Bible verse of The Day – 1-24-18

Revelation 2:3 (NKJV) 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.

Hang in there today. Push through. Put one foot in front of the other and don’t look back. It’s a new day, with a new start, and God is for us! Amen.

We are not laboring in vain when we put God first.

When we obey God’s word, rather than doing what we want, we are setting ourselves aside and our hearts are humbled before Him as we carry on with His plan.

We have given up those things that we once considered to be ours, and placed them in the hands of our King, and we press on to serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV) 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

All your hard work, your sacrifices, and efforts are seen. God knows our hearts. Keep moving forward.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-26-17

1 Samuel 2:2 (NKJV) 2 “No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

Today’s word is “better days are coming”.

The past few years for my family it has been one thing after another. I am not complaining or ungrateful at all. God has been our provision, our escape and we have seen miraculous things happen right before our very own eyes.

But we have been through a lot of things that have been very trying and very tough.

It has been bittersweet at times. But the best thing is to know that whatever we were faced with, God was close by! He was right there with us.

Having such an Anchor standing with us when we were faced with hard news made it all much better. It kept us grounded even when our first instinct was to take off running from it all.

If you are going through a lot, we know how you feel. We are here with you.

We want you to know that you are going to come through this, and better days will come your way as you continue to press in to your Rock.

Our Lord God Almighty is our Rock. He will calm the storm for you! Amen.

​​​​​​​Psalm 107:29 (NKJV) 29 He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-17

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 

Every one of us is facing some kind of trial or hurdle that we need to overcome. 

For some of us it’s the loss of a loved one. For others, it’s a financial crisis. For some, it’s a health crisis that we’re facing. And for others, it may be any number of things that you’re facing. 

These things may seem insurmountable, impossible to overcome and bigger than anything you’ve ever had to face. 

And you’re right. They are impossible, without God’s help. 

But, with God they can be faced boldly and overcome. He gives us what we need to live victoriously. He equips us to be warriors in the spirit, standing boldly in the face of adversity and conquering those things that would try to take us out once and for all. 

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 

It won’t always be easy. In fact, it is rarely easy. But it is NOT impossible! The most important thing to remember is that when man says no, God says yes! And when we feel like we cannot stand another minute, we need to pick up our armor, draw our strength from God, and stand. 

Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV) 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

This thing we’re facing will be defeated, in the name of Jesus, if we stand in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-17-17

Psalm 139:7-10 (NKJV) 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.

There is nowhere we can go where God isn’t present.

Nowhere should this be more comforting to us than when we’re in the midst of a storm or a trial.

Sometimes when we’re facing a season that has us longing for some kind of change… a breakthrough or a victory, we can tend to forget Who our security lies in.

We go to people; family or friends. We pour our heart out to them and hope for some kind of consolation or comfort from them. We may even hope that they will help us in some way, either with suggestions or even with the answer to our problems.

But we too often forget that God is our source. He alone can rescue us from the crashing waves and stormy seas.

There is nowhere we can go and be away from His spirit and His strong hands, which hold us. He is always there, even when we might not think He is.

So rest in knowing this. Speak to your storm and tell the wind and waves to be still, in the name of Jesus.

His right hand shall hold you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-16-17

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

What are we facing right now?

What is it that is trying to get us to waver in our faith?

What is trying to get us to doubt God?

It doesn’t really matter who or what we’re up against right now. They do not hold our future in their hands.

There is only One who does that. And He does not change, lie or go back on a promise.

Rise up in the name of Jesus! Stand strong in His name and by His spirit, and hold fast to His word. For He is faithful and will bring you through whatever you’re facing right now.

Victory is ours, in Jesus’ name.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-15

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Are you tired today?

Have you been wrestling with anything lately that has worn you out? Are you facing trials and temptations?

Jesus wants you to rest in Him, no matter what you’re facing.

When we’re in a battle, we can get worn out pretty quickly if we try to handle everything ourselves.

Our minds can sometimes be our worst enemy. Our intellect always tries to kick in and figure everything out. And when we do this, we can spin our wheels pretty good!

But those spinning wheels won’t get us anywhere, except buried in worrying and fretting over something we have no control over. And so many times, we spend hours, days and weeks worrying about something that never comes to pass.

Surrendering it to Jesus isn’t easy. But it’s a necessity if we want to keep from getting burned out and losing our faith.

But we need to tell our minds to shut up. And then we need to do whatever is necessary to hear God’s voice and heed His words, so He can lead us.

The best thing to do is to get in His word and let Him speak faith to our spirits. This will refresh us and renew our strength, and give us hope.

So, if you’re tired, let Jesus give you rest today.
