Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-19

John 14:27 (NKJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility, restfulness, lack of anxiety.

The world pursues peace. We hear about it literally every day on a global level.

Individuals pursue peace on a personal level. We all desire peace in one way or another.

And yet peace seems to elude most who seek it. Why? Because most of us look for it in the wrong places or by the wrong means.

True, lasting peace only comes from one Source; Jesus Christ.

When we commune with God, we become one with Him. His spirit gives us peace of mind. But it gives so much more.

God gives us freedom, through Christ; release from the things that try to weigh us down and keep us in bondage.

Think about it. The world has removed God from just about everything they can remove Him from. They’ve kicked Him out. And yet they still seek peace, to no avail.

Church, we have the key to peace; Jesus.

It’s up to us to share this peace with others. We do this by living it out on a daily basis, loving people, demonstrating His peace in our everyday lives, even when the world seems like it’s falling apart.

There is much to be said for being a walking, talking testimony of His love, which brings a peace that surpasses understanding!

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-21-18

1 Peter 3:11 (NKJV) 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

The more of God we get in us, the more at peace we will be.

How do we get more of God? We turn away from evil ways and do good.

Sin is what puts distance between us and God. If we can be fresh in His word every day, through reading and prayer, our spirit will be quick to listen and hear what the Holy Spirit is reminding us of; what to do and NOT to do.

The Holy Spirit will convict us, whether we are in the process of doing something or just starting to do something, He doesn’t care. He will let us know.

He doesn’t wait for a convenient time. He just moves, and we are to listen and act accordingly.

For instance, maybe we are out and about among friends, and they seem to be having fun. Maybe they begin doing things that we know aren’t good. But the next thing we know, we are going along with it all.

It’s in those moments when we get tempted or off track, and we start to go down the wrong road, that He will pipe up, tap us on the shoulder or quicken our spirit. And He will remind us who we are in Christ.

It doesn’t matter to Him who may get offended by it. He’s there to be our Helper and He does an excellent job of it.

None of us are perfect. God knows when we are slipping and need Help. Stay in His word. Be prayerful and listen when He is tapping us on our shoulder. Turn away from what is wrong and do what is good.

Seek peace and pursue it! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-12-18

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Having a drive for something is OK, as long as it is what God wants for us. If it’s not what God wants for us it can be very dangerous. It can make a mess of things quickly and we will lose our peace.

For example, maybe we want a specific position, or maybe a material item.

Watch out for the phrase, “oh, wouldn’t that be nice”. That can be the beginning of an unnecessary drive, a waste of valuable time, for something that’s not meant for us.

We may catch ourselves starting to go down that road and digging deeper, trying to find out more about it. The next thing we know we are spending all our time and effort trying to make it happen, trying to possess it and make it ours.

Whenever we want or think we need something so badly, it will begin to drive us. It’s crucial that our drive be aimed toward the things that God wants for us. Nothing else.

One way to check ourselves at any point in time is to pull back and say, “hold on, wait a minute, I need to make sure this is right for me”.

If we can’t do that, and we just keep plowing our way through, trying everything we can to make it happen, then we are most likely being driven by our motives, our wants and our desires. God is not a part of it. It’s all us.

To keep this from happening, we have to keep an eye on our hearts during the process. How? By keeping ourselves accountable.

Make sure we are taking time with God, and we don’t just push Him off and ignore His promptings, His warnings, and His red flags. Be aware and alert throughout the whole process, making sure His peace is present and prevalent.

He has no problem helping us to know if we are getting ready to make a BIG mistake. We just have to pay attention to the signs, use wisdom and take action to stay on the right track.

If we are being driven today by something that is not going to be right for us, we need to stop, no matter how far in we are. Then we need to pull back and take some time to get God’s direction. He is faithful to help us see clearly and bring understanding, as long as we’re willing to listen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-14-17

Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 

What is the peace of God? 

Sometimes we can get confused about what God’s peace really is. Yet, the peace of God is very important to our lives as His followers. 

God’s peace surpasses all understanding. That means that we can have peace and not even understand why. 

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

It also means that we can have His peace even though we might be in a situation that would normally cause us to be freaking out or fretting every second of the day. 

The world can seem like it’s falling apart, yet we have a peace that can’t be explained. 

God’s peace guards our heart and mind. It protects us from becoming completely frazzled by the things we face. 

But let’s be very clear. God’s peace is not the same as having peace of mind. God can give us peace of mind, but His peace goes beyond peace of mind. 

Peace of mind means that our mind has enough understanding to cause us to be at ease. God’s peace is quite the opposite! 

Our human understanding can’t comprehend God’s peace. It doesn’t make sense to our minds. It isn’t logical. 

But it’s 100% real! 

So, how do we have God’s peace? 

We draw near to Him. We press in and we learn of Him. We communicate with Him. We study His word. 

We get so close to Him that we can hear His heartbeat. Just as the disciple who laid his head on the chest of Jesus, we need to be that close to God. 

So, push aside the cares of this world and press toward Him. Do whatever it takes to reach Him. Make whatever effort it takes to push through the crowd, block out the noise and escape the busyness. And touch the hem of His garment. 

It will be worth the effort when we feel His peace surround us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-8-17

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Where is all of our time spent? Is it at work or on work?  If it is, our relationships will suffer, along with other things.

If all of our time is spent on our family and relationships, instead of our other responsibilities, other things will suffer as well.

When things get out of balance we will feel like everything is chaotic. We lose the peace that God wants us to walk in, and that can cause misunderstandings with those around us.

Keeping things balanced will open the door to a peaceful atmosphere, both in us and around us. It is a learning process and takes action on our part.

Are we willing to learn? Are we willing to do what needs to be done to keep things balanced? If we can answer yes to this, then we will find a better way in this life than the way it has been going for us and our family.

Life is a funny thing. We all need to be taught how to live the way God intended for us to live. Even Adam and Eve blew it. But God did not stop life because of it. Instead, He made another way.

We shouldn’t give up on our family, and we shouldn’t give up on our work because things aren’t working out the way we thought.

Press in, and let God help bring a healthy balance to it all. And as we do, we will see and feel the peace of God surround us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-10-17

Deuteronomy 10:21 (NKJV) 21 He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

Going through times and seasons that are out of our control should be a normal thing for those that are leaning on God. But no matter how much we want to make it a normal part of our lives, our flesh loves to have that control over things. We are in a constant battle with wanting to have control.

We think having control over things will bring peace. But, peace will actually come when we let God have control.

God is teaching those who will give all control over to Him how to walk in such a peace.

This doesn’t happen overnight. It takes some time to learn. But each time we give a situation, circumstance, or a problem over to Him, and just let Him unfold it, we will get better and quicker at going to Him with everything.

His faithfulness is greater than anything else. We just need to allow ourselves to see it by letting Him help.

Psalm 46:1 (NKJV) 46 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-17

Psalm 73:25-26 (NKJV) 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Those busy seasons in our lives do come upon us at times. But if we spend the time we need with God, to sit, listen and rest, all that busyness won’t get to us.

You know that feeling you get  sometimes when it gets extremely busy? That overwhelming, get me out of here or I’m going to lose it feeling? God has a way of calming us right down and making that all disappear.

Just a little reminder today to make time for our MAKER. He will get us through it.

Our strength comes from HIM. Amen.

Happy day! You are loved and appreciated!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-17-16

Romans 14:8 (NKJV) 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

This verse brings great comfort in knowing that we are the Lord’s, for those who sincerely and truly believe in Him. We are His!

While we live here on earth and when we pass on, we are His. While we are here, He will guide us, protect us, carry us, lift us up, help us and provide for US as we trust in Him!!

No matter what, we belong to Him. He will be there for us.

John 1:12 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Enjoy your day knowing that you are the LORD’S! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-26-16

John 14:27 (NKJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

There’s a lot of stuff happening in the world around us. Sometimes those things can cause us to get distracted from our relationship with God. They can even cause us to begin to question Him or feel uneasy, because maybe we don’t understand it all.

It’s important that we not let the things that are happening distract us from our walk with God or lose our peace. Because sometimes we can get so focused on the things that trouble us, our walk with God can suffer.

We need to remember that our peace doesn’t come from the world or from our ability to understand everything with our intellect. And we also need to remember that as we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. And, in turn, our walk and our relationship will grow stronger and our peace will grow as that relationship grows!

And, as our relationship grows, these other things will become less of a distraction and will no longer cause us to question God about so many things.

It’s not wrong to have questions. But we need to understand that sometimes there will be no concrete answers that satisfy our intellect. So we need to learn to hear God and seek understanding by His spirit.

And when we do that, we will have God’s peace; the peace that surpasses understanding.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-27-16

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.”

Have peace. Be of good cheer.

These very words were spoken by Jesus Himself, telling us that we can rest in Him, no matter what’s going on in our lives.

It’s important that we stay joyful in our lives, not letting the things of the world and the trials we face bring us down and cause us to be depressed or disappointed.

Life will throw stuff at us that can sometimes be pretty difficult to handle. And sometimes it can try to pull us off the path that God has set us on. It can play games with our minds, causing us to get distracted. And when we get distracted, we can become weak in our faith.

But Jesus promised us that He will give us rest when we’re tired, weary and heavy with the burdens of life. We don’t have to walk around feeling defeated and beaten down.

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

Letting Him carry our burdens isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but once we hand them over to Him, our lives change for the better, since we’re no longer weighed down with cares and worries.

It can take some time for us to get used to the idea of handing our troubles over to Him, but once we get the hang of it, it gets easier and easier. And when we begin doing this on a regular basis, we will feel so much freer and more joyful than we have ever felt in our lives.

So let Him give you peace, and be of good cheer, for He has overcome the world!
