Bible Verse of The Day – 5-7-24

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

I must remind myself of this truth continually.

I can be going along one day, strong in my walk, and then wake up another day with my mind and emotions getting the best of me, and I start to doubt.

I know I’m not alone in this. I have learned we need God even in our thinking process.

Spending too much time thinking is not good. Our thoughts can sometimes hinder our walk with God.

We must balance it.

We should take time to ponder on things. We need to recognize the reality of things. But we should not “over-ponder” them.

There is a line we cannot cross. If we do, we then go into worrying.

How do we know when we have crossed that line?

It’s easy. We can tell by the way it is affecting us that we crossed the line.

When we start to worry or be concerned to the point where it is all we think about, or when we see it is consuming us, we’ve gone too far.

We need to pull ourselves together, lay it down at the cross, and walk by faith.

Praising God despite not having all the answers is huge.

Praising God in the midst of a storm will move mountains.

If we choose to praise God when everything around us is causing us to doubt, it’s in these moments that God sees our hearts and how much we truly trust Him.

Praise Him today, no matter what it is that is trying to take us down.

Praise Him, by knowing Who He is in this storm; our strength and song.

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.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-30-18

Matthew 9:23-25 (NKJV) 23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, 24 He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. 25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 

Jesus had the crowd put outside. Why? Because He knew they doubted Him. 

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. We want to believe. We want to see God move. But we don’t really believe. We doubt. 

Doubt is the number one enemy when it comes to seeing God move on our behalf. 

You see, Jesus knew that if He allowed those people to stay in the room, the little girl would not be healed and resurrected. He knew they doubted Him. They actually ridiculed Him when He spoke. 

By having the doubters removed, He created an atmosphere that was conducive to faith, and free of doubt. 

Sometimes it is hard to believe. Sometimes doubt can be so big in our face that it’s hard to see past it. 

But it’s up to us to ask God to help us with our doubt. He just wants us to cry out and ask Him! God won’t turn us away because of it. On the contrary, He will help us believe! 

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” 

We urge you today, let God help your unbelief. Don’t struggle all your life with doubt and unbelief, tossed like a wave on the sea. 

James 1:6-8 (NKJV) 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 

Just cry out to Him, saying “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-25-17

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

We may feel like our hardest times are upon us. We can’t see past what is in front of us. It seems huge and we are tired, drained and feeling like it is a lost battle.

So many times, we have prayed and asked God for the answer and we are discouraged because, to the natural eye, there appears to have been no change. We are still here and we are beginning to doubt God and His promises.

Look up today. Don’t spend one more moment looking at the situation in front of us. When we open our heart up and look to Him, when we call out to Him, He hears our voice. He is working things out.

It may not seem like anything is happening or changing, but behind the scenes God is on the move on our behalf.

So, what is our job?

We need to begin to thank Him, praise Him and rejoice because we know Who our Deliverer is! Wait quietly and hold fast to His hand. He will not fail us. He is there. He will make our path clear.

Psalm 34:17 (NKJV) 17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-9-16

Numbers 14:24 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.

God mentioned above that Caleb had a different spirit. The difference in Caleb’s spirit was that he recognized his own weakness and yet had no problem believing that His God would give them victory over the giants in that land.

He knew that God wanted them to possess the land, and no matter what it took, it would be the way God said it would be.

That’s the difference in spirit.

What were the other men saying? “We can’t, they are too big, it’s not for us.” They were weak, full of doubt and looking for sympathy.

Even though they looked like they were afraid and scared, in reality they were full of pride. They thought, “if we can’t do it, comprehend it or see that it’s possible, then we need to dismiss it”. They thought that if they couldn’t do it by their own strength then it couldn’t be done. They left God completely out of the equation!

That is full-blown pride right there. Because it’s in our weakness that God’s strength is made perfect. Acknowledging our weakness and letting God help us is the different spirit that God was referring to.

So many people miss out on the things God can do because of the different spirit, the spirit of pride that will dismiss the next step; The most important step. The step that involves humility and accepting God’s help.

Are we letting God’s strength be made perfect in our weakness today? Or do we dismiss something because we can’t figure it out intellectually?

It’s the humble, those who admit their weakness and allow God to help them through it, that will reach the promised land! Amen.

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

What is God showing us today? Are we admitting we can’t do it without Him? Are we willing to let Him teach us something outside of what we already know?

Let Him help us reach our promised land today by acknowledging that we need Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-29-15

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Worrying is something we all struggle with at one or time or another.

Human nature likes to be able to see everything that’s ahead.

But God wants us to learn to live by faith in Him, not by faith in what we can see in front of us.

Learning to really live by faith is a tough transition for us, after being used to living by sight. But that’s God’s ultimate goal for us, to live and walk by faith in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

If we’re constantly worrying, it means that we’re doubting Him, His word and His provision. That might sound harsh, but it’s the reality of it. When we look truthfully at worry, it is an outward manifestation of inward doubt.

Worry causes stress. Worry can cause us to lose faith and say things that we would not otherwise say. And worst of all, most of the things we worry about never actually happen.

So, as hard as it might seem, we need to let God build our faith in Him. We need to let Him strengthen our faith and help it grow, so we can learn to walk, trusting Him in everything we do.

So it’s time for us to stop doubting. And it’s time to let God take us by the hand and lead us, even through those places where we can’t see in front of us.

Matthew 14:31 (NKJV) 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
