Bible Verse of The Day – 12-8-25

James 1:13 (LSB) 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

Humanity has a sin problem.

The perpetual wrestling match between man and sin has been happening since the beginning of time.

Temptation comes to everyone. Not one of us is exempt.

But each of us handles it differently.

Some seem to fall easily, never reaching a point in their lives where they can stand in the face of temptation and defeat it. They fall repeatedly.

But others defeat it more frequently. And to outsiders watching from a distance, it may seem that these people have it all together because they seemingly never fall.

Why is that?

To be brutally honest, those who cave in to temptation less frequently have learned how to walk away from sin.

Does this mean they are better people?

No. It means they have come to understand what it is that causes them to sin. And they have surrendered that part of themselves to God. They have allowed Him to teach them how to turn and walk away.

They have given Him their loyalty, their allegiance, their whole heart. And they have allowed Him to mold them, shape them, and train them in the ways of righteous living.

And though this may appear from the outside to be easy, it is not, especially in the beginning.

It is a lifelong endeavor that requires dedication, purposeful surrender, and wholehearted loyalty to God.

Anything less than full, unconditional surrender will result in failure.

This is something that we all need to learn and understand more fully.

So, let’s talk more tomorrow.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-6-25

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

Because we live in the world, it will take up much of our time if we don’t set the boundaries. Without those boundaries, the time we spend “trying to seek God” or being with Him will be next to nothing.

Seeking God and His righteousness first will bring a sense of stability and peace. Why? Because as we obey God with this verse, He promises us that all these things shall be added to us.

How do we seek Him? Through prayer, reading His word, and praise and worship.

Let’s talk about what happens when we spend time with God in prayer, in His word, and when we praise and worship Him.

It’s through prayer we can approach Him; He will give us guidance and provision as we cry out to Him.

Praying causes our faith to become stronger. It helps us to do things we never thought we could do as we learn through answered prayers how to trust Him more.

Praying will help us if we have anxiety. It actually causes worrying to subside because our faith grows as we spend time with Him.

Most importantly, prayer helps us build and strengthen our relationship with God.

Reading God’s word is just as crucial.

It will help us to grow spiritually, gain wisdom, and it provides us with comfort. These things strengthen us.

His word guides us in our daily lives, helping us to make right choices.

Reading God’s word also helps sharpen our discernment.

It brings peace and gives us much hope.

Praising and worshiping Him will draw us into His presence. And we will feel our burdens lifted as we surrender and we melt into His arms.

God is faithful to show up. And oh, what a difference it will make in our daily activities.

Call time out today. Seek after Him, and watch how things will change!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-5-25

Colossians 3:17 (LSB) 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

With the depth and mystery that is the word of God, sometimes we need to take time to recognize the simpler things.

The simplicity of the statement in this verse is often lost to us, so let’s remember it today.

Whether we are carrying out our daily routines, working for our employer, interacting with people in the various places we pass through over the course of the day, or simply passing by someone on a road or highway, let us do it all in a way that brings glory and honor to our God, and our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Let us remember Who we serve, and Who we represent as we live our lives.

And let us also be thankful to Him in all that we do, recognizing His provision and His sovereignty in everything.

Without Him, we can do nothing.

But with God, all things are possible 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-4-25

Colossians 3:12 (LSB) 12 So, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience;

Paul says here to “put on” these particular attributes.

Just as we get dressed in the morning, and prepare for the day ahead, we must also walk in these things that Paul talks about.

These virtues and moral qualities must be readily activated in us.

We should not leave home without being prepared to act with compassion toward others. Make sure our antennas are alert and on guard to show kindness.

Be willing to walk in humility. Let gentleness guide our responses.

And let us not forget to be patient toward others.

That one, oh boy, we must make sure we step back and breathe before we say or do something we regret.

Being patient takes a lot of discipline. But it is well worth every bit of effort that it takes to exercise and strengthen that muscle within us.

Now, how do we get dressed as a believer?

We prepare ourselves by asking the Holy Spirit to help us walk in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, keeping them dear to our hearts.

Even if other aspects of our day don’t go as planned, let us remain steadfast and immovable as we walk in His character; our labor is not in vain, but abounding in the work of the Lord!

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV) 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-25

John 14:6 (LSB) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.

In all the varied messages we hear throughout our lifetimes, there is one thing that we need to remember.

Jesus is the ONLY way.

We may hear different messages across many denominations, religions, philosophies, etc. Some of them may claim that there are many ways to have a relationship with God and enter into heaven.

But Jesus shattered these false statements when He spoke the words above.

There is ONE way to the Father. And He is that way.

It is never Jesus plus anything. It is never Jesus alongside manmade ideas. It is never Jesus and anyone.

It is JESUS only, for eternity.

Jesus shed His blood for the sins of man.

Through Jesus the worlds were created.

And by faith in Jesus, we are redeemed and washed clean, made new creations.

So be careful that no one ever convinces you otherwise. And if they try, turn and walk away.

There is, and will always be, One Way; Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-25

Psalm 37:25 (NKJV) 25 I was young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his seed begging bread.

Today, I want to take a moment and just thank God for being God in my life.

At 61 years of age I have seen some things, done some things, broken some things, and fixed some things.

But as I have leaned on Him, He has seen me through each and every situation. He has taught me how not to continue down a road of destruction and carelessness.

When we look back at the person we were, then to the person God changed us into, we will gasp at the ignorance we once walked in.

It will humble us knowing that without God, this is who we would still be without His mercy, grace, and provision.

I never had to beg Him for anything. He has carried me, provided for me, chastened me, and loved me.

Even when I was at my worst, He bought me! With His life, He saved me. He paid a very big price indeed!

Thank you, Lord. You are worthy to be praised and lifted High, above all else 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-1-25

Hebrews 3:12-13 (LSB) 12 See to it brothers, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

As followers of Christ, we are given many admonitions in the word of God.

One of those admonitions is that we should warn each other and hold each other accountable as fellow believers.

This is not for the purpose of scolding each other, but to encourage and strengthen each other in the faith.

We are to hold each other accountable, so our hearts do not become hardened by sin and its deceitfulness, causing us to fall away.

Our relationship with God is the most important undertaking of our lifetimes.

It is not simply a religious practice. It is not (should not be) a ritual. It is not (should not) be built on rote, mechanical behaviors that lack passion or heartfelt fervor.

It is when those things happen that we lose the flame in our relationship with God.

They creep in gradually, subtly, and as time goes by, the strength of that love wavers, and it slowly begins to fade.

It is for this reason that we are to encourage each other and hold each accountable.

And it is with this heart that we speak to you today.

Hold fast. Don’t let the cares and worries of this world dull your spirit and allow your love for God to be slowly, subtly extinguished.

Don’t let sin come in and drive a wedge between you and the One who redeemed you.

The temporary illusion of pleasure that comes with sin is not worth risking falling away, destroying your relationship with Yahweh, the One who loves us beyond comprehension.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-29-25

Matthew 7:29 (LSB) 29 for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

We are living in a time where things can be very difficult for believers.

We must truly pull on God for His words to be heard through us.

We may quickly spot things that are not right; we don’t have to look too far these days. And our response to what we see and hear is crucial.

We prove who we are by the reaction we give.

The Holy Spirit living in us is the same authoritative voice who will help us to excel in such reactions. We will even be shocked at times at what comes from our hearts. God is always ready for the right reaction that is needed, we just need to obey.

Jesus always had the perfect response at any given time.

Why?

Because although He was a combination of flesh and Spirit, He remained a perfect man through obedience. He spoke and did what He heard from His Father!

John 5:19 (LSB) 19 Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing from Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in the same manner.

Though we are not perfect, as Christ was, we are God’s children. Our words and reactions matter.

And if we allow Him to, the Holy Spirit, our Helper, will give us what we need at the right time. And we too will react to this world in a way that will help them see God up close.

John 14:16 (LSB) 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another  Advocate, that He may be with you forever;

It’s not easy to live today in this atmosphere. And in these times it can sometimes make us angry.

So, let us always be sure to let the Holy Spirit guide us in our responses to the situations that we encounter.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-25

Titus 2:14 (NLT) 14 He gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us His very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

This verse offers us incredible, unlimited hope!

Why?

Because it teaches us that Jesus gave His life, not just to offer us forgiveness, but to completely redeem and liberate us from the grip of sin – every trace of lawlessness, wickedness, and rebellion against God’s authority.

The blood of Christ doesn’t merely wash away the stains of our past sins. It has the complete power to break the chains of those very sins, removing their controlling power from our lives once and for all.

Take note of the word, every. This word covers it all. No sin or trespass is excluded.

This means that no bondage, no habit, no behavioral pattern, no form of sin whatsoever is beyond the chain-breaking power of the blood of Christ.

To fully grasp the point that Paul was making, it helps immensely to consider the Greek words he chose.

Paul did not use the most common word for sin, hamartia, which means “to miss the mark.”

Instead, he used anomia, which describes a state of lawlessness. This word literally means “living as though God has no authority.”

This points not just to sinful action, but to the root problem that drives the one bound by that sin.

In choosing this word, Paul drives home a powerful truth; the blood of Christ has the power to deliver us from every possible form of sin that tries to hold us in chains.

There is immense encouragement for us in knowing this!

No longer do we have to trudge through life feeling imprisoned by sin; helpless to break free from it.

Paul’s intention was to solidify the truth of Christ’s delivering power and drive that point home in the hearts and minds of every believer, reinforcing the fact that we should not perpetually wrestle with the same sin cycle; there is complete freedom in Christ.

So, if we are constantly struggling to break free from what holds us in chains, what do we do?

We surrender, wholly and unconditionally to the One who breaks the chains.

We repent, acknowledge our weakness, and pledge ourselves to Him in every aspect of our lives.

Because it is in surrender that we find deliverance.

It is in admitting our own weakness that we find strength in God.

And it is in giving Him our whole self that we finally discover the freedom that we have so desperately sought.
