the Lord. He asked God, should I go up against the Philistines? What did God do for David? He answered him.

Are you looking for an answer from God today? Have you gotten your answer? If not, keep inquiring until you know what God is telling you. God is faithful to answer us just like He did David, and He will lead us in the right direction.

David asked God for direction. He didn’t jump out. He didn’t just try it and think that if it works then good, if not then I’ll know that I shouldn’t have done it.

The most important thing for all of us to know is that God is here for US! He will give us the answers we need. Wait on HIM and get His answer.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-12

(Rom 8:12-14 NKJV)  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors; not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. {13} For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. {14} For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Wanting to do the right things daily, not just making good decisions, but God decisions, takes walking by His Spirit. It takes keeping our will under control and letting God’s will rise up in us. It takes us giving God freedom in us and and letting His Spirit, lead us.

If we think that God’s Spirit does not lead us then we are misled. We need to understand that He will guide us and lead us everyday. We can’t do it by our own power and intellect. If we try to do this, we will fail.

Walking by the Spirit brings change in us and the way we do things… period. We will live, as we allow God to move in us.
