Bible Verse of The Day – 12-1-23

Nehemiah 1:4 (NKJV) 4 So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

Nehemiah was not just a prophet of God, but also a mighty warrior for God who never bowed to fear or any tactics of the enemy.

He also trusted God with everything about his life, no matter what kind of obstacle stood before him.

In the verse above, he had just been told by a Jewish brother about the terrible situation with the Jews who had returned to Jerusalem from exile. And he was also informed about the broken condition of Jerusalem.

The people were in great distress and reproach, and the walls of the city were in ruins.

Nehemiah was in great distress when he learned all of this, so he sat down and wept. And he mourned for many days afterward.

Many people might simply throw their hands up and give up if they heard news like this.

But Nehemiah was a warrior.

Instead of allowing this news to crush his spirit and defeat him, as he mourned for many days, he also fasted and prayed to God.

He not only poured out his heart before God in his brokenness, but he also repented on behalf of his people and sought a solution to this terrible situation.

Instead of drowning in his sorrow, he made a choice to help fix what had been broken.

There are some valuable lessons we can all learn from Nehemiah!

It is always easier to throw in the towel and concede defeat in these kinds of situations. This is why it is important for us to seek God in everything that we face.

God is the Giver of solutions, the One who will shore up a broken spirit, and the Master of rebuilding that which is broken.

We would strongly encourage you to read the book of Nehemiah in its entirety and glean the valuable nuggets of truth that are found there.

It is not only inspirational, but it will also teach us a lot about learning to be steadfast in any battle, even when it may look like we are defeated.

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Let us learn to trust Him and walk in His faithfulness!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-23

Psalm 108:13 (NKJV) 13 Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

To be valiant means to be brave and bold. To walk courageously, a valiant soldier. It means to be mighty and powerful.

Through God we are mighty men and women of valor!

How do we as believers walk in such bravery and boldness?

We stay close to God and walk with Him, listening and watching.

We keep our hearts soft by humbly letting Him show us how to accomplish things, even when the way He shows us might be different than what we may have thought of.

Oh boy! This is not what the world will teach us. It’s quite opposite. But it is how we win and walk in the blessings of the Lord.

Being brave, bold and courageous means not worrying about what others think or say about us. It’s living and breathing obedience while fighting off the temptations that come against us.

It’s not always as easy as it sounds. Obeying is probably the hardest thing to do even when everything in us wants to do the right thing.

Paul says it best.

Romans 7:15 (NKJV) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

It happens to us all at times. Keep pressing in and grow stronger.

Learn from our errors and mistakes and He will tread down our enemy!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-6-23

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Timothy was prone to timidity at times and Paul was simply reminding him that through the Holy Spirit’s fullness, He provides enabling power to exercise one’s ministry.

This same Holy Spirit will guide us in our steps and give us what we need to be strong, compassionate and bold at times.

I want to say to you today, we can do these things that God has set before us!

Yes, it can cause us to be fearful at times, but we need to push through the fear and take the necessary steps.

He will strengthen us and even help us at times to overcome our unbelief.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

He is a conquering Spirit; a Spirit of excellence. We can do all things through His strength, more than we could ever possibly do alone.

Be encouraged today and know that you may be facing something that is causing you to be fearful, but you, as a child of God, have help.

Together with the Holy Spirit, set your face like a flint and go!

Isaiah 50:7 (NKJV) 7 “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

Amen.
