Bible Verse of The Day – 3-7-20

Proverbs 14:22 (NKJV) 22 Do they not go astray who devise evil? But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.

How blessed are we to walk each day in this promise? Both mercy and truth are ours as children of God!

Sometimes we may wonder why we follow Jesus, our Savior. We might wonder why we do what He commands us to do, even on those days when it’s hard and we just want to throw in the towel.

This verse right here says it all; mercy and truth belong to us!

Just so we all know, we are not alone. It’s not easy at times choosing the “GOOD” road or the right thing to do. But it’s well worth every bit of it to have such a wonderful life with Him.

Keep planning to “devise good” and don’t give evil even a fleeting thought. Don’t give it even an inch of leeway, because it will cause us to stray. Keep our face like a flint. Press in, and push forward. God is for us! Amen.

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-3-18

Luke 6:35 (NKJV) 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

There have been a lot of things that God has taught me and that He has used to set me free. One of the things I have learned that has helped me to get free during the past few years is not to expect things from others.

I don’t expect people to know how I feel. I don’t expect people to treat me a certain way. I don’t expect things to go my way. And I don’t expect people to give back to me what I have given to them.

I just don’t expect anything, and with this came a great peace. This simple little change in me has literally set me free from a lot of things that could have hurt me, leaving scars, disappointments and an aching heart.

Instead of expecting, I have learned to turn that around and give more of myself and do more with the gifts that God has blessed me with. It has brought me great JOY and more satisfaction than I could have ever dreamed.

Expectations can ruin wonderful relationships. Get free today from this way of thinking and learn to be who you were created to be. Enjoy your life and relationships with those that come your way.

Keep going, and do what is in your heart to do, with no expectations of anything in return. Your life will be so much better.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-14-18

Matthew 6:1 (NKJV) 1 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

When we do good things, and no one else knows what we did, know that God is watching. It brings Him great pleasure. It means a lot to Him!

If we are a parent, an Aunt, an Uncle, a guardian or any kind of leader, we know what it feels like when our child, our student or someone dear to us does a good thing. It’s a blessing. It brings satisfaction and joy to our hearts!

Imagine, if we feel like this, how our Father in Heaven feels when we, His children, act in such a manner.

Pleasing our Father brings satisfaction and a peace to our hearts.

I hear God saying to you today…

“Keep up the good work. You are doing great!  Don’t worry if no one else noticed what you have done and what you continue to do. I see you and I love it! You are a blessing to My heart and your reward will come from Heaven.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-2-17

Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

What makes our light shine before men? When we do good works.

That’s right, when we step out and do something good for someone. It doesn’t have to be something big, something expensive, something great. Just something good, kind, and done with the right intentions.

What are right intentions? Doing something good and not looking for or expecting anything at all in return.

It can be a very small deed, but with the right intentions it will cause it to stand out and shine big.

The more good things we do with the right intentions, the more our light will shine, and the more God will be glorified in it. Amen.

As we walk out our door today, listen, watch and pray for an opportunity to do a good work, that the light in us will be able to shine brightly, giving God all the Glory!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-28-17

Matthew 6:3-4 (NKJV) 3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

Doing something nice for someone, something out of the ordinary, always makes us automatically want to share it with others. It makes a good topic for conversation and it just gives us a good feeling. But there is something that we will need to be watchful for when we share.

For instance, are we sharing so we feel better about ourselves? Or to gloat about what we did? Are we sharing to try to get people to like us, look up to us or even accept us?

Any of these reasons can get us off track and away from the purpose behind doing what we are doing.

God may occasionally use our story, our testimony and charitable deeds to help others in their situation. Sometimes it is a wonderful and humbling time, even for us to reflect on as we share them and are reminded of His goodness.

The importance of waiting for Him to show us if and when He wants us to share them will help us share when it is most effective, and it touches people deeply.

Keeping our experiences and our good deeds secretly between us, the person we may have helped, and God is hard to do and takes discipline. But it is very rewarding.

Remember the next time we go about doing something good… don’t be so quick to tell everyone. Hold onto it. Don’t seek the praise and rewards from man.

Instead, thank God for the opportunity and share our excitement with Him, and He will reward us openly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-22-16

Proverbs 15:3 (NKJV) 3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.

The things we do that are good are not insignificant. They are being noticed. We are not wasting time or energy as we do the things God asks us to do.

They may seem little at times, and at other times they may seem overwhelming. But know that every time we step out in obedience, whether for something little or something big, God is watching.

We don’t need men to applaud us. We don’t need rewards or a pat on the back. We need to know that when we do good, God is the One who is watching.

When we go the extra mile, take that extra step, the step that no one else wants to take. When we put ourselves aside and we do for others. When we get up earlier than normal and pray for someone’s need. Or we give from our heart something that means a great deal to us, God is watching.

The good things we do don’t get swept under the carpet and lost in the shuffle. Know that you are doing a great job. Keep it up and don’t pull back just because nobody says anything or it seems that you are unappreciated. God is watching.

2 Chronicles 15:7 (NKJV) 7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
