Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-20

Mark 10:14 (NKJV) 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

We have been receiving prayer requests for children a lot lately and it just pains me to hear of suffering children.

I always think, “why children?”. Then I am reminded the devil doesn’t care who it is. He wants to kill, steal and destroy everyone.

Thank God He is faithful!, whether we are a child or an adult. He can heal both. God wants us to teach our children how to come to Him, in good times, and in hard times. In times of sickness, and times of rejoicing!

Just recently a little 6 yr. old girl needed prayer. The father wrote in from India. He said she was sick with a fever, not eating and she had ulcers in her little mouth. He was very worried and concerned about her.

Oh, the power of Prayer. Today we received an email saying his little girl is healed. Praise be to God Almighty! May that little child know her HEALER!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV) 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Pray for our children, whether they are sick or they need guidance. Maybe they are being led down the wrong path, hanging with the wrong crowd and developing addictions. Let them know Who God is. Teach them to run to Him in prayer.

Don’t give up on our children, no matter how bad it may seem. God is faithful! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-20

Mark 10:16 (NKJV) 16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

Jesus loves the little children; the very children that the disciples didn’t want near Him.

When Jesus saw them forbidding the children to come near Him, He was like, “oh no no, you let them come to me.”

I just love this example!

Mark 10:14 (NKJV) 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Children meant a lot to Jesus. He took them in His arms, He laid hands on them and blessed them.

We need to pay attention to our children. We need to talk with them, spend time with them, eat with them, play with them and show them love.

Jesus took them in His arms and He loved on them.

When is the last time we took our child, whether young or old, and held them in our arms?

Maybe we are angry at them for things they have done, or choices they have made. But they still need to know that we love them in spite of it all.

Some of us are dealing with children issues and it can rob them of the attention we need to give them. There may be a timing for it. But we need to let Jesus guide our words and our steps toward reconciling, so that it will be meaningful and leave an impression when it all takes place.

Parents, love on your children. Take them in your arms and, as Jesus did, bless them!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-8-17

Matthew 19:13-15 (NKJV) 13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

Jesus showed the disciples His heart for the children.

The disciples had been rebuking them, trying to keep them away from Him. But Jesus told them not to forbid the children. And He put His hand on them and prayed. What a precious example this is.

We may sometimes look at children as being little and insignificant. We may think that when they get older they will be of some importance. For now they are just children and don’t need much of anything.

But they are so much more than that. Each one of them is unique in their own way. They have a lot to offer and need certain things to help them. They are our blessings; our little miracles to nurture and protect.

It’s important that we take the time we need to train them up and be an example to them. It’s important that we teach them right from wrong, love them, help them, listen to them and pray for them.

Every little life that enters into this world, no matter how they get here, is important to Him and He loves each one of them.

Do we have children today? Maybe we think after hearing this that we blew it. We haven’t been spending time as we should with our children. We haven’t been teaching them properly. We have left them in the hands of others to train and teach them.

Maybe our children are grown up and we missed out on much of their lives because of work, responsibilities, etc.

It’s never too late. Take the time that’s needed. Get some things off of our plate and add these precious little pearls to it.

If they are older and moved out, meet up with them for lunch, or a hot drink. If they are far away, send them a card or a gift, etc. Show them how much we love them. Love is powerful.

And, just as importantly, continue to pray for them. No matter how little or how much time has gone by, it’s still important to pray for them.

Prayer crosses many rivers, tall mountains and through the valleys.  It’s never too late to pray and show our love for our children.
