Bible Verse of The Day – 4-15-24

Hebrews 9:1 (NLT) 1 That first covenant between God and Israel had regulations for worship and a place of worship here on earth.

Everything in the Old Covenant was based on rules and laws.

Prayers, sacrifices, and worship all had a specific order and a required method by which they must be done.

Priests were required to lead the people and carry out these rituals.

The people depended on the priests for every aspect of their relationship with God.

Today, that is no longer the case.

No more are we required to depend on priests or other men to intercede on our behalf for these things.

When Jesus breathed His last breath and surrendered His spirit, there were several significant things that happened.

One of those things was the tearing of the temple veil from top to bottom.

This veil separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place (the Holy of Holies). Only priests who had been specially prepared were allowed to enter the Most Holy Place.

It was in the Holy of Holies that the priests went before God to make the sacrifices required for the remission of the sins of Israel.

After the veil was torn from top to bottom, the barrier that kept people like you and I from going directly to God was gone.

It had been destroyed!

We now have unfettered, direct access to the God who created us and breathed life into our lungs.

His word tells us that we can now go boldly before Him to obtain His mercy and grace.

Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Thank You, Father, for removing the barriers, and for allowing us to approach You directly, without fear of retribution.

In return, let our lives bring honor and glory to you in everything we do.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-10-24

Colossians 2:6-7 (NKJV) 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

These two verses are the “formula” for building a strong walk with God!

In reality, there is no secret formula. But what is stated in the verses above gives us a strong base to work with. But let’s look at a breakdown of these verses.

Walk in Him; learn of Him, put into practice what He taught, and follow the example He set while He was here on earth.

Rooted and built up in Him; taking what we learn in His word and walking it out in practical ways each day.

Established in the faith; maturing as we gain understanding and knowledge, not wavering in our faith.

As you have been taught; showing our faith by example, making it alive in our lives so others can see Jesus in us. By this we glorify God with our lives.

Abounding in it with thanksgiving; the truth of the gospel, and the love of God, flows out of us as people see God transforming us, and we express our gratitude toward Him in all that we do.

Growing as a believer isn’t as difficult as we often make it.

The biggest factor or requirement in all of this is a willing, obedient heart.

We just need to let God touch our heart and make it pliable. Once that happens, so many other things will begin to fall into place in our walk with God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-23

2 Chronicles 15:15 (NLT) 15 All in Judah were happy about this covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. They earnestly sought after God, and they found Him. And the Lord gave them rest from their enemies on every side.

God is a good God.

He honors those who honor Him.

He gives rest and peace to those who earnestly follow Him and His ways.

The verse above states that all of Judah sought Him earnestly, and they found Him.

And God gave them rest from their enemies.

Yes, there may be seasons of chastening when we disobey and drift from Him. This is to be expected.

Why?

Because God is a good Father.

Children need discipline. And fathers who love their children aren’t afraid to chasten them when they need it.

But He also rewards us when we honor and obey Him.

For Judah, they experienced a period of rest from their enemies on all sides.

This was a big deal for them, since Judah was constantly under attack from neighboring nations.

For us, the first “reward” God gives us is salvation in Christ when we repent and accept His gift of redemption.

This is the greatest gift of all.

Not only are our sins forgiven, but our name is written in the Lamb’s book of life, giving us eternal life with Him.

Let us honor Him in all that we do, seeking Him earnestly each day, pursuing Him relentlessly, drawing near to Him, that He might also draw near to us.

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-10-23

1 Chronicles 18:6 (NLT) 6 Then he placed several army garrisons in Damascus, the Aramean capital, and the Arameans became David’s subjects and paid him tribute money. So the Lord made David victorious wherever he went.

“So the Lord made David victorious wherever he went”.

There is a lot we can learn from this short statement.

But in order to learn from it, we need to ask this one question; why was David victorious wherever he went?”.

The answer to that question is very simple and straight forward.

David loved God with all his heart and endeavored to honor God in all that he did.

David was not perfect. But he considered God in every decision he made. He despised false gods. He also abhorred people who stood against his God.

David was not afraid to stand against those who stood against his God. And he gave honor and credit to God for his victories.

His wife, Michal, even looked at him with contempt and she despised him in her heart because he danced and leapt with joy before the Lord in public.

2 Samuel 6:16 (NKJV) 16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

And when Michal confronted him about making a spectacle of himself in public, here’s what David told her.

2 Samuel 6:21-22 (NKJV) 21 …“It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight….

Let us all honor God the way David did. Let us all put Him first in our hearts and in the choices we make every day, that He might give us victory wherever we go.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-9-22

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Take time to sing and praise Him for His marvelous work.

Take time to be silent and recognize Him for Who He is.

Take time to pray.

The greatest moments in my life have been in these 3 places.

I’ve had such wonderful moments with God when I was just singing and praising Him for Who He is!

There is nothing like it. It’s better than anything we can imagine.

His presence is powerful! He is alive and real and willing to meet us where we are at. He is never too busy for us. And He waits for us to come to Him.

We never have to worry about Him not coming to us. It’s the other way around.

We have to make the effort to push everything else aside and come to Him.

Do we make time? If we don’t, no one will make it for us.

When we spend time with Him, we become stress-free, alive, and full of joy! He takes the weight off us and fills us with His lightness.

Hallelujah!!
