  • Bible Verse of The Day – 3-25-26

    Psalm 119:114 (NKJV) 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.

    In our devotional on Monday, we discussed the importance of hiding God’s Word in our hearts to help overcome in our lives as shared in Psalm 119:11.

    Today, let’s look at another Psalm that encourages us to make God our “hiding place and shield”.

    We face many obstacles in life; things can cause us to become fearful and hopeless if we allow them to.

    But when we trust in God, He is our source of hope. Our hope is not found in our own ideas, or the suggestions of others who may try to help us when we are in times of need or desperation.

    As we grow and mature in Christ, we learn that nothing can give us hope and reassurance like God does.

    We begin to understand that He is our source of truth, understanding, and hope.

    And, as we discussed on Monday, His Word brings understanding and encouragement to our hearts as we dedicate ourselves to learning it.

    You see, as we spend that time reading and studying, He imparts truth into us, strengthening our spirits and fortifying the foundations of our faith.

    And when we faithfully put in the time and effort to make this happen, the worries and fears that once stood as momentous obstacles in our lives become a distant memory of who we used to be and how we once lived.

    Get His Word in your heart. Make Him your hiding place. And trust Him with everything about your life.

    There is none like Him 🙏🏻

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-26

    Revelation 16:1 (LSB) 1 Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

    As I have recently been working my way through the book of Revelation, through the lens of Biblical prophecy I have seen confirmation of the great depravity of the world.

    Now, this could cause great anxiety or depression.

    But I am a child of God, And I know that this is all part of what was spoken of through the prophets centuries ago as He revealed His plans, that we might not be ignorant.

    I rest securely in Him. I have no fear or worries.

    Instead, I have great hope!

    Because I am a blood-bought follower of Christ, I know who wins in the end. I’ve read the Book, and we already know how the story ends.

    Does the condition of humanity, and the massive presence of evil in the world bother me?

    Of course it does. It is devastating to watch people around the globe descend into what can only be described as demon-inspired sin and utter depravity, ignorant to the destruction they are hurtling toward at breakneck speeds.

    But I also know that the love of God, and the plans He has, are bigger and more powerful than anything the devil can scheme up.

    So, we would like to encourage you today. Do not let the difficulties of the days we live in cause you to become distraught or fearful.

    God is giving us glimpses of His light and His power.

    Set your face like a flint and fix your eyes squarely on Him, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

    He truly holds the future in His hands.

    And if you are His child, He holds you in those same hands.

    Take comfort in Him and rest in His peace that surpasses all understanding.

    Amen 🙏

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-24

    Psalm 31:24 (NKJV) 24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.

    Are you facing something extremely difficult right now?

    Do you wake up in the morning with fear hanging over you, making you want to stay in bed?

    Do you feel alone, like no one knows or cares about what you are facing?

    Does it feel like you may not make it through this?

    We want you to know that you are not alone.

    You may be feeling less than optimistic, but God is bigger than the obstacle you are facing.

    We realize that may sound cliche. But we promise you it is true.

    We have also faced difficult challenges at times. We know how it feels to be flat on our backs, looking up and having no idea how we will overcome the obstacle before us.

    But God is forever faithful. He does not change, and His arm is not short.

    God’s infinite wisdom supersedes earthly troubles. His understanding transcends human intellect.

    His solutions confound the most intelligent human minds. But those solutions are as solid as God Himself, our Rock and Redeemer.

    So, as you walk through the trials and difficulties of life, lean on Him. Hold fast to Him. Let Him give you the strength to push through.

    For it is in Him alone that we find our strength.

    Psalm 27:1 (NKJV) 1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-23

    John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

    Life is never perfect; not for any of us.

    Some of us deal with some very hard things in our lives, and we don’t always find a solution for them.

    Some of these things last a long time… years and years. For some, these things might even last for a majority of their lives.

    People often question this and ask why these things happen. Why do some people suffer so much in their lives?

    There are no perfect, happy-ever-after type answers for the questions that get asked when these kinds of situations are encountered.

    Sometimes life is just hard, with situations that are hard to understand, and even harder to endure.

    Sometimes these things happen as consequences for choices we have made. Other times, they happen by no fault of our own. They just happen.

    But take note that Jesus told us in the verse above that trials and tribulations would come. None of us is exempt.

    Does that mean we can’t ask God for help or wisdom about our situation? Absolutely not.

    The best thing we can do if we are in these kinds of situations is understand that God is our rock and our fortress in everything that we face.

    He is our source of peace and of hope.

    He is our solace (comfort, consolation, cheer, support).

    His joy is our strength.

    We should be seeking Him every day, not just to ask Him how to get out of our situation, but also to ask Him what we can learn from it.

    How can we bring glory to Him in the midst of the storm we are traveling through?

    Let us grow while facing trials. Let us look to Him for His comfort and strength. And let us find our joy in Him, even as we push through times of great difficulty.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-22

    Psalm 71:5 (NKJV) 5 For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.

    During times of joy and happiness, and in seasons when everything seems to be “just right”, we don’t usually think much about hope.

    We don’t really need to since everything is going well.

    It’s only during less pleasant seasons that hope comes to mind.

    So, when those tougher seasons happen, where does our hope lie?

    Many will put their hope in different things. Most times that hope will be in the thing that is viewed as being the solution to bring the tough season we’re enduring to an end.

    In reality, though, regardless of the season we are navigating, God is our only true source of hope.

    Why does it seem so hard sometimes for us to understand this and hold tightly to God as our source of hope?

    Most of the time this is due to our flesh not wanting to hold onto something or someone we can’t see and Who may not satisfy our intellect.

    You see, our minds like to have something to hold onto that we can easily understand and explain.

    But God blows that all apart because He doesn’t use human logic when He does something.

    Dividing a body of water to allow a huge mass of people to pass through, providing water from a rock, speaking through a donkey, using a prostitute to save some of His people during a time of battle, raising a dead man from a grave, healing a blind man by spitting into dirt and rubbing mud on that man’s eyes; these are all things that God did.

    Not even one of them makes sense to our human understanding.

    And yet, this is the God we serve and Who loves us enough to send His son (God incarnate) to die for us.

    That is true hope, found in the Creator of all that we see.

    Hold onto Him and rejoice as He continues to confound the wise and baffle human understanding, drawing hope from Him no matter what season we’re in.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-18

    Romans 8:24-25 (NKJV) 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

    Hope. It’s what our walk with God is based on. None of us has ever seen God. Yet we pursue Him and follow Him.

    We trust that He has our eternal destiny in His hands. Why? Because His word says so.

    Some may ask why we believe in Someone that we can’t see. But that question contains its own answer.

    If we were able to see God, there would be no need for hope or faith. Once something is seen, hope and faith are no longer necessary.

    But we know that our hope is not in vain. Although we may not be able to see God face to face, He reveals Himself in many other ways. Creation demands a Creator.

    The sights that we take in each and every day are a confirmation for the hope that we have.

    The new life that enters the world when a new baby is born is proof for the hope we have.

    The sun rising and setting each day, and the planets that surround us are evidence for the hope we have.

    The birds of the air and the fish of the sea are just a tiny piece of the foundation for our hope.

    And there is so much more that we could say. But it’s not necessary. Because He speaks for Himself in so many ways.

    So, we wait eagerly and with perseverance for the hope that our faith is built upon, knowing that one day we will stand before Him, taking in the glory of His presence, in all of its awe and wonder.

    Lamentations 3:24 (NKJV) 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 1-15-18

    Psalm 71:5 (NKJV) 5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth.

    Our relationship with God gives us hope.

    We serve a Creator who wants only the very best for us.

    Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

    Sometimes we may not feel like there is any hope, especially when things just seem to go wrong again and again.

    But, rest assured that this is just life and the things that happen to all of us from time to time.

    As we have mentioned many times in the past, seasons come and go. And each season offers unique opportunities as well as unique challenges. It’s not the fact that challenges come that determines who we are. It’s how we handle them that matters.

    It’s always easy to lay down and have ourselves a little pity party. But that will never help us or change anything for the better. It will do quite the opposite.

    So, we say to you today, rise up! Shake off the sorrow and the discouragement. Look your challenges square in the face and claim the victory that Jesus has won for us on the cross.

    Rebuke the devil, in the name of Jesus, and push forward.

    Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-16

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

    Hope. It’s what our walk with God is based on. It’s what our eternity is based on. Without hope, our lives are pretty pointless. But with hope, our lives are meaningful, bountiful and beautiful!

    Sometimes the situations we face can make us feel hopeless. Believe us when we tell you that we know from experience. We have been there.

    But when we hold fast to our hope, and to the God and Father who gives us that hope, we come through those trying times with new faith, new hope and a bigger trust in God.

    Lamentations 3:24 (NKJV) 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

    God is calling us to trust Him in everything. He wants us to have such hope and faith in Him that it permeates every aspect of our lives.

    Does that mean that we will live like Christian superheroes, never making mistakes or never having a weak moment? Nope!

    But it means that we will look to Him in everything that we do, every choice we have to make and every situation that we encounter.

    Why? Because we understand that He is the one who gives us hope; that incredible hope that gives our lives meaning and gives our souls reassurance that somehow everything will work out, despite what our eyes see in the natural.

    And as we continue to hold onto that hope, our lives will be transformed, one day at a time, so that this hope we speak of becomes the very foundation on which our lives are built.
