Bible Verse of The Day – 4-19-21

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.

As each day goes by, I live by this scripture more and more.

We are living in a time where we absolutely need to trust God 100%. There’s no other way for us to move ahead and be who He wants us to be if we’re not trusting Him in absolutely everything.

I wrestle constantly with what we’re seeing. I watch evil in plain sight. It is blatant. It is in your face. It makes no effort to hide.

But no matter what we see, I know that God’s providence will play out and that His plans are better than my plans or your plans.

I will admit that I would love nothing more than to wake up one morning and see that He has swept His hand across the globe and taken care of everything that we see happening.

But that is not my choice to make. It is His. And His ways are much higher than ours.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

He sees everything; the big picture. We see only in part.

So, I will lean on His understanding, not mine. I will walk by His plans, not mine. And when I’m having one of those moments where I feel like I can’t take seeing one more evil plot carried out in plain sight, I will surrender it to Him and trust Him even more.

In the meantime, I will continue to stand on His word, His truth and freedom in Jesus Christ.

I invite you to stand with me and watch as God carries out His perfect plan.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-8-21

Psalm 37:5 (NKJV) 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

Over the last 10 years I have learned a lot about trusting God no matter what a situation looks like.

Just like you, we have walked through some pretty tough situations over the years.

For us, it began around 2012. The period between 2012 and 2016 was gut-wrenching.

That 4-5 year period made us feel like our guts were being ripped out.

In reality, though, it was our pride and many other things that were being ripped out. We just didn’t know it at the time.

Hindsight is always interesting, to be sure.

During those times of extreme duress, we learned who we were and where our trust really was.

Yes, we trusted God. But we learned that we didn’t trust Him nearly as much as we thought we did. And He was in the process of showing us what it really meant to trust Him with everything about our lives.

As we learned this, things started falling back into place.

Then along came 2020. And the rug got pulled from under the feet of the entire world.

This time, though, we leaned on God from the outset and He carried us through, as He does so very well.

What’s really interesting is that the 37th Psalm was written by David, as he questioned God about why it seemed that corrupt, evil people most often went without punishment for their sins and their crimes.

Ultimately, David came to understand that God is sovereign, and that He works things out in His way and His timing.

And so, as I have watched the incredible, very visible rise of evil during 2020 and now into 2021, I know that it is in God’s hands.

In 2021, God is once again teaching me more and more about trusting Him, especially when things don’t look the way I would like them to.

I am to pray, to fast when He asks me to, and to do battle in the spiritual realm, all the while trusting Him and His ways. In this, I know that evil will be repaid, and justice will be done when and how He sees fit.

It’s not always easy to surrender my thinking, my opinions and my feelings to His providence, but I know it’s the only way that I can learn to truly trust Him in all things.

Bible Verse of the Day – 2-1-21

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

I live in New England, where the winters are cold and snow falls from time to time.

I have lived here all my life. I was born here and have never lived anywhere else. So, you’d think that I would love the winters.

But I don’t.

Over the years, I have grown to despise the cold and snow. I very much prefer warmth over cold. I prefer to be able to go outside to walk, go fishing, spend time at the range practicing my shooting skills and enjoying the outdoors in general.

We have considered moving south, where it is warm all year. But we have never felt the release by God to do that. So, we stay put for now.

Today, as I write this, it is cold and snowing.

I find this oddly symbolic. Let me explain.

On this day, there is a very dark presence in the spiritual atmosphere.

That presence is strong. It is foreboding. It taunts.

It is the culmination of decades of activity by some very dark players, both in the natural, and in the spiritual realm.

This presence causes many to fall into despair and question the very foundations of their faith.

Now, let me get back to snow, and why I mentioned it earlier.

Even though I don’t like snow much, I see the snow that’s falling today as being very symbolic.

Snow is pure and it is white. It gives the colorless winter landscapes here in New England a fresh new look, covering up all of the gray, brown, dead-looking trees.

It’s like a sign of life and purity in the midst of a season of death.

You see, God has a way of speaking to us that we might miss if we’re not careful and vigilant to see it or hear it.

He is saying, “I’ve got this. This is not the end. It is the beginning. Follow me as I lead. Keep your eyes on Me. I will show you great and mighty things.”

We need to trust Him in all things, even when what we see with our eyes might not look the way we think it should.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-5-20

Nahum 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.

I love this reminder today.

He, the Lord, is good! Amen.

When we are in trouble, He is good. But I like what it says after that. I find it very important.

“He knows those who trust in Him.”

In other words, we cannot fake it. We either trust Him or we don’t. We can not one day say, “Oh, Lord I trust you with everything”, and then the next day say, “things are getting shaky Lord, I’m skipping the trusting part for a while.”

No. We either do or we don’t.

What does His word promise us if we do trust Him?

He, the Lord, is our STRONGHOLD! Amen.

The definition of stronghold is: a place that has been fortified so as to protect it against attack.

Our protection is in trusting Him.

How many need this today?

Things have been very difficult. Attacks are wearing us out. They are right here in our midst.

Sometimes we can hardly breathe we are so troubled. We don’t need to run or even hide. God’s got this.

Two words for you to hold onto today; TRUST HIM!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-12-20

Numbers 33:52-53 (NKJV) 52 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places; 53 you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.

God is a God of promises. He promises His people that they will possess certain things. And He is very specific with naming those things.

And His people love this.

But there is a part of this that we often overlook. When God tells us to possess something that He has promised us, there is very often a battle on our part in order to actually take possession of whatever it is that God promised us.

That’s right. We have to fight for it.

And that part can be a bit daunting for us.

This is the very part that got the Israelites into a heap of trouble, because they began to doubt God when they learned that they would have to fight to inhabit the land that God had promised them.

What we need to remember, though, is that God doesn’t just toss us into the ring and say “fight your own battles”.

On the contrary, He fights with us. And as He leads us in our fight, He gives us very specific instructions to follow that will assure us of our victory. We just have to be sure to follow His leading.

We may still incur bumps and bruises. We may get injured in the process. And we may come out of it with scars. Victory frequently comes at a price. But it is always worth it.

And when God is our Commander in Chief, He will always lead us the way we should go.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-11-20

Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

Caleb saw things through his faith in God. The others were looking at it through their own eyes; their own abilities.

We get into trouble when we try to do things on our own.

We need to make sure that when we attempt to do the things that God brings before us, we do them in His wisdom, strength, and timing.

He will not leave us to do things on our own. He will make sure He is right there with us.

Will we see it only being done through our own strength? Or will we let Almighty God help deliver to us that which He has promised?

Numbers 13:33 (NKJV) 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

As soon as they saw themselves as grasshoppers and the inhabitants of the land as giants, their faith went out the window and they let what they saw override what God had told them.

In other words, it got into their heads. And at that very moment, they lost the battle.

Caleb saw it.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen what they all saw. He did see it. But he knew in His faith that God was bigger, and he knew that’s how they would win the battle.

We can’t look at things through our own sight. If we are facing giants today, maybe at work, maybe in our health, maybe in school, maybe in our finances, or maybe in our home, we can’t let it stick.

Know that God is greater, and it’s on His Word that we stand.

He is our shield, our hiding place, when fear tries to overwhelm us.

Psalm 119:114 (NKJV) 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.

We can take the giants out if we stand firm in our faith, allowing Him to be bigger in our sight than the obstacle we may be facing!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-20

Numbers 14:4 (NKJV) 4 So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.”

Picture with me, if you will, a very large group of people who had been slaves all their lives, subject to the whims of their masters, not able to do anything of their own accord.

They worked endlessly from dawn until dark, doing nothing unless they were told to do so. They had no freedom whatsoever.

Now, picture them being set free, no longer having to endure beatings, endless hours of back-breaking labor, and now being led, protected by and provided for by God Himself.

Sounds like a really good deal, right?

Arguably, anyone in their right mind wouldn’t want to trade this scenario for anything in the world.

But the Israelites did!

When they reached a place of being unsure of their destiny, they wanted to go back to slavery. Seriously! They wanted to trade their freedom for familiarity, even though it would mean giving up everything they had gained.

Why? Because their current situation was uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable because it was new to them.

They didn’t know what to expect each day. They had no routine, no schedule. And this scared them.

It scared them so much, in fact, that they would have willingly returned to Egypt and subjected themselves to slave labor just to have a little security.

Do we ever do this? Do we ever long to go back to an earlier time just for the sake of being in a situation or in surroundings that are familiar and a bit more comfortable for our minds, even though it usually means being far worse off overall?

It’s safe to say that we have probably all done this, or at least thought about doing it, more than once in our lifetimes. And many of us do it frequently.

The good news, though, is that there is a fix for this. It’s all about learning to trust God with our lives, letting Him lead us and guide us, without constantly questioning Him and asking Him why He’s doing what He’s doing.

This takes time to mature and develop in our lives. It doesn’t happen overnight. It also doesn’t happen if we don’t make the effort to grow our relationship with Him.

But when we do put forth the effort, we are rewarded with a flourishing walk with God and a faith in Him that stands strong even in the face of the most adverse situations, and a trust that can’t be broken no matter what we face.

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-20

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

We will face many things in life that seem impossible. And, in reality, some of them are impossible from a natural point of view.

But with God, all things are possible.

With men, it might be impossible that unpaid bills somehow mysteriously get paid. But with God, all things are possible.

With men, it might be impossible that God could use us because we are untrained and uneducated. But with God, all things are possible.

With men, it might be impossible that our “incurable disease” be cured. But with God, all things are possible.

With men, it might be impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, But with God, all things are possible.

With men, it might be impossible for a sinner to be saved. But with God, all things are possible.

With men, it might be impossible for a drug addict to be set free and made whole again. But with God, all things are possible.

With men, it might be impossible for a person who lived a Godless life to repent on their death bed and enter into the kingdom of God. But with God, all things are possible.

You see, God will not be kept in a box. He is no respecter of persons. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.

And though some of the things He does may not make sense to our heads, we need to be thankful for that!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-20-20

Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

This is a well-known verse that we often see and hear quoted around Christmas time. And while it’s understandable that it would be used as such, there is much more going on here!

As of the day and moment that this is being written, much of the world is in a state of panic. Coronavirus is making its way around the globe. The media is causing fear and trepidation in the hearts of millions as they focus on this sickness and put fear into the hearts of men and women.

And while there is cause for concern, it’s important that we not let the hype and the fear take hold of our hearts.

Why?

Because we live under the hand of the Prince of Peace, the Everlasting Father, Mighty God.

You see, a Godless society has nowhere to run. They have no one to go to for peace, solace or answers to their questions and fears. It is for this reason that we see the panic on an increasing frequency and level over the last decade, as God has been pushed aside and largely eliminated from so many societies.

As followers of Christ, children of the Most High God, we don’t have to fall into the hysteria or panic. On the contrary, we should be peaceful and of sound mind during these times.

It doesn’t mean that we don’t see the seriousness of a situation. It simply means that we know the One who gives a peace that surpasses all understanding, even when the world looks like it’s falling apart.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Trust Him. Cling to Him. Press in to Him. Draw near to Him.

And while the world around us gets whipped into a frenzy by Godless people who have no spiritual understanding, and no sense of who He is, we look to Him for everything that we need, trusting that He will guide our each and every step.
