  • Bible Verse of The Day – 11-27-19

    John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    If there is one thing we can count on, it’s this; God is so incredibly intricate in His workings that He cannot be comprehended fully by the human mind.

    Now, that might seem like a bad thing because we want to be able to understand Him. In reality, though, it’s not bad at all.

    It simply means that He is more powerful and mighty than we can ever imagine.

    God is bigger than we could ever make up with our own minds. He is bigger than what we can see. He operates in ways that we can’t fully understand.

    And do you know what this means? It means that if we have chosen to put our faith and trust in Him, and to follow Him, He is on our side!

    I’m an analytical type of person. I ponder on things sometimes that can actually make my head hurt because of the depth of them. Not physically hurt, but in an intangible kind of way, because sometimes for just a split second, I will see and begin to comprehend the depth of God.

    And that right there blows my mind. The depth of God. It blows my mind when I even start to comprehend it.

    So, why should this get us excited?

    Because we have the wonder of this incredible God backing us up, supporting us, directing us, leading us and guiding us. He has made it possible for us to be adopted by Him, making this mighty, incredible God our very own Father!

    And, if that’s the case, what do we have to fear? What do we have to worry about?

    Nothing.

    That might seem oversimplified. Because if we look at things through our human eyes, there certainly seems to be an unlimited number of things that worry us.

    But that’s the problem right there; looking at everything through human eyes.

    We need a change in direction. We need to let God teach us His ways, allowing Him to transform us by the renewing of our minds. This helps us to put our old ways behind and begin to walk in His ways.

    Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

    Go ahead. Trust Him. We dare you.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-19

    Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

    Have you ever stopped and wondered why there are so many people who just plain refuse to acknowledge that God is real?

    Most of the time it’s because they just can’t understand Him.

    Oh, it’s not really that they can’t understand Him. It’s more that they can’t comprehend how He could be real.

    They can’t fathom how He could speak the world into existence. They can’t understand how He could make a man from dirt and breathe life into him. They can’t grasp the fact that He made everything that we see, hear and smell.

    It just doesn’t make sense to them! And because it doesn’t make sense to them, they refuse to accept it as truth.

    The problem is that they are trying to understand it with their natural minds. They are trying to grasp Someone who is bigger than their minds can think. So, in their minds, it can’t possibly be true or real.

    And that’s because He is bigger than our minds! Not a single one of us can truly comprehend God with our natural minds. But the cool part is that He doesn’t ask us to.

    Instead, He reveals Himself to us by His spirit. And it is only by Him that we can see past our finite minds and see the infinite possibilities that He is who He says He is!

    And it’s important that we remember that this applies to every one of us. Had God not revealed Himself to us, we would be just as blind as the unbeliever and the scoffer.

    It is by His grace and mercy that we are called His children. Amen.
