Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-25

Philippians 1:21 (NKJV) 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

This verse carries so much weight once we “get it”.

Many believers will not understand this verse until many years into their walk with Christ.

But length of time is irrelevant.

It is the strength of our walk that lies at the heart of understanding. A believer who grows rapidly will understand this more quickly than someone who grows at a slower pace.

And sometimes it simply requires a person to bring it to our attention for us to be pricked by the Spirit of God and prompted to consider its implications.

You see, our walk with God is not (should not) be a mundane endeavor whereby we simply go through the motions, repeating specific steps each day.

It is intended to be alive and vibrant, growing over time and drawing us nearer to Him with each passing day.

It is when we approach our relationship with Him with such fervor that we begin to understand the truth of the verse above, and we then experience personally. That is when “the lightbulb goes on” for us and we get it!

When our walk with God has matured to this point, we begin to live out this concept of “to live is Christ, and to die is gain”, as Paul penned the words.

There comes a time in our lives when we no longer hold so tightly to the things and the ways of the world, and we begin to focus more intently on the things of God and the redemption that Jesus paid so dearly to provide for us, that we may be grafted into the True Vine that gives us life.

Father, help us to long for you with every fiber of our being, that we may walk out the words of Paul and bring glory to your name.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-16-16

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Most of us want a better relationship with God. We want to know how to strengthen our walk with Him and have that closeness that our spirit longs for. And we want our lives to be fruitful.

So how do we make that happen?

Jesus laid it out for us in the verses above; We need to abide in Him. If we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit.

What does that mean? What do we have to do to abide in Him?

It means that we stay close to Him. It means that we do whatever is necessary to remove the barriers between ourselves and Him, allowing us to draw near to Him. It means that we put Him first in everything, even if it means giving up some things that we like or that mean a lot to us.

Just like raising plants that produce fruit, which takes hard work, so it is with our walk with God. It takes work.

We get out what we put in. If we put only a small effort into it, we will get only a little fruit out of it. But if we give it our all, we will get so much more out of it.

But the key isn’t to focus on what we will get out of it. The key is to build that relationship because we want a closer walk, because we love Him above all else.

And when we get that right, when we get our priorities in order, then we will see things fall into place. And our walk with God will become so strong that nothing can interfere with it. Ever.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-16

Genesis 2:7 (NKJV) 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

If God never formed man and breathed the breath of life into him there would be not one human being in this world.

He created us and He cares about us. He is a very personal God. Take every day seriously, for it is precious. Let us spend time with God, giving Him our attention and our love.

We need to be accountable to Him every day, looking to Him for His guidance and support in all that we do. We need to own up when we do wrong and let Him know that we acknowledge it and want to do better.

He wants a beautiful relationship with us; a relationship where we trust and acknowledge Him.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

He is a GREAT and Mighty God and He has good plans for each one of us! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-29-16

1 Timothy 2:5(NKJV) 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

Our relationship with the Father can be as deep and as strong as we want it to be. Isn’t that AWESOME?

There is NO limit to how much time we spend with Him! We can go to the Father morning, noon or night. Why? Because Jesus Christ, our Mediator, has made this possible.

We don’t have to go through any other man to get to God. What a privilege and honor!

Are we working on our relationship with Him today? Are we growing stronger in our walk or are we still at where we were when we first came to know Him?

Draw near to Him today by communicating and spending time with Him.

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.

He is faithful!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-6-14

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God

The salvation of our eternal souls is free… a gift from God.

He gives salvation freely, without prejudice based on our race, our ethnicity, our financial status or any other factor.

God loves us freely and offers us His plan of salvation freely.

On the other hand, our relationship with God is something that doesn’t just happen freely.

It takes effort. It takes work. We get out what we put in.

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

As followers of Christ, we need to take the necessary steps to strengthen our walk with God and build that relationship into one that stands the test of time and lasts through tough situations and fiery trials.

In fact, as our relationship with God grows, the fiery trials that do come our way will show us where we’re at with Him and help us to see where we are weak and where we are strong.

And we also need to understand that growing our relationship with God won’t stop tough times from occurring in our lives, but it will equip us to handle them better and come through them without being mortally wounded spiritually.

So we need to accept God’s gift of salvation and then put forth the effort required to take those next steps and grow our relationship with Him. Amen.
