Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-17

Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV) 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Sometimes people do things that just make us shake our heads. Some of these things are subtle, while others are blatantly illegal or, at the very least, very questionable.

On a smaller scale, the day to day choices we make can have lasting results and consequences. Sometimes we know up front that something is wrong, and we do it anyway. Other times we just make a bad choice.

Either way, the choices we make will follow us around and it can take a long time for them to get resolved or fade away into our past.

God has made a way for us to avoid making poor choices and reaping from those choices.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

You see, if we truly want to do right, to please God, we will think before we do anything. And we will let God speak to us and show us the right choice. And then we will listen and heed His promptings.

It may not always be easy. And sometimes we may wrestle with it. But as we learn to lean on Him, trust the Holy Spirit, and then follow His leading, it will get easier and easier.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but when we let God lead us, we will learn right from wrong. And we will choose right.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-17

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Is someone you know having trouble doing the right thing, resisting sin and temptation?

How about you? Are you having trouble resisting the devil and living a righteous lifestyle?

Why is that? Why do some people just seem to have so much trouble turning away from evil and doing right?

It’s all about submission. It’s about who we submit ourselves to.

If we submit to God, our lives will reflect that, and we will live a life that’s a reflection of God’s nature.

This doesn’t mean that our lives will be perfect, or that we will never make mistakes or make bad choices. But the big picture will show people who know us that God is alive in us and moving in our lives.

If, however, our lives are submitted to the devil, they will reflect that. Attitudes will be poor. Actions will be ungodly. Fruit, if there is any, will be rotten. So it’s critical that we make sure we are submitted to God.

Submission requires humility. Humility can be tough for us sometimes, because it means that we have to admit that we are wrong and that we need help. Some people wrestle with this more than others. But we all need help in this area at one point or another.

So let’s determine in our hearts today to humble ourselves and submit ourselves to God, so we can resist the devil. And as we do this, he will flee from us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-17

John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

As a believer, our decisions should be based on what we have learned through His word. In doing so, we learn to follow, obey and apply His truth to our everyday living, instead of doing something simply because we want to. His words will echo in our hearts.

This is all part of following Him and it takes a lifetime to learn. It doesn’t happen over night, so we shouldn’t give up if we are not getting it just right. We don’t just reach a point in our life and say, “there, I know how to handle it all!”. It is an ongoing process.

Most times we are fighting our own flesh. We are trying to stop it from doing the wrong things. That’s right, our own flesh.

We might say, “so and so is doing this and getting away with it. Why can’t we just do half of what they are doing?”.

We cannot look at what others are doing and try to “get away with it”. We need to stay focused on what we know is right and follow through with that each day.

Keeping this old flesh in line with God’s word is a job in and of itself. But we do have a Helper, the Holy Spirit. And we need His strength, wisdom and discipline to keep us following the right path.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We love that He thought of us and sent us a Helper. We need Him more than we know. Ask the Holy Spirit for help today, that we may be reminded of the words of our Lord.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-30-16

1 Peter 3: 13-14 (NKJV) 13 And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”

As we draw closer to Christ and we take His Word seriously we will begin to change. Our hearts will desire to do good and will work hard to discern and choose the right thing to do in every situation.

It doesn’t mean that we will be perfect, because everything we do is in part; Part flesh and part spirit. So there will be times when we may be having a hard day and we will act from the flesh. Those are the moments we usually know pretty quickly that what we just did we wish we could undo or take back.

Even though we can’t take it back, because it was already done and played out, we can own up to what we did and ask God to forgive us for it.

There may still be repercussions because of it, but at least we got it straightened out with God. And if we ask Him, He will help us with the rest as well.

Doing the right thing is important. Even if we fail at times, we can still turn things around by taking the right actions and trying to get it right.

Good is the way to go no matter what kind of day we are having or what situation we are in.

We are still blessed!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-26-16

1 John 2:1 (NKJV) 2 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Each day that we get up, we make decisions. We make choices. We say things. We think things. We do things. And with God’s word in us, it helps us to stay on the right track and do those things that are right. When we do what is right, we know it because it just feels right!

Have we ever felt terrible for doing something right? Did we think, “Oh man, I just did the right thing and boy I feel awful inside”? Not usually. When we do things right, we know it! We need to always keep doing what is right.

It’s the same when we do things wrong. We will know it. We will feel it. It’s then that we have to ask for forgiveness and for God’s help to try to fix it.

Doing things wrong happens to each one of us at one time or another. It’s part of being human.

I remember going to church as a child. To me, my Pastor seemed like the perfect man. I was young and didn’t know any better.

Then, when I was older, one day my Pastor said something to me that hurt me really badly. It cut me deep.

I struggled with this because I didn’t understand how he could do that. He was supposed to be perfect, right?

God knew my heart and thoughts. He brought correction and comfort to me. He spoke healing words to my broken heart.

He said, “man is man. Man will disappoint you at times. Man will hurt you at times. Man is not perfect and he/she will make mistakes. But I am here. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Don’t put your trust in man, but in Me”.

You see I was looking at my Pastor the wrong way. I thought he could never do anything wrong.

Listen. We all mess up at times, no matter who we are. That goes for all of us. We should be ever so grateful that when we do, there is forgiveness for us.

There is healing, there is deliverance, and there is life through the precious name of Jesus Christ. He is an advocate for all who put their trust in Him!

Man is man, but God is GOD. Hold on to Him tightly. Amen.
