Bible Verse of The Day – 5-6-24

Proverbs 25:21-22 (NIV) 21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

If only we could get this right. How different our lives would be.

When we view someone as an enemy, we tend to have a “standard set” of reactions within us, stored up and ready for that moment when they are needed to inflict reciprocal harm or punishment on those who would hurt or harm us or our loved ones.

It is a natural human reaction.

It is not, however, a Holy Spirit-led reaction. It is our flesh acting out.

God’s word tells us plainly that we are not to repay evil with evil.

1 Peter 3:9 (NIV) 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

In fact, Jesus told us that if someone strikes one cheek, we are to turn the other cheek to them.

Matthew 5:39 (NKJV) 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

This flies in the face of every human emotion that rises in us when we are treated in ways that are less than what we expected.

But it is what God expects of us; treating others as we would like to be treated, even when they have acted to the contrary.

It is seldom easy. We absolutely need to lean on the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to lead us in actions that conflict with what our flesh wants to do.

But though it may be difficult, we can do this, through Christ, who strengthens us.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-20-19

1 Peter 3:8-9 (NKJV) 8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

When we return love for evil and can be a blessing to someone that has treated us badly or spoken negatively about us, this shows that God’s compassion, tenderness, and mercy are moving very strongly in us.

Those 3 things functioning in us will confirm that our focus is no longer on ourselves, but on pleasing God. Our focus is no longer on getting someone back or thinking we have to be right, but on knowing the right thing to do in that moment , and doing it, even while faced with evil.

God’s mercy being shown in the right time is what touches the hearts of men, women, and children.

If we want to walk in the blessings of God, let these verses penetrate so deeply in us that we won’t think twice when the opportune time arises. We will be willing and honored to take that moment to let God’s love and His light shine brightly through the things we do and say.

Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-8-19

Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV) 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

It’s hard to walk in a way such as this without the love of God moving through us. The weakness of our flesh can love someone one moment, and in the next breath tear them apart when they’ve done something wrong.

That is not the kind of love that will stick through thick and thin. That is a fleshly love. That kind of love will not love our enemy. That love will not show up when it’s time to do something good for someone that hates us. It will not bless or pray for those that have hurt us.

Luke 6:27-28 (NKJV) 27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

What kind of love will give us the strength to endure such a task? It’s the Holy Spirit taking our heart, one piece at a time, and feeding it God’s very Words from the pages, and us swallowing it and digesting it.

We will see a difference in ourselves when we have fully digested it.

This isn’t always easy. Walking in this kind of love takes time, effort and a whole lot of putting things in God’s hands. But, with His help we can do it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-29-16

Genesis 1:22 (NKJV) 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

We are children of the Most High God! He has blessed us and commanded us to be fruitful.

He has given to us what we need to be fruitful. We have wisdom, knowledge, understanding, strength and compassion through His Spirit that lives in us. And we take Him wherever we go.

If we are in school, if we have a job, or if we go to church, He comes with us. We take Him to the gym, shopping and out with friends. He goes with us everywhere!

He has blessed us and made us in His image.

Let’s show others what our Daddy is like, as we are forgiving, sensitive, kind, loving, caring, happy and giving to those we encounter and spend time with.

Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
