Category: Staying Close to God

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-20-18

Psalm 91:1-2 (NKJV) 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Dwell means to remain, to live or to direct attention to.

If we remain, live or direct our attention to God, the Most High, He promises we shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

If I could say it how I see it in just three words, I would say “We are SAFE!”. Everyone wants to be safe, right?

The key thing is remaining there. We can’t let ourselves get pulled out, distracted or too busy. We have to spend some quality Father time.

It doesn’t always have to be the same time every day, for the same number of minutes, hours, etc. But, we should be sure to make the time.

Are we arguing a lot in our marriage these days? Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

Are we struggling with work situations? Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

Are we lost in everyday life, confused and feeling like we’re never completing or accomplishing anything? Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

Are we living our life loosely, with no direction and no boundaries? Are we just carefree, doing what we want, not letting anyone tell us anything? If so, our life is probably pretty messed up. Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

God never gives up on us. He is our refuge. Get into that secret place.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-28-18

John 15:7 (NKJV) 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

To abide means to continue in one place. In this scripture, Jesus says to abide where? In Him.

We must continue each day in Him. His word must be in us. That means that we stick to Him like glue and we don’t move away from Him. No matter what comes against us, no matter what we are facing or going through, none of it should move us or separate us from Him.

The devil would love for us to be distracted. Look what we could do if we remained in our walk with Jesus, with no distractions. We would be getting the desires of our heart answered because our desires and focus would be on the things of God.

Let’s start focusing on the things that God says are important and let go of the things that are not. For instance, Jesus healed, delivered and saved the sick. He said the well didn’t need a doctor, so He went to the sick. Don’t be too quick to run away from those that have issues. Those are the very ones that need us and Who we have in us. They are the sick and they need help.

Luke 5:31 (NKJV) 31 Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

Jesus didn’t waste time. He went to those who were ready; ready to receive what He wanted to do in them or in their situation. Being ready is being willing to listen and take action, by faith.

James 1:22 (NKJV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-16

Matthew 13:15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,

When something or someone has grown dull toward anything it means they are not excited about it and have lost interest in it.

This can happen to anyone if we don’t keep ourselves in the word of God. We can grow dull in our hearts toward Him. Our ears will grow hard of hearing and our eyes will close to His word. And the things He wants to show us and do with us will be far from us.

Staying in communication with God is what keeps us walking by His Spirit versus doing whatever we want, whenever we want.

The flesh will pull us in a hundred different directions. And of course, as it is with everything that the flesh likes to do, it’s up to us to say NO and crucify it and its cravings.

Galatians 5:24 (NKJV) 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-15

Matthew 13:22 (NKJV) 22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Have the cares of our situation or the cares of this world been taking us on a little detour away from God?

How about our money, our work or our so-called needs? Are we letting them interfere with what we should be doing as God’s children? Are we letting them lead us, control us and ruin our fruit-bearing?

These things will come and will tempt us and they will try to suck the life, God’s life, right out of us. They will try to get us to the point where we don’t even think about God.

Be careful not to get sidetracked or caught up in these things. It’s not worth it. They don’t bring life, but destruction.

Stay close to God, hear His words and heed His words. Follow Him and He will help us to bear good fruit!!

Matthew 13:23 (NKJV) 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

Let God teach us how to be FRUIT BEARERS! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-20-15

Psalm 119:133 (NKJV) 133 Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.

It’s important that we don’t get so busy and caught up in the things we call “of God” that we don’t pay attention to what He is telling us to do at times.

Most times people start off on the right track and with the right motives. But if we don’t stay close to Him, meaning if we don’t take the time to read His word, take the time to pray and take time to rest, we may find ourselves saying, believing and doing things that are not right and far from His ways.

Draw close to God. No matter what we do, don’t let what we are doing keep us so busy that we don’t have time to stop and listen to Him. Make the time.

It is in His word that we find direction for our lives.
