Bible Verse of The Day – 3-22-21

Psalm 119:130 (NKJV) 130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

God’s word is the single most important thing that we can partake of as a child of God.

His word feeds us, gives us wisdom, offers counsel, gives us understanding and does so much more for us as we take it in and apply it to our lives.

This simple scripture above sums it up perfectly, telling us that the entrance of His word gives light.

What this means is that it brings light to our minds and our spirits, allowing even the simple to understand things that would otherwise be incomprehensible to us.

This is why it’s so important for each and every one of us to spend time in His word. Whether we are a new believer or we have been a believer for many decades, we all need a daily infusion of His word.

It brings light into the darkness, truth that prevails over lies, freedom where there is bondage.

Here’s the key to all of this; we need to read it.

We need to determine within ourselves to set time aside each and every day to read it, take it in and let it speak to us by His Spirit.

This one thing will move us closer and closer to God, as we apply what we read to our hearts and to our daily lives as we walk them out here on earth.

We will never, ever be sorry for time spent in His word.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-27-20

1 Peter 1:24-25 (NKJV) 24 because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, 25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

Life. It’s conceived, it exists for a season, and then it’s gone.

Peter quotes a scripture from Isaiah (40:6-8) to make his point about this.

The original scripture from Isaiah uses grass and flowers to draw a parallel between the brief life of grass (and flowers) and a human life.

We all know that human life is fragile and fleeting. But many times, we don’t grasp this truth as solidly as we should. For some reason we just can’t seem to fully wrap our heads around the harsh reality of it.

As we grow older, though, we usually start to comprehend it in a new way that makes it more real. Losing someone in our lives can also drive this home on a personal level.

What’s most important in this particular scripture, though, is the comparison that’s made between the quickly-passing life of humans and the eternal nature of God’s word, and the incredible power that God’s word has to change us.

You see, we can’t change the fact that life comes and it goes. We live and then we pass on into eternity. This never changes.

Our lives while we’re here on earth, though, can be changed by God’s word, which never passes away.

In fact, our lives can be changed dramatically by His word!

So, it’s important that we not focus on the temporary nature of life, but rather on the way that God can change us and use us for His glory, no matter where we come from or what we’ve been through.

Life is here today and gone tomorrow. God’s word is not. His word endures forever. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-22-20 – The Big Picture

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings! 

We pray that you are walking more closely with God today than you were last week or last month! 

We have another new video out today, “The Big Picture”. 

In today’s video, we discuss and teach about making sure we’re always looking at the big picture when it comes to learning from God’s word. 

Too many mistakes can be made if we only use “scripture snippets” or small pieces of verses taken out of context. 

The video is short and to the point and it was fun to record. 

We hope you‘ll take a few minutes to watch it. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Enjoy your day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-19-20

Deuteronomy 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

We need wisdom to follow God.

We need wisdom to stay close to Him. We need His wisdom to make wise choices to do what we should do and not do what we shouldn’t do..

So, what is Moses talking about here? What is this “wisdom” he refers to? How do we get it, and where does it come from?

Moses is telling the Israelites that their wisdom comes from observing and following the Holy scriptures, which at that time were largely comprised of God’s statutes.

To observe (follow) the scriptures will bring wisdom and understanding, not just to us, but to all those around us.

Knowing what God says about certain situations is crucial.

2 Timothy 3:15 (NKJV) 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Scripture reading will help us to know God better.

It will build our faith in Christ and help us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)

It’s not an easy world we live in today. The atmosphere is tense and very heavy. But as we spend time in His word, we will know how to pray and what to pray for.

Our ears and eyes will be alert to what is going on in the Spirit world, and we have the tools (wisdom and understanding) if we stay in the Word of God.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-20

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’

Putting God’s Word to work in our lives will keep our discernment sharp.

We will be in tune with His Spirit. He will keep us strong in areas where we are weak.

But we have to stay in His word. Even if it is just a little bit each day, it helps.

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

Now, how much time do we give Him in His word? Only we can be honest with ourselves and answer this question.

If we haven’t been giving Him time, then that is probably why we are struggling with restlessness, fear, worrying, and are always in a very frustrated state of mind.

Start today. Give Him some of our time.

Things will come together. He will bring encouragement and stand with us in all that life throws at us.

Deuteronomy 20:4 (NKJV) 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-20

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

God’s word is what helps us to walk in faith. If we don’t have His word in us, the faith we have will be weak. We need to be constantly building it up by keeping His word fresh and new in us.

We’ve got to be hearing Him and what He is saying through His words. And in order to do this, we’ve got to make an effort to spend time reading it and soaking it up.

You know, like one of those books we enjoy and can wait to get home and read. All day we think about getting home so we can get back into it. That’s how the Bible needs to become for us.

It has to be THE book that has priority. The book that calls our name. The book that speaks to us even when we’d rather be doing something else.

Read its words. Stay connected, and we won’t get off track.

We will see change come to us and our situation as we begin to grow in our faith.

WE have to do it, though. No one else can grow our faith for us. Read, and read some more. Hear what it is that God is saying in His word. Take it to heart and enjoy it!!

This book was written for us. It’s our faith builder! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-19

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

The world is dark.

That darkness can spill over into every aspect of our lives if we’re not careful. And before we know it, it will overtake us, dragging us downward a little at a time.

God’s word is a lamp to our feet. It gives light, cutting through the darkness, revealing things to us that we might otherwise not see. And some of these things could be very harmful to us if we were to encounter them without warning.

God’s word is also a light to our path.

So, not only does it illuminate our feet and the area immediately around them, but it shines ahead of us, lighting the way for us as we move forward, showing us the path that God would have us take.

Additionally, God’s word will illuminate us, from the inside out, when we feed on it regularly! And the light that emanates from us will shine on others, bringing His light into their dark world.

Set some things aside and spend time in His word. It’s more than just a book. It’s alive!

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-29-19

Matthew 4:1 (NKJV) 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Jesus fasted for 40 days. And at the end of that time, the devil came to tempt Him.

Because Jesus hadn’t eaten for 40 days, the devil offered Jesus what he thought would be the most likely thing to get Him to fall; food.

Jesus rebuffed the devil, telling him that man doesn’t live by bread alone, but by the word of God.

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

The devil tempted Him again, taunting Him and encouraging Him to throw Himself off of the high place they were on, telling Jesus that God’s angels would surely protect Him if He decided to do so.

Again, Jesus countered the devil, telling him that we should not tempt God.

Matthew 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

The third attempt, the devil took Jesus to a very high place. He showed Jesus great kingdoms of the world and all of their glory, telling Him that if He would bow down to him, all of this could be His.

Once again, Jesus rebuked the devil, telling him to leave, and reminding him that we shall worship and serve God, and only God.

Matthew 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

So, if Jesus, the Son of God relied on God’s word to rebuke the devil, how much more should we also rely on God’s word to defend ourselves from the wiles of the enemy?

How much more should we hide God’s word in our hearts to make sure we can stand strong when the pressure of temptation tries its hardest to drive us backwards and bring us to our knees?

Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

His word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Let’s follow that light and stand strong in Him!

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-18

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Knowing the word of God and what He says about certain things is our weapon against the enemy. It helps protect us from his lies, deceit and temptation.

If we don’t know what God says about something, it makes it easier for us to fall into the devil’s trap. We need to educate ourselves and stay fresh and revived.

Let God revive us daily, keeping ourselves close enough to Him so that we will learn something new on a regular basis. We will have a revival in our hearts every day.

Do you need to be revived? Get in God’s word! Don’t wait. Get in there and start reading, even if it’s a little at a time to start off. Dig deep. You will come out refreshed, renewed and revived!

You will see your heart change right before your eyes, and you will have life and life more abundantly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-18

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Staying in God’s Word will keep us close to Him.

The devil loves to keep us busy and distracted with a million and one things to do, people pulling on us from every direction, just to keep us out of the word of God. Why? Because God’s Word that we put in us will feed us, fill us and keep us healthy and balanced, moving us forward every day.

It’s not good to give up our time with God to do other things. If we have an emergency, or something comes up and we have to change things up a bit, that’s OK. But, make sure we get our time in with Him. He will start us off every day on the right track.

There have been days when I am completely in a tizzy before I even get out of bed. But as soon as I get myself in the word and in prayer, God just sets me straight. Isn’t He AWESOME?!

You see the enemy will work hard at bringing in distractions even before we get out of bed. Our heads will get so full of thoughts of what needs to be done that we lose our focus before we even start the day.

So, hold the Word close to us. Keep it within reach, so that when we need it, it will be right at our fingertips! Just open it up and start reading.

God is faithful to help us through each day. Stay close to Him.
