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 – 8-25-17

Hebrews 13:1 (NKJV) 13 Let brotherly love continue.

Today, as we sit here to put another Bible Verse and devotional message together, we are reminded of how devoted each one of you are.

Our hearts are humbled and we are ever so grateful for the love we receive from you, our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Going into this year, we had some things we were facing; things that we needed God to make provision for.

He told us to trust Him when we stepped out 8 years ago. He told us to trust Him when we decided to do what we felt He was calling us into. Not knowing how it would turn out, we stepped.

We passed up job opportunities that would take care of us and bring security. We passed up living in areas we would love to spend time in. Instead, we said yes to God.

This changed us for good. We had no idea that on the other side of this computer, you would be there. You were there waiting, listening and open to God for what He wanted to say and do through you.

He has used you to help us in this faith walk. You have been obedient in your giving and your sowing, both in your time of drought and in your time of feast! You have stepped out and obeyed. And God took care of our needs.

Thank you for helping us. Thank you for listening and stepping out, and for following what God has put in your hearts to do.

Together we will continue to reach this world with the message of the hope found in Christ. We will bring His hope, peace and love. We will stand together and help people find the truth, as we found ours. Amen

Here is our heartfelt prayer today.

Dear God in Heaven,

Bless these dear ones who have been ever so faithful, diligent and consistent, not only in their giving but in their walk with YOU. We know that You have blessed them for their obedience more than we could ever do. We pray Your protection over them.

And we pray for a burning desire in them to keep growing, keep obeying and keep walking close to You. Help them to keep trusting that as You guide them to take new steps, they never look back. That they just move forward in this journey You have them on, knowing You will be right there with them.

And we pray these things in the precious name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen

God bless you all. We are here for you!

Love and tight hugs to all of you from the bottom of our hearts.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-20-17

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NKJV) 22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

Sometimes we do things that we know aren’t pleasing to God. They seem like small things or they may seem like big things. Either way, they make us feel pretty bad.

Sometimes we carry guilt and shame because of the things we’ve done. We walk around with this on our shoulders. And sometimes the weight of it can be pretty heavy, maybe even to the point of making us feel like we might collapse under it.

But here’s the deal. That thing that we did yesterday, last week or even last year? It’s not ours to carry. God wants us to give it to Him. He wants us to confess it, repent and then leave it behind.

Why? Because He is compassionate and merciful. Forgiveness is His to offer to those who simply ask with a sincere heart. And His forgiveness is forever.

Each morning as we rise up, we are given a new day, clean and pure, to walk out God’s steps for our lives. It’s like a bright, white, pure sheet of paper with nothing on it. So why should we spot it up with yesterday’s sins and sorrows?

Give your guilt and shame to Him today. Let His mercies wipe your sins away and make you spotless.

Today is a new day. And just as this is a new day for you, His mercies are new for you also.

He’s offering them to me and to you. Take Him up on His offer.

He is faithful.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-7-17

Genesis 18:14 (NKJV) 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

God spoke to Abraham and told him that his wife, Sarah, would have a son at the appointed time. Sarah had been barren for years, and now they were both old and well past the age of having children.

Do you feel like you are just chomping at the bit to get something done on your home, or save up to purchase a car to drive? Maybe you have been waiting for a spouse or for your children to change in their behavior.

Some people are waiting for things to change in their marriage. You are praying and believing God, but you feel like it will never change; it feels like it’s too late.

I want to remind you today of His appointed time and Whom your faith is in.

God is not going to leave you empty-handed. He will not turn His back on you, and He will not ignore you. Your prayer is not voided out.

He is God. He is forever and ever! He doesn’t forget what we have asked of Him, even if we haven’t seen any changes as of yet.

He won’t disappoint us. He won’t say “Oh, my dear child, you have asked me for so much. You met your quota and I cannot give you another thing”.

God is faithful. God is Good. He will remember, and you will get your answer as you stay steadfast in your faith. Sing praises to Him today, for in that appointed time He will meet your needs!

Psalm 57:7 (NKJV) 7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.

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 – 1-13-17

Deuteronomy 29:29 (NKJV) 29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

God’s word is filled with wonderful blessings for each one of us. He reveals them to us throughout the Bible. They belong to the children of the Most High God, Lord and Savior!

King David shares about how good His Lord is to him as he places his trust in Him alone.

Psalm 21:6-7 (NKJV) 6 For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. 7 For the king trusts in the Lord, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

The Lord God Almighty is a good God! We are blessed, and in His presence there is peace, love and joy! His mercy and grace are forever with us, as we stay close to Him and walk in His ways.

We are never alone. We are protected in His mighty hands.

Psalm 21:13 (NKJV) 13 Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.

We are a blessed people! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-20-16

Deuteronomy 7:9 (NKJV) 9 “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

Are we wondering, God where are you? Are we feeling tired and lost today? Do we need a helping hand? This verse reassures us that God is a FAITHFUL God to those that love Him and keep His commandments.

We need to hold onto our faith, keep on track, and not take our eyes off Him.

Looking too far ahead when we are in a crisis will cause us to want to do two things; To faint, or to run from our problem.

The best way to go through a trial is to know that it’s OK to take one day at a time. We don’t need to try to figure it all out. We may not even know how to figure it out. Because of what we are going through our emotions will be all over the place.

Some days we will feel sad. Some days mad and some days tired before we even get out of bed. These are normal feelings that the flesh goes through.

We need to know that even though our situation may seem impossible to fix, there is Someone Greater than us who can turn it around.

It’s OK to be hanging by a thread, if we know Him. It’s OK if we are down in the valley, or flat on our backs, if we know Him. It’s OK if everything around us seems like it is falling apart, if we know HIM! Why?

Because through Him, all thing are possible!!

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.”

Look at this season as a great opportunity to draw even closer to our Creator.  A time to lean on Him and watch Him move mountains for us.

Focus on Him, not our crisis.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-16

Hebrews 6:14 (NKJV) 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

This is God’s promise to Abraham, that He would bless him and multiply him.

Has God spoken to our hearts and told us what He would like to do with us and for us? Is He reminding us today that those things which He has spoken to our hearts He has not forgotten? And yes, it may have been a while, and time has passed by, but He is faithful to do exactly what He has said He will do.

Let Him prepare us as we wait on Him. When all is right, the time will come and we will look and see the GOODNESS of our Heavenly Father.

Hold tight to Him. Continue to press in and draw close. He has not forgotten His personal word to us.

Isaiah 1:19 (NKJV) 19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-5-16

Psalm 119:64 (NKJV) 64 The earth, O Lord, is full of Your mercy; Teach me Your statutes.

God’s word is full of real life lessons. His statutes are written throughout it.

We took our lunch break down by the ocean yesterday. While enjoying the beautiful ocean, we were reminded of how God split the sea open for Moses and the Israelites so they could cross over when they came under attack by the Egyptian army.

Wow! What a lesson of deliverance.

Can you imagine seeing an army of people coming after you from a distance and all you see in front of you is the deep blue sea? I would have been so scared, not knowing what to do, with fear and anxiety rushing through my mind. What do we do GOD? We’re stuck. Our backs are up against a wall!

But Moses knew His God and cried out to Him and God told Him what to do.

Exodus 14:21 (NKJV) 21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

They were able to cross over to the other side on dry land!

Boy, they surely got to see a miraculous thing done right before their eyes. It’s just so incredible. How could anyone ever be the same after seeing that? After seeing God’s hand move in such a powerful way.

This is a lesson for us. God is showing us that He was there for Moses. He was there for the Israelites. And He will be there for us as well! He is faithful.

Are we feeling captured, with nowhere to turn, with the enemy breathing down our necks?

Follow His statutes. Hear what He is saying to us. Take His words and live them out. Make it personal. Claim His promises over your life today.

He will deliver us! His mercy and love for us is the same as it was for them.
