Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-20

Mark 10:14 (NKJV) 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

We have been receiving prayer requests for children a lot lately and it just pains me to hear of suffering children.

I always think, “why children?”. Then I am reminded the devil doesn’t care who it is. He wants to kill, steal and destroy everyone.

Thank God He is faithful!, whether we are a child or an adult. He can heal both. God wants us to teach our children how to come to Him, in good times, and in hard times. In times of sickness, and times of rejoicing!

Just recently a little 6 yr. old girl needed prayer. The father wrote in from India. He said she was sick with a fever, not eating and she had ulcers in her little mouth. He was very worried and concerned about her.

Oh, the power of Prayer. Today we received an email saying his little girl is healed. Praise be to God Almighty! May that little child know her HEALER!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV) 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Pray for our children, whether they are sick or they need guidance. Maybe they are being led down the wrong path, hanging with the wrong crowd and developing addictions. Let them know Who God is. Teach them to run to Him in prayer.

Don’t give up on our children, no matter how bad it may seem. God is faithful! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-20

Mark 10:16 (NKJV) 16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

Jesus loves the little children; the very children that the disciples didn’t want near Him.

When Jesus saw them forbidding the children to come near Him, He was like, “oh no no, you let them come to me.”

I just love this example!

Mark 10:14 (NKJV) 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Children meant a lot to Jesus. He took them in His arms, He laid hands on them and blessed them.

We need to pay attention to our children. We need to talk with them, spend time with them, eat with them, play with them and show them love.

Jesus took them in His arms and He loved on them.

When is the last time we took our child, whether young or old, and held them in our arms?

Maybe we are angry at them for things they have done, or choices they have made. But they still need to know that we love them in spite of it all.

Some of us are dealing with children issues and it can rob them of the attention we need to give them. There may be a timing for it. But we need to let Jesus guide our words and our steps toward reconciling, so that it will be meaningful and leave an impression when it all takes place.

Parents, love on your children. Take them in your arms and, as Jesus did, bless them!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-18

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Children; what beautiful little blessings they are.

We all know that every child is different. Some are aggressive and outgoing. Some are quiet and very content. While some are loud and boisterous. They are all very different in the little person that they are.

Each one has their strengths, and they also have their weaknesses. Most times, we as their parents recognize the areas where they will probably need help before anyone else does.

It’s so important, if we notice an area that they are weak in, that we don’t neglect it or ignore it. We can’t try to make up excuses for them. If we do, it may affect them for the rest of their lives. They will take what we have said to them and hold on to it, and it will become their crutch.

We need to teach our children to face their weaknesses. Steer them toward God even at a young age, and they will see that He is faithful and He takes the time to help even the little ones.

God is good. He will even meet our children where they are at and speak to their little hearts.

They can be strong too, through Christ who strengthens us all.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-24-16

Ephesians 6:4 (NKJV) 4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

God has laid it upon our heart this past week, reminding us that families need our prayers.

Some families have lost the simplicity of spending time together; eating together, laughing together, praying together, talking and spending time just being a family.

It doesn’t matter how many people or parents our family is made up of. We need to be consistent in spending meaningful time with each other. How do we train or bring up our children properly if we do not spend time together?

It’s not hard nowadays to lose sight of the important things like “family time” with all the distractions around us. Things like finances, sports, work, internet, TV, etc., can take up a lot of our time if we’re not careful.

Maybe it’s time to take a good look at where most of our time is spent and rearrange some things. It’s time to get our priorities in order.

Family is our blessing and it’s our responsibility to bring them up correctly! It’s something that we need to keep at the top of our list of priorities, spending time together, training, teaching and loving on them, just as the Lord loves on us.

God, thank you for families today. And please help us to make time for each other. Amen.
