Bible Verse of The Day – 8-22-18

Luke 12:6-7 (NKJV) 6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

We are of more value to God than even the sparrows that He does not forget.

Do you believe this with your heart today?

Many years ago, we had just come home from church. We were in a very hard place in our lives and we needed something from God. We needed to know He was there, that He was with us.

You know those moments when you just long to see one little thing? That’s all it will take to let you know it’s OK and It will all work out.

As we walked toward the door to our home, Pastor Curt saw a sparrow sitting on the ground. He slowly walked up to it, reached down and stroked the sparrow’s head. And the sparrow stayed right there, letting him pet him for as long as he wanted to.

It was in that moment that God brought great comfort to Pastor Curt, and he was encouraged and lifted up in his spirit.

God speaks to us in many ways and He will bring reassurance. We need to be open and listen.

He cares for us deeply. He is there with us and will help us if we trust Him long enough to let Him see things through.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-30-17

Numbers 22:27 (NKJV) 27 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff. 

Sometimes God will use some pretty unconventional ways of getting our attention and speaking to us. 

And at times He will use people, that we may not necessarily like or prefer, to get a message across to us or to teach us something. 

It’s not uncommon for us to discount certain people or ignore God’s messages to us when they come via these less-than-preferred messengers. But that’s a costly mistake that can hurt us badly if we don’t make corrections and listen to what they have to say. 

Balaam was on His way to a place that God had told Him not to go unless He specifically ordered him to do so. God’s anger was aroused toward Balaam and He placed a large angel in his path to block him from proceeding. 

When the donkey he was riding saw the angel and refused to go further, Balaam stuck the donkey three different times, until God actually opened the mouth of the donkey to rebuke him. 

We can be pretty sure that a donkey was the last thing that Balaam expected to hear talking to him and rebuking him. 

But if God chooses to speak through a donkey, He will do so. And it’s not up to us to decide whether we will listen or not, just because we don’t like the messenger. 

Yes, it’s important that we very carefully weigh the words that are spoken to us. But if someone comes to us with true words of God, it will benefit us greatly if we put aside our preferences as to the delivery method and pay attention to what is being said to us.
