  • Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-26

    Psalm 63:1-2 (NKJV) 1 O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. 2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

    Early will I seek You.

    This is something I try to do each day. And the older I get, the more I try to get up even earlier, so I don’t get distracted with other things.

    The day will take over our time if we don’t stay determined and focused.

    I love how David says his soul thirsts for God.

    Have you ever felt like this? Where you needed to get with God, but everything kept taking up your time and before you knew it, another hour or day has gone by?

    David is showing how much He needs God in that hour.

    He says his flesh longs in a dry and thirsty land! He then shows us the intensity of it. What does he say? Where there is NO water.

    But, there’s nothing there that will satisfy his thirst.

    Where does he find God? In the sanctuary! That is symbolic of the place where we keep Him dear, hidden in our hearts.

    That is where it all happens. We reach the point where we humbly seek Him with all our heart and let it all out before Him.

    Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

    Things happen to us in life. Our hearts can become hard over time. And we may not hear or feel God’s presence in certain seasons.

    But as we lay down the hard stuff that has taken its toll, He will be there to pick up the pieces and put them back together again.

    Let us cry out today as David did. Our soul thirsts for You, Lord.

    Amen 🙏🏻

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-15-22

    Matthew 6:31-32 (NKJV) 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

    We hope you’ve been enjoying this teaching series so far. Let’s get started with the final segment.

    In verse 31, above, Jesus once again tells the people not to worry. By now He has made it abundantly clear that worrying is not something good.

    Now, take note of something important that will help us bring all of this full circle.

    As we wrapped up part 3, yesterday, we made it a point to mention that Jesus wanted them to understand the importance of trusting in God instead of worrying about “these things”.

    “These things” is quoted for a reason; to help draw attention to that two-word phrase that Jesus used in verse 36, where He told us that if we seek first the kingdom of God, all of “these things” shall be added to you.

    Do you see where we’re going with this?

    When Jesus said that “all these things shall be added to you”, He was referring specifically to the things that he had just spoken about seconds earlier; food, drink and clothing.

    He wanted them to understand that if they put God first, making a sincere and honest effort seeking Him and His kingdom, instead of spending countless hours worrying about things that were not as important, God would supply their needs.

    And He did this by using examples of things they were already familiar with, such as birds, flowers and grass.

    So, if we go back to Matthew 6:33, where we started in part 1, and we consider the words of Jesus, “all these things shall be added to you”, what are the things that will be added to us if we seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness first, before everything else?

    All our basic needs; food, drink, clothing. All the things that are necessary for our survival and overall wellbeing.

    It’s not about riches, material possessions, luxuries or any other such things.

    It’s the food we eat, the liquids we need to drink and the clothes we need to cover our bodies.

    And what is required of us that we will be supplied with these things by our heavenly Father? That we seek Him and His righteousness first!

    We hope you’ve enjoyed and learned from this series.

    We love you all!

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-14-22

    Matthew 6:26 (NKJV) 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

    Welcome back!

    As we wrapped up yesterday’s segment, we had mentioned that Jesus was assuring the people they need not worry about what they would eat or drink, in verse 25.

    Jesus took it one step further in verse 26 (above), by using birds as an example.

    He drew the people’s attention to the fact that birds neither sow nor reap, yet they are fed and adorned by God himself.

    If that’s true, and if we are of more value than the birds, then we should not worry about how our own needs will be supplied.

    He then went on to ask people what they gain by worrying.

    Matthew 6:27 (NKJV) 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

    It’s important to note that although the word, “cubit”, is normally used to measure length, it is also used to measure time.

    So, Jesus isn’t really asking if worrying can make a person taller. He’s rhetorically asking if worrying will add any days to your life!

    We all know the answer to that question.

    Then, in verse 28, He goes on to ask, “why do you worry about clothing?”, stating that, “the lilies of the field neither toil nor spin” and “even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these”.

    As with the birds being fed by God, He exclaimed in verse 30 that if the flowers and grass are so adorned, why should we worry about what we will wear.

    It was becoming very clear that Jesus wanted them to understand the importance of trusting in God instead of worrying about “these things”.

    Let’s wrap this up tomorrow!

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-13-22

    Matthew 6:24 (NKJV) 24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

    Greetings! Thanks for joining us again today for our study on Matthew 6:33.

    In order to fully understand Matthew 6:33’s “and all these things shall be added to you” statement, we need to go backwards a bit and look at what Jesus discussed prior to saying that.

    That is, after all, what He was referring to.

    The things that we’re studying were part of what is frequently referred to as, “The Beatitudes”, a lengthy teaching of Jesus that touched on many different topics that affect everyone’s lives.

    As you can see above, Jesus stated that we cannot serve two masters. We cannot serve God and mammon (money, riches, wealth).

    Based on this, it should be easily deduced that when Jesus referred to all the things being “added to you”, He wasn’t referring to riches. To assume that putting God first would cause us to become laden with riches is counterintuitive.

    Contrary to what some might say, Matthew 6:33 is not telling us that if we seek God, we will become wealthy.

    Our relationship with God is not about what we can get from Him, but about what we give to Him; mainly ourselves, in the form of adoration and reverence toward Him.

    With that said, what did He mean? What was He really referring to?

    Jesus was trying to assure people that God is bigger than all their concerns, fears and problems.

    In verse 25 He told them, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink“.

    You see, these are the things that most people worry and fret about. It is important, after all, to have food to eat, right?

    We can all relate to this, especially if we have ever gone through any kind of bad financial situation. Those kinds of things will put us to the test when it comes to our faith and trust in God.

    We hope you’ll join us tomorrow for part 3 of the study of Matthew 6:33!

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-12-22

    Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

    This is a popular, well-known scripture. For some, it is their favorite verse in the entirety of the Bible. For others, maybe it’s their favorite words of Jesus.

    There’s a good reason for this, since it is based on powerful Biblical truths.

    But there is so much more to this verse than many of us realize. So, over the next few days, let’s do a little deep dive to give us understanding as to all that it means.

    As we begin, my absolute favorite part is the first part, where we are instructed to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness”.

    This one phrase is really a summation of everything God wants from us; to put Him first in everything.

    When He tells us to seek Him first, the word, “first” is literal, not symbolic or metaphoric.

    When God says, “seek first the kingdom”, He means first, not second, third or somewhere further down our list of things to do.

    This ties into many other things that God tells us about building and growing our relationship with Him.

    In Jeremiah 29:13, He tells us that we will find Him when we seek Him with our whole heart.

    James 4:8 tells us that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us.

    Many other scriptures will tell us the same thing.

    What does this mean? It means that as we put God first, we will strengthen our relationship with Him.

    And as we do that (put Him first), He will reward us. As the verse above says, “all these things shall be added to you”.

    Tomorrow we will discuss what “these things” are. We hope you’ll join us!

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-8-22

    Psalm 119:18 (NKJV) 18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

    It’s important that we ask God to open our heart, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, to the message of the scriptures. We need to understand what it is that He is showing us at times, so we’re not just reading for the sake of reading.

    His word is alive!

    We gain so much from reading, studying and spending time with Him.

    We can get so caught up in our own problems, and the problems of others, that we forget where the answers lie for those problems.

    That’s exactly what the devil wants for us; to fail and to give up. He wants us to make the wrong choices and to head down a road of destruction. That is his goal for us.

    John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

    But if we allow God to open our eyes to His laws and His truth, He will teach us how to avoid the road of destruction, and we will be on a road of victory!

    The Holy Spirt will forever guide us through the scriptures and give us understanding in every area of our life.

    We must set our whole heart like a flint to seek Him and His wonderful law.

    Psalm 119:2 (NKJV) 2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 6-7-22

    Matthew 7:7 (NKJV) 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

    Ask.

    One of the most important things in this life as a believer is knowing God’s promises for us and learning how to ask for them on a personal level.

    In order for any of His promises to happen, we must be in agreement with Him for them to come to pass in our lives.

    We don’t demand and we don’t command. We simply ask and respectfully (reverently) wait for His timing and His way of accomplishing it.

    Seek.

    How does one seek after God?

    Again, we prayerfully go to and wait on Him.

    We seek Him through reading His word. And throughout our day we seek Him by listening, letting Him help us discern the things that we need to see and understand.

    Sincerely seeking Him will give us His answers.

    Knock, and it will be open!

    Simply go toward whatever God has put in front of us and follow through.

    One thing I find interesting is the order they are in. Ask, seek and knock.

    I find knocking doesn’t seem to do me a bit of good if I have not done both of these things first.

    We must ask to start the process or get the ball rolling, so to speak.

    Once the process has begun (we’ve asked), it doesn’t mean that whatever we are asking for will pop out of thin air.

    Instead, it should cause us to want to seek after God for confirmation and further instructions.

    It’s very important to know what steps to take, the timing and the knowhow to see it through, etc.

    And then we come to the end and bring it home by knocking or “following through” with faith, wisdom and understanding. He will lead us each step of the way.

    Praise God!

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 5-6-22

    Psalm 14:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

    Years ago, there was a song that was made popular on mainstream secular radio stations called, “From a Distance”.

    The song talked about God looking down and watching us, from a distance.

    I haven’t listened to secular radio for more than 25 years. But I had heard of this song when it was popular, and I despised it.

    Why? Because it painted a picture of God as some aloof, uncaring figurehead who never interacted with humans, but simply watched from a distance in some strange, warm and fuzzy kind of way.

    The truth is, though, that God loves and thrives on His relationship with us.

    The verse above tells us that God does, in fact, look down upon us. But not in a disconnected sort of way.

    He looks down upon “the children of men” (human beings). And this is where it gets interesting.

    Why does He look down upon you and I? To see if there are any who understand, and who seek Him.

    This is what God desires; that we seek Him, and that we get understanding about His ways.

    And that is the core of our spiritual growth.

    If we seek Him, and we get understanding, we will have no choice but to grow and mature.

    As we grow and mature, what used to seem illogical and impossible to our human minds now becomes part of our everyday thinking and understanding.

    And this blows the warm and fuzzy version of God right out of the water. Wouldn’t you agree?

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-22

    Amos 5:4 NKJV) 4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live;

    “Seek Me and Live” are words that we need to pay close attention to, and heed in our own lives.

    God spoke these words to the nation of Israel centuries ago through the prophet, Amos. But they are still very relevant today.

    It is our seeking after God that brings life to us. God is life, and it is through Him that we obtain life, both here on earth and for eternity.

    These words are not a one-time occurrence. God urges us throughout His word to seek Him. This alone should show us the importance of what he is telling us to do.

    And here’s the best part of this seeking endeavor; when we actually begin to seek Him, walking it out daily in our lives, we will begin to see the fruits of it.

    Our heart will change. Our thinking will change. And, ultimately, our lives will change.

    When we seek Him, and He begins to touch our lives, we can’t help but change.

    So, we implore you today, that if you are not putting the time and effort into genuinely, wholeheartedly seeking Him, start doing so today.

    Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

    Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

    Amen.

    This is a promise from God.

    These words are for us to hold onto when things don’t look good around us, when financial setbacks hit home, when we get a bad test result, when our children begin to rebel or get on a wrong path or when our marriage starts to get rocky.

    Remember, God is there for us as we seek Him and His kingdom first.

    Worrying won’t do us a bit of good. Don’t fret. either. That will cause us to have anxiety, which leads to other health issues.

    Seek God in the storm. Seek God in the valley, when things are low. Seek God when you are on the mountain, and shout out His goodness to all those that have ears to hear.

    If we follow His words, we will walk in His promises. We are God’s children. And as we seek His kingdom, we will be OK. Hallelujah!
