Bible Verse of The Day – 6-8-18

James 1:19 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath…

In this life, no matter what age we are at, we will need to learn how to get along with others.

We will either be the one that gives in very easily, even though we know we are right, just to save an argument. Or we will be the one that is not going to budge. You know, that “I mean what I say and I’m sticking to it!!” kind of person.

There are going to be times when God will ask us to be the one to give in, even though we may be right in what we are saying or doing. This allows Him to help the one that is in the wrong to see themselves.

In order for them to do this, we may need to let them make a wrong choice and follow through with their actions.

Someone very wise once told me, “sometimes we need to let them go through the fire”. Ouch!

If we intervene, how will they ever see the results of their actions or errors?

There will be times when we need to stand firm and not give in, for sure. But just a little reminder, that’s not always the case.

Be alert to what God may be saying in that moment of disagreement. The way we carry ourselves may help the other person to see where they need to make a change.

Only God knows what it will take. Be quick to listen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-16-17

Proverbs 1:33 (NKJV) 33 “But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”

It’s important that we listen to God’s voice and heed what he says. There is wisdom in doing so.

God promises us that if we listen, we will dwell safely, we will be secure and we won’t have to fear evil.

That’s a whole lot of security right there!

It’s easy sometimes to ignore God’s words and His promptings. But it’s safe to say that if we do that, we do so at the risk of losing out on His blessings.

So it’s to our own benefit that we listen and follow what he shows us to do.

Be secure and live without fear of evil.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-16

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

This is a verse we’ve taught on many times in the past. Today, however, we want to teach on it from a bit different point of view.

We need to put God first in everything we do. And this is how this verse usually gets presented.

But there is another area where we may not be putting God first, so let’s talk about that for a minute.

Prayer. This is an area where we tend to spend time asking God for things we need, want or desire. And there’s nothing wrong with asking God for things. The Bible says in James 4:2 that we have not because we ask not.

But when and how we ask is just as important as the asking itself. Here’s what we mean.

When we talk with God, do we spend more time asking for stuff than we do praising, worshiping and thanking Him for who He is and what He has already done for us? Do we dive right in to all the things we want, and then utter a quick “thank you” before we quit praying and head on our way?

Putting God first in everything also includes in our prayer time. We need to be sure to spend time giving to God before we ask Him to give to us.

No, this isn’t bribery or sweet-talking God. It’s just a matter of giving Him what He deserves!

And as we learn to do this, we will be more likely to experience a more powerful prayer life because we will be focusing more on God and less on ourselves. This will help make us more sensitive to Him. And that’s always a good thing.

So before we start running down our list of wants and needs every time we talk with God, let’s be sure to spend some time giving God the honor and glory He deserves. And let Him do some of the talking too.

After all, what He says is well worth listening to!
