Bible Verse of The Day – 10-3-20

Ephesians 5:1 (NKJV) 1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.

What does this mean?

It means we do what He says to do in His word.

This is why it is so important for us to know what His word says, so we can follow it. We need to understand that we can’t just pick it up and follow it when we feel like it, or when we are in the right mood.

Maybe we are going through a hard time and we don’t think we have to follow because we are struggling.

No. Even in times of hardship and desperation, we need to put our feelings aside and continue to walk in love, being imitators of Him.

Ephesians 5:2 (NKJV) 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Not walking in love isn’t an option. God expects us to follow His lead.

In today’s society anything seems to go. But in God’s family it doesn’t work that way. Nothing in His word has changed just because we are hurting, struggling, weak, or because we have been through tough situations. The command has not let up or been removed.  It remains the same at all times.

Imitators of God, walk in love. Sometimes it is a tough love and sometimes it is a soft love. Either way, if we follow and listen to Him, the right one will show up at the right time and help the situation greatly.

Follow and imitate Him in all we do dear children of God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-29-17

Ephesians 5:1 (NKJV) 1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.

Have we ever watched our children as they grew up, or even now as they are growing up, and sometimes catch them acting the same way we do in certain situations?

They may even have our same mannerisms. That’s right, they act like our little minis.

Why? Because they are imitating what they see us do. Sometimes it’s a good thing. We get all excited and feeling good on the inside. And we think “Aw, look at little Johnny. He’s just like me”.

Then other times, it’s not so good when they are acting the way we do. They may even get in trouble for doing what they are doing, even though we were the ones that taught them to do it that way.

Being God’s children, we should all strive to act like Him. We don’t have to worry when we imitate Him. Everything He does is good, just and RIGHTEOUS!

We can go all out and act like our Heavenly Daddy and it will just trickle down into our children’s lives as well.

Following our earthly fathers may get us into some trouble. Be safe, be sure and imitate the One who is perfect in all He does; Our Heavenly Father!
