Bible Verse of The Day – 7-11-26

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

What’s important here?

The word “humble”.

You see, prayers are powerful when we are in a place of humility. They are much more sincere and meaningful prayers.

Maybe there are a lot of things that have happened to us this year, or or maybe in past years, and we are upset because we never seem to get ahead.

But know that with hard times comes humility if we persevere and don’t give up.

Romans 8:25 (NKJV) 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

When we have been through the fire, most times we will come out humbled, knowing that God saved us. For with Him, nothing is impossible!

Humility before Him will bring answered prayers and victory!

Luke 1:37 (NKJV) 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”

I know, it’s not always easy to stick it out because our human nature says, “get out of here, run, run far away”.

And sometimes, that’s just what we want to do; get somewhere where we don’t feel the pressure or stress of what we are facing.

I tell you today, don’t run!

Humbly come before God, cry out and tell Him what you are facing. He will bring healing to your land.

“Then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-27-26

1 Peter 5:8 (LSB) 8 Be of sober spirit, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Most of us would rather not think about the reality of this verse.

Nonetheless, it is something we must face. We do have an enemy. And he is bent on destroying as many children of God as he can before God eliminates him and relegates him to hell for eternity.

Take heart, though, in knowing that we are not defenseless!

God has given us every weapon we need to defend and protect ourselves.

He has given us the Holy Spirit, prayer, and His Word as mighty weapons of warfare, just to name a few.

But there is one that we often overlook. And wielding this one weapon is necessary if the others are to be effective.

Bear in mind that this weapon is rarely labeled as such. It is often overlooked. But it is powerful, regardless. In fact, it is REQUIRED.

What is this weapon?

Humility!

You see, without humility we are setting ourselves up for failure; doomed to fall into the traps laid by Satan himself.

Look at what Peter wrote just two verses prior to the one above.

1 Peter 5:6-7 (LSB) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, 7 casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God.”

This action on our part lays the foundation for protecting ourselves from the wiles of the enemy.

We MUST allow God to show us our pride. And then we MUST allow Him to remove it from us.

And let us pray that He does not have to do so through circumstances that leave us with no choice but to bow before Him in surrender, repenting for what we have done in pride.

Be sober of spirit, be humble, be wholly surrendered to God, and the enemy will have no foothold in our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-26

James 4:10 (LSB) 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

The importance of humility before God is often overlooked in the big scheme of things.

We may understand that it is important. But we may also fail to recognize how important it is.

Therefore, it frequently gets neglected.

If we were to look at this objectively and honestly, we would see that humility before God is the foundation of our relationship with Him.

It takes humility to admit that we need Him.

It takes humility to recognize that without Him we are lost and condemned to hell.

And it takes humility to surrender ourselves to him in obedience.

If we could just get those three areas right, so many other areas of our lives would begin to fall into place. Many of our problems would slowly disappear.

Why?

Because we would be subjecting ourselves to the Kingship of Jesus Christ and allowing God to change our hearts so that we would live and walk more like Him.

Have you ever noticed how much humility is required to admit when we are wrong?

Or how about when we realize we have wronged someone and we need to repent and apologize, asking for forgiveness.

We need to multiply that humility exponentially to understand the level of humility that is required in our walk with God.

And what does the word of God say will happen when we put this into practice?

He will exalt us.

1 Peter 5:6 (LSB) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-25

James 4:6 (LSB) 6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

The word of God is full of references to pride and the problems associated with it.

And there are many accompanying people in the Bible whose lives were destroyed by pride.

You see, pride leads to the fall of even the strongest believers if it is left unchecked.

Conversely, humility is rewarded.

The verse above states clearly that God opposes the proud but gives grace to those who are humble. That verse alone should be enough to have us running as far from pride as we can get.

But sometimes we fail to see our own pride.

Why?

Because pride can be very subtle. It creeps in and dwells in us without us knowing it or, at the very least, acknowledging it.

And there it makes a comfy home until we recognize it for the evil that it is, and we evict it.

We must learn to walk humbly before God.

James 4:10 (LSB) 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

We can see the contrast between humility and pride in the lives of King David and King Saul.

One had a heart after God. The other allowed himself to be consumed by pride.

One, David, was promised that his dynasty would be carried out for generations. The other, Saul, had the kingdom torn from him because of his pride and disobedience.

1 Samuel 15:28 (LSB) 28 So Samuel said to him, “Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor, who is better than you.

Pride always precedes destruction.

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He might be exalted in our lives, and our pride be cast away from us all our days.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-25

Matthew 5:3 (NKJV) 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Upon studying this verse, I needed to understand what He meant, first by “poor in spirit”. This would allow me to know who receives the kingdom of heaven!

Another word for poor in this statement would be, humble.

According to proverbs 16:19 it is better to be of a humble spirit. It’s when we are humble that God can look upon us.

In Isaiah 66:2 who does God say He looks upon?

He says, on all those things I made, and of all the things that exist, it is on this one I will look; him who is poor (humble) and of a contrite spirit, the one who trembles at His word.

His Spirit will live and rest upon a man, woman, or child  who walks in such humility.

To be poor in spirit means that we have acknowledged a great need for Him, the importance of repentance, and Him saving us from our sinful selves.

We acknowledge, through a humble heart, that we must let Him change us and lead us the rest of our lives in our day to day activities and decisions.

Being poor in spirit is humility that comes through a God-changed heart.

We are blessed, for our home is with Him.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-2-25

James 4:10 (LSB) 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

If we do a search of the entirety of the word of God, we will find that the word, “humble” is used at least 70 times.

Additionally, “humility” is used at least 10 times.

It is safe to say that God wants us to be humble before Him.

Humility is a quality that we must not only understand, but practice daily.

If we see ourselves for who we truly are apart from God, we will readily allow God to teach us humility.

Some of us learn humility more easily than others. Some require God to apply discipline and chastening for us to learn humility.

Some of us must fail many times and see ourselves in our failed state before we humble ourselves in His sight.

Eventually, we must see the pride that is in us, even in the most hidden places, and allow God to root it out if we wish to walk closely with Him.

How important is this? See what is said here in Proverbs.

Proverbs 3:34 (LSB) 34 Though He scoffs at the scoffers, Yet He gives grace to the humble.

To those who are haughty (scoffers, scornful, condescending), God scorns (ridicules, rejects, looks down on) them.

But to those who walk in humility, He gives grace (undeserved favor, pardon, generosity, blessing).

Humility is also associated with being meek. What did Jesus say about those who are meek?

Matthew 5:5 (NKJV) 5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

Let us endeavor in our hearts to learn to walk in humility, that we would be pleasing to God.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-19-24

Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

We live in a world that is full of self-absorbed philosophies and vain deceit.

If we are to remain humble, we must pay attention and work on it daily.

Here are a few things we can keep active in our walk with God that will help us remain humble.

Esteem (think of) others as better than ourselves.

Look out for the interest of others.

Continue to grow in hearing God and obeying His word.

Obeying the things He places on our hearts will not only keep us humble, but will also keep us walking in His wisdom.

What are the fruits of living a humble life?

It can improve relationships and make us more empathetic toward others. It also shows maturity on our part.

When we recognize our weaknesses and take responsibility for them, when we listen to others and admit when we are wrong, when we find it in ourselves to serve others without looking for something in return, this is evidence of us allowing God to build our character and make us more Christ-like.

Walking in humility is not something we can fake or mimic. It must come from the heart to make it meaningful.

The older I become the more I like being around humble people. They are real, and most of them have been through so much in their lives that when they talk they are full of not just stories, but experience, sound words, and wisdom.

This tells me that going through things in life isn’t always as bad as we’d like to claim it is, but can help us learn valuable lessons.

It can keep us in a good place in our walk with God.

Remember today, that with the humble is wisdom! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-24-24

Zephaniah 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the Lord’s anger.

Who are the meek of the earth?

They are the people who are humble, gentle, and patient, not seeking power or aggression; essentially those who are willing to endure hardship without retaliating. Those who forgo worldly power.

We need to guard our heart and behavior so we do not follow the ways of the world around us.

We cannot let those who are ungodly influence our thinking, causing us to do those things we know are contrary to the word of God.

Show Him how much we love Him by setting our heart to please Him!

Matthew 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

When we look to follow God, not just by mere words, but in our actions, we shall be filled. That’s a Promise!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-27-24

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

To push aside our natural intellect and understanding to allow Him to guide us through our daily activities by His Spirit is very much humbling.

For this purpose, He sent us a Helper, the Holy Spirit.

What more could we ask for than to have the Holy Spirit lead us through this life? I think outside of salvation it is the next best thing for believers!

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

He will lead us through our daily activities and the most difficult times we will ever walk through.

With His provision we will come through it every time if we follow His guidance and be disciplined in holding tight to His plan.

Reaching out to Him every time we need to make a decision may seem like we are incapable of living our own life.

Quite frankly, it is just the opposite.

It takes courage on a whole new level when we forego our understanding and let Him lead us, guide us or tell us what to do. It is a very humbling endeavor to learn to trust Him in everything.

It is not easy at first. But as we continue to walk in such a way, it does get easier. And our life gets much better than we would expect.

Living humbly in the sight of the Lord is the opposite of how the world may say we should live.

This is exactly why we cannot follow the examples of the world. If we were to look at those the world lifts up and calls examples, what would we see in them?

Pride, vanity, greed, perversion, and a lack of love; all things that are against Christ.

What does the word say about those who are against Him?

Matthew 12:30 (NKJV) 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Let us walk in humility and follow His steps, through which we will bring unity to the places in which we tread.
