Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-22

Psalm 37:23-24 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

To know that God will still uphold us with His hand when we make mistakes brings great comfort. He is a forgiving God, our salvation!

This does not, however, mean that we should continue to make wrong choices on purpose, knowing that He will forgive and help us get out of our bind.

If we know what we are about to do is wrong and we do it anyway, that is plain old rebellion, not a mistake.

That is being hard-hearted, stubborn and unwilling to change. That is taking a chance. And eventually, if we do this enough, it will destroy our relationship with God.

Philippians 2:12 (NKJV) 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling…

Obedience is what pleases our Father. We should always be  moving and pushing ourselves to do the right thing in any given situation.

He is watching our hearts, where our actions will come from.

This is where the steps of a good man or woman come from. And though we may fall at times, it won’t be on purpose, but a sincere mistake.

Usually when this happens, it’s because of our weakness in a specific area. This is where God will help us if we go to Him humbly and ask.

He will bring changes to help us become stronger in that area.

God will uphold us as we sincerely obey Him. He is our strength!

Exodus 15:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-21

James 1:21 (NKJV) 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

At its heart, this scripture is referring to truly receiving God’s word. We can’t just hear it. We actually have to make an honest effort to receive it by doing what it says.

It’s just like when we were children. Mom or Dad would tell us what to do, but if we didn’t obey and do it, what happened? They took it as we weren’t listening because we did not make an effort to follow through.

You see, doing what we have been told says something. It makes a statement.

It says, “yes, I heard you clearly and I will follow through and do what I am told. I receive what you said, and I will show you through my actions”.

Our question is, are we, as God’s children, listening to His implanted word and allowing it to save us?

His implanted word can save our soul, save our marriage, save our children, save our financial situation, save our relationship with Him, save our country, etc. So, are we obeying and taking the steps to walk it out?

Or are we not even finding time to read His word,  leaving ourselves confused, walking in circles and depressed about what has taken place around us?

Pick up God’s word today and take it in. It will save our soul and anything else that is going sour in our life as we receive with meekness that implanted word and instructions on how to live, so we can get out of the mess we are in and be happy!

Proverbs 16:20 (NKJV) 20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

God bless you. Our prayers are with you. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-17

Hebrews 13:1 (NKJV) 13 Let brotherly love continue.

Today, as we sit here to put another Bible Verse and devotional message together, we are reminded of how devoted each one of you are.

Our hearts are humbled and we are ever so grateful for the love we receive from you, our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Going into this year, we had some things we were facing; things that we needed God to make provision for.

He told us to trust Him when we stepped out 8 years ago. He told us to trust Him when we decided to do what we felt He was calling us into. Not knowing how it would turn out, we stepped.

We passed up job opportunities that would take care of us and bring security. We passed up living in areas we would love to spend time in. Instead, we said yes to God.

This changed us for good. We had no idea that on the other side of this computer, you would be there. You were there waiting, listening and open to God for what He wanted to say and do through you.

He has used you to help us in this faith walk. You have been obedient in your giving and your sowing, both in your time of drought and in your time of feast! You have stepped out and obeyed. And God took care of our needs.

Thank you for helping us. Thank you for listening and stepping out, and for following what God has put in your hearts to do.

Together we will continue to reach this world with the message of the hope found in Christ. We will bring His hope, peace and love. We will stand together and help people find the truth, as we found ours. Amen

Here is our heartfelt prayer today.

Dear God in Heaven,

Bless these dear ones who have been ever so faithful, diligent and consistent, not only in their giving but in their walk with YOU. We know that You have blessed them for their obedience more than we could ever do. We pray Your protection over them.

And we pray for a burning desire in them to keep growing, keep obeying and keep walking close to You. Help them to keep trusting that as You guide them to take new steps, they never look back. That they just move forward in this journey You have them on, knowing You will be right there with them.

And we pray these things in the precious name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen

God bless you all. We are here for you!

Love and tight hugs to all of you from the bottom of our hearts.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-14-15

Luke 5:5 (NKJV) 5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

Simon explained to Jesus what he had already done, and how he got nothing in his attempt.

But notice that even in Simon’s understanding of what happened, he still followed Jesus’ word and did what Jesus told Him to do. This is key.

We may not always understand why or what Jesus may be asking of us at times. But as long as we let Him lead, we will continue to see Him move, even in our lack of understanding.

Don’t give up on what Jesus is telling us to do today. His words are solid and transforming. You may need a healing today. Your business may need a breakthrough. Your marriage may need restoring. Your spouse may need salvation. Your children may need healing, or you may need deliverance from addictions.

If Simon said, “I already did what You are asking me to do last night, it’s a waste of my time”, and he did not heed the voice of Jesus and act upon it, he would have missed out on a huge blessing.

Luke 5:6 (NKJV) 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

We are believing that as you take that step of faith, and you listen and do what Jesus is speaking to your heart today, your blessing will come.

Do what Simon did, pushing aside his own understanding of what he had already experienced and listening to what Jesus was saying.
