Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-21

1 Kings 3:7 (NKJV) 7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

Here, Solomon is asking the Lord to help him in the position that He set him up in. This is a very important detail.

The Lord had placed Solomon where he was. And Solomon is speaking to the Lord saying, “you have made me king, but I don’t understand how or what to do. Please help me, guide me and give me Your understanding to handle this position. The people of Israel are too numerous for me to handle and I need Your understanding to know how”.

1 Kings 3:8-9 (NKJV) 8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. 9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

Don’t ever be afraid to ask God how.

He expects us to come to Him and ask whatever we may need from Him.

If we are shy or too prideful to ask, we will risk losing what He has placed in our hands.

You see, just because He places us in a position or on a new job doesn’t mean it’s ours forever. Maybe He has given us something to handle and take care of for a season or time.

God will guide us as to what to do, and how He wants it to be carried out.

God is moving His children into areas and places we’ve never been before, doing things we have never dealt with before; new ground and unfamiliar territory.

We are not alone. God Himself is with us all the more. Call on His name for help and clarity.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-23-21

2 Samuel 22:7 (NKJV) 7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry entered His ears.

The Lord heard David’s voice.

Do we cry out to Him? Do we talk to Him? And do we ask for His help?

David did. Why? Because David knew that what he faced was bigger than him.

2 Samuel 22:18 (NKJV) 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; For they were too strong for me.

Admitting that what stands before us is bigger than us is crucial.

Could it be that we don’t cry out and get help because we think we’ve got this? We want to keep the reigns in our own hands? We keep pushing to take care of it on our own.

When the enemy is way too strong for us, do we let it keep on beating us down because we refuse to ask for help?

David cried out, and if we read on, we will see that he is reflecting on how God helped him through so much!!

What is our problem? Is it that we don’t cry out? Is it that we don’t want to ask for help because then we may have to accept the fact we actually need help?

Could it be pride that keeps us from getting the help we need and pride that keeps us in the struggle and the war we are in today?

David knew, time after time, that as he cried out to His Father, help would come. And David was strengthened by God’s hand each time. Not in a prideful way, but he was strengthened in his faith toward his Father, knowing He would be there somehow, in some way, to rescue him.

We need to let God help. But before He can, we have to realize that what we face is too big for us.

And then we have to open up and cry out for help, believing He will be our refuge and our fortress!!

Psalm 91:2 (NKJV) 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-19

Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV) 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior, we not only gain eternal life, we also gain strength.

People don’t realize how weak we are without Christ in us.

We may think we are strong because of the way we handle ourselves from day to day. But wait until one thing happens that we weren’t expecting and then see how much we need Him.

It’s not that we want anything to happen to anyone, but the Bible specifically tells us that in this world there will come trials and tribulations. But it does not say we will overcome them on our own.

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.”

It specifically says that He has overcome them, and if we are His children, we too will overcome them as we walk in His wisdom and strength.

We are weak without Him. But the good news is that He gives power to the weak! He increases our strength!

Have we ever been going through a tough time, yet we can still smile and be an encouragement to someone?

People may not understand how we could have joy in the midst of a storm or help someone else when we ourselves are going through some things. But that is the strength that He gives us in our weakest moments.

He is good! Eternal life is the most precious gift anyone could ever be given. But that is not all that He gives us. He cares enough to help us here on earth before we reach heaven, and He increases our strength as well.

When we receive Christ as our Savior, He sets us free from sin, gives us eternal life with Him, and gives us strength when we are weak. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-19

Psalm 118:5-6 (NKJV) 5  I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

When fear hits home, when problems come, when we have no idea how to fix something or change it, call on the Lord. Call on the name of Jesus!

Don’t wait one more second. The Lord will answer, and He will set us in a safe place. A place where we can discern and hear what it is that we need to do.

Follow Him and obey the answer He gives to help us, even if we might not understand it all.

He is on our side.

Psalm 121:2 (NKJV) 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Do not be afraid.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-19

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

We very rarely put ourselves in a place where we have to be strong. If anything, we try to avoid such situations. But there may come a time when we will all find ourselves in such a place and we don’t know how to handle it. We think we are all alone and have no one to turn to. But that is not the case.

No matter what we have to face we can always turn to the Lord and face it with Him. He is there waiting to help us.

So, when it is time for us, we need to remember what the Lord says and hold it dear to our hearts. Be strong, not by our own strength, but be strong in Him who goes with us wherever we go.

He is here with us and for us, standing strong as always. Willing to uphold us with His hand.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Oh, Heavenly Father,

Thank you today for always being there for us. You’re always willing and ready to help Your son or daughter. You are so good to us, and we want You to know that we are grateful and blessed for the love that you have for us.

We love you. In the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-19

Psalm 50:15 (NKJV) 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

One of the biggest mistakes we can make as believers is to try to solve all of our problems on our own.

So many times, when we get into a situation that’s troublesome or problematic, we totally forget that we have a Father who wants us to go to Him for help. And we try to face it on our own.

It’s a natural reaction for most of us to jump right into action and start problem solving. But God wants us to go to Him first, before we jump into action. In fact, when we do jump into action, the first thing we should do as part of our problem-solving steps is to ask Him for His help!

It can take some time for us to break free of our old ways and start doing things the way God wants us to. Habits are hard to break.

But if we will let God help us break this one, it will help make our lives easier, more enjoyable and, most importantly, more God-pleasing.

So, let’s learn to put God first, even in our problems. Let Him lead the way through the darkness and out into the light, where we can give Him all of the honor and glory for delivering us. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-18

Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

How many of us try to be strong at something in particular, and time after time we fail?

We think, “oh, maybe next time we will get it right”. We keep trying and we make an honest effort, but still to no avail.

There is a reason we keep failing. But we can’t let it discourage us. We just need to get understanding, so we can get it right. So here’s what most of us need to change.

We need to let God be our strength. It is in our weakness that His strength is made perfect.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

So, we can’t give up and look down on ourselves. Be encouraged today and let Him be our rock.

These things we keep battling with are the very things that we need His power, might and strength if we are to conquer them.

Be strong in the LORD and win! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-18

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

God has told us that His strength is made perfect in weakness. Praise God…it’s made perfect!

He can turn our weakness around with His strength.

We need to recognize our weaknesses first, and instead of waiting to go to God until we get them right or fixed, we need to run to Him with them immediately.

Most times, our very weakness will keep us from going to Him. But it’s because of our weakness that we should go to Him.

We may try over and over again to make things right. It could take us some time and we may still never get it right, only to end up right where we started again.

Weakness can’t fix weakness. But strength can fix it and get rid of it for good!

God has the strength we need to fix the weakness within us. And His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We’ve got the weakness, and we need His strength to fix it completely and get rid of it for good.

Go to Him, talk to Him about our weakness. Lay it all out and get His strength working in us.

Getting rid of the weaknesses in us may take some time. God will work on us and in us.

Don’t give up or get discouraged if we don’t feel change right away. Have faith in God and what His word says.

Be patient and keep following His steps. His strength will eventually become evident where we were once weak.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-9-16

Romans 14:11-13 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

We are all going to bow before God one day and give account for ourselves. Knowing this, we all want to do the right things and make the right decisions.

But nonetheless, we have all wrestled, stumbled and failed from time to time.

It brings me great comfort to know that God does not expect us to be perfect, but He does expect us to go to Him for help with our weaknesses. Because it is in weakness that His strength is made perfect.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

We are a work in progress each and every day, and so are those around us. Yes, even those we see doing things we don’t agree with. Instead of judging, let us go to God with our own shortfalls and let His strength be made perfect in all our weakness. Amen.
