Bible Verse of The Day – 9-12-25

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 pray without ceasing,

It’s 3 AM. You’ve awakened. And now you can’t get back to sleep.

Maybe you don’t know why you awoke. Maybe you do.

But sleep evades you now.

What do you do?

What can be done to make use of this time that is seemingly being wasted, tossing and turning in your bed?

Pray!

You don’t know what to pray for, or for whom?

Listen for God’s voice; His Spirit that leads us, guides us, and prompts us.

He guides us into all truth. And He will surely place someone, or some situation, on our hearts to pray for!

Meditate on His word.

Let His word bring peace to your mind. Let it soothe your soul and feed your spirit!

Those wee hours of the night and very early morning can be used to strengthen us.

They can be used to lift up others who need strengthening.

They can be used to do spiritual warfare, bringing down strongholds, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

And meditate on His word. Let it illuminate your soul and bring you into His presence.

Don’t count these times as lost sleep. Count them as hours gained doing the work of a soldier of Christ!

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-11-25

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

As I was talking to a person the other day who had just lost someone dear to them, they said to me, “I don’t understand why I can’t cry”.

They couldn’t cry over losing that person. It genuinely bothered then. They said, “I cry because I can’t cry for my loss.”

Our mind is a funny thing. It tries to figure everything out. It demands answers even when there may be no answer.

It’s hard to have an answer for something that affects every one of us differently. And mourning is one of them.

A few years ago I lost two people within a period of just over a year. They were both very dear to me. They both had a special place in my heart.

I found myself crying more for one of them than I did the other.

Was that wrong?

Most people would say, “you must have loved or missed one of them more than the other”.

But that was not the case at all, and I never felt guilty due to not being able to cry equally for them.

I have never questioned this because I know that, whatever the reason is, I trust God and I’m comforted.

Let God do the work. He will comfort the brokenhearted in ways that we need it.

If we need to cry, cry. If we don’t, that’s OK too. His comfort will guide us in our season of mourning.

Our minds may never know the answers to some things. We must accept that and carry on.

Mourning comes to us in different ways for each person we lose. It will not always be the same for every person. Trust in God even in the way we mourn for someone.

He heals the brokenhearted.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-10-25

1 John 4:1 (LSB) 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

God’s word was written with a purpose; to inform, teach, and educate the body of Christ.

It tells us everything we need to know; about life, and about our relationship with God.

It shows us who God is. It gives us wisdom, understanding, and insights into spiritual matters that our human minds know nothing of.

His word is alive.

Knowing this, it is important for us to grasp the critical nature of what His word says.

This is especially true with the things that are relevant to protecting our eternal destiny; being sure that we are not led away by false doctrines, false prophets, or false teachers.

So, it behooves us to pay attention when God’s word tells us to test the spirits; to discern whether they are from God.

Why?

Because false prophets have gone out into the world.

And what are their goals? To subvert the truth and lead us away from God with words that resemble His but have their origins in evil spirits.

Evil spirits rarely reveal themselves as such.

They will masquerade as angels of light, soothing our spirits with words that give the appearance of truth while subtly dripping lies.

Evil spirits will speak truth if they have a motive to do so.

We will see this often in the case of fortune tellers, mediums, etc.

Paul witnessed this in Acts 16:16-18. He recognized the evil spirit by which the girl was speaking words of truth. And he promptly cast the demon out of her.

So should we also learn to discern these things. Without proper discernment, any one of us is apt to fall prey to words that sound accurate, but are spoken with improper motives, straight from the pits of hell.

Test the spirits.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-9-25

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Perfect peace! Praise God.

How many of us want this peace?

It’s all about focusing our mind; on who?

On Christ!

Not on the things of the world, but on Him, the One who overcame the world.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

That’s right; learning to keep our mind in the right place will help us find that perfect peace. And let me tell you it is worth every bit of the effort required in this fight.

Be forewarned; this is easier said than done.

Why? Because your mind has a will of its own.

It likes to do what it wants, when it wants, and how it wants. Our mind likes doing its own thing!

We must discipline it to be in that place it needs to be at all times of the day and night.

It takes work, and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew it. He will help us!

Romans 12:2 says we must renew the mind.

How do we renew our mind?

By letting the Word of God penetrate our hearts, allowing God to bring revelation and understanding to us. This brings the transformation, shaping us into the person that Christ would have us to be.

In Philippians 4:8 we are instructed to keep our minds on the things that our true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report and anything praiseworthy.

This is another area that is a constant battle because, as we all know, the world is full of all the opposite and it can be very heavy at times.

So, just a little reminder; stay focused on Christ no matter what we hear or see going on around us. Keep nothing but good in our minds.

Be still and know that He is God, and bask in His peace! Amen.

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-8-25

Acts 20:21 (NLT) 21 I have had one message for Jews and Greeks alike—the necessity of repenting from sin and turning to God, and of having faith in our Lord Jesus.

Have you ever wanted or needed a short, concise definition or description of salvation, and Christianity?

Have you wished you had something that could be used to describe to others what it is that you have dedicated your life to?

The verse above is exactly that!

Does it give deep theology? No.

Does it explain that the blood of Jesus was shed for all humanity, for the redemption and washing of our sins? No.

And does it teach about the resurrection of Jesus, destroying the chains of death and giving us hope for eternal life? No.

But what it does do is sum up the basis of our relationship with God through Christ.

Salvation is for Jews and non-Jews; all of humanity.

Repentance is necessary as we turn to God for forgiveness.

And our faith must be in Jesus Christ, the One who shed His blood for us; Emmanuel, God with us.

And there you have it; Christianity in a nutshell.

The most concise phrase I have seen in the entirety of God’s word to describe our relationship with God, and our hope in Jesus Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-6-25

Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) 24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

As I was doing my laps at the community pool today, I saw another person coming into the water. I said to this person, “what a beautiful day.”

They replied, “it is a beautiful day. Every day we get is a blessing.”

And I said, “no matter the weather, no matter the season, etc., they are all beautiful days, and you can find good in each one!”

We agreed that every day is precious, no matter what is before us.

Today, may we rejoice in this day and be glad!

We won’t get another like today, This day is it, and once it passes it is no longer for us to live in. We move on and it is now the past.

Praise be to God for each day He gives to us. Let us make the most of it. For it truly is a blessing!  Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-5-25

Acts 14:9-10 (NKJV) 9 This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.

Sometimes it can be difficult for us to truly understand the importance of faith, especially when it relates to being healed.

It can help if we better understand faith as a whole, rather than focusing on a single aspect of it.

As we walk with God over the years, we will learn that He moves in various ways in different situations.

But there is one constant; the need for faith as the foundation for everything about our relationship with Him.

In fact, God tells us that without faith it is impossible to please Him.

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

So, as we seek God more deeply, we will begin to develop an understanding of the importance of faith in every aspect of our walk with God.

The verse above states plainly that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!

Faith is the key that unlocks everything. Healing is just one of those things.

The deeper we dive with God, the stronger our entire relationship with Him becomes.

And that strong relationship solidifies our faith, not only for healing, but for everything else that we may encounter.

Let us diligently seek Him daily 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-4-25

Matthew 18:19 (NKJV) 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

If we agree…

This is so important for the body of Christ to know and understand. Being one with each other is the key.

If we can agree on things when we pray, it will be done!

Can you imagine the things that have been accomplished through agreeing?

We may never know or comprehend all of the answers we have had. But God is faithful to know when we are one with each other and lined up with His word. And that’s when the answers come!

John 17:21 (NKJV) 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

Let us work on allowing the Holy Spirit bring us together in our hearts.

We don’t even need to live near each other. We just need to be on the same page with our prayers!

We may not agree on all things at times, but if we can agree on the things He shows us, then our prayers will be incredibly productive, and many people will get the help they need.

One thing we all can agree on and pray for together is the salvation of those who need Jesus; that they will find the Truth and be saved.

That is something that is worth more than anything else we could ever pray for. In Jesus’ Name, let us all pray together for the lost.

Let Salvation come. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-3-25

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

God’s word is clear when it comes to teaching us that He wants us to go to Him and ask of Him when we are in need.

God also makes it very clear that if we ask, we will receive!

Now that we understand this Biblical truth, let’s look at it a little more closely, so we can be sure to understand it and put it into practice in the way God wants us to.

We know, based on the verse above, that God wants to give us what we ask for.

Considering that, we should carefully weigh our requests.

Why?

To be sure that we are asking in accordance with what is best for us and is aligned with His will.

You see, if we fail to carefully consider our requests, we can errantly ask for things that may hurt us or cause us distress in the future.

This may be difficult for us to foresee. But if we take certain steps, we can eliminate much of the “risk”.

Here’s what can help us.

His word says that He gives us the desires of our heart. But look at what else it says!

Psalm 37:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

We must delight ourselves in Him. And we must commit our way to Him.

This is critically important for us to understand.

And as we learn to delight ourselves in Him and commit our way to Him, our heart changes, as do the desires of our heart.

Then, our will becomes better aligned with His will. And this leads to our requests being less self-centered and more God-centered.

And this is a win/win since we are now no longer seeking those things that are self-serving, but those things that are God-centric and benefitting the kingdom of God.

So, let us seek what He wants in us, that what we seek in our requests will bring glory and honor to Him and His kingdom.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-25

Acts 4:32 (NKJV) 32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

What a beautiful way to live.

Their hearts had to truly have been changed. This is evident work of the Holy Spirit.

When He moves, we surrender it all. We don’t look at anything as being ours, or that we own it. We go from holding tightly to everything, to “we’re all yours, Lord”.

How many of us today are holding on to stuff like it’s ours?

When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we will definitely feel different about the things we possess.

When material and worldly things get out of our way, we hear better. We obey more quickly, and we are ready to move forward a little easier. Less distractions and nothing pulling on us.

We are more free to listen and hear what His voice is saying, and we are quick to obey Him.

They were in One accord!

Many years ago, we were visiting a couple when the man decided to get up and go into the kitchen.

He came back a few minutes later with a basin full of water, knelt down at our feet, and began to wash them.

As he did this, he began to speak these words, “and when you become pastors…”.

We lost it, and we began to cry as he continued to speak words of God over us.

We surrendered at that moment, tears running down our faces, not knowing the timing, the place, or even the how.

We surrendered in our hearts and became one with God.

Everything about us became His.

What was our hearts cry? “Let it be Lord, according to Your will.”

This is what God does with us when we wholly surrender to Him.

He changes our hearts. He changes our thoughts. He changes our actions.

He changes each one of us, from the inside, out.

We must empty ourselves before He can fill us.

And there we will sit, empty, yet filled. Filled with a “One heart and One soul” attitude, and a heart of gratitude toward God!

He is worthy!
