Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-16

John 4:16-18 (NKJV) 16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

This woman spoke the truth when Jesus spoke to her. The closer we get to Jesus, the more His light shines on those areas within us that may need some attention.

We can’t pretend that everything is alright when deep down we have some things that need to be brought out into the light.

We may have been hurt in the past when we tried to share things with people, but don’t let the hurt we have received from people stop us from sharing the things we need to share with God. The way people treat us at times is different than the way God will respond when we open up and share the truth with Him.

He did not send His Son to condemn us, but to save us. And that is the very heart of God; to SAVE us from our sin!

Open up today and share those things with Him that may be hidden and painful. He will bring healing and strength, and He will uphold us. Amen.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-22-15

Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,”Says the Lord.

Those who serve the Lord, this is ours to hold onto. This is ours to remember when things come against us and try to knock us back or take us out. This is ours to remember when people say things against us or try to make us look bad.

We don’t have to say anything at times. Just know that God is on our side, and stand firm trusting Him. He will deliver us.

It may not always happen as quickly as we would like it to. But it will come, and things will be done according to the way He wants it to be done, no matter what others may say.

Hold on tightly to His word and stand our ground. God is faithful!

Bible verse of The Day – 12-9-15

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV) 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It seems that the world has been turned upside down in the last few years.

Not everyone agrees on exactly what the cause might be, but everyone can agree that the world is a different place than it was even just 10 – 15 years ago.

Seeing everything that’s happening with terrorism, civil unrest in so many countries and economic upheaval across the globe can cause us to live in fear, if we’re not careful.

But as we press in and draw near to God, we can rest assured that no matter what happens, nothing can pull us away from God and His love for us.

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…

So if fear tries to grip you, or if you begin to doubt that God is still in control, remember that He never changes, and He will never leave us or forsake us.

Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) 6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change…

Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-15

2 Samuel 7:22 (NKJV) 22 Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

There is NO other God and NONE like Him. He is our Lord God. Our Heavenly Father, Almighty God, Jehovah Jireh, El Shaddai, Prince of Peace and Mighty King! Amen.

God loves us all so much and wants a relationship with each one of us. He wants us to come to Him and embrace Him. He wants us to feel safe with Him, to share things that we are feeling and going through. He wants to help us every day. He wants to save us from our sin.

John 3:17 (NKJV) 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

His Son, Jesus Christ, is here for us today.

It doesn’t matter what we are dealing with or what we have done. He is there waiting for us.

All we need to do is call out to Him and ask Him to come into our life. We just need to ask forgiveness for the things we’ve done wrong and then trust, believe and receive Him as our Lord and Savior.

Psalm 116:2 (NKJV) 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

Talk to Him each day. He is listening. His ear is inclined to our voice!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-11-15

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.

Trust.

It’s a word that brings different things to mind for each of us. We each have had our own experiences with trust; some good, some not so good.

For most (if not all) of us, our ability to trust has been tainted, stained by our not-so-good experiences where our trust has been broken by people.

Once trust is broken, it’s a hard thing to repair. And when it’s been repaired, it might not ever be the same as it was before it was betrayed.

But there is One who we can always trust. He will never leave us or forsake us. He will never betray us.

We may not always understand why some things happen, or why things happen the way they do. But as we learn to trust Him, we will be less concerned with those things and more concerned with how we can draw even closer to Him and understand Him, and His ways, better.

Learning to trust God explicitly takes time, and it takes effort. It doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t happen just because we want it to.

It happens when we deliberately seek Him, pursue Him and determine in our hearts that He is who He says He is. End of story.

So let’s keep pursuing Him and seeking Him diligently. For He is a rewarder of those who do so.

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-30-15

Psalm 46:10(NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Be still and stay focused on what we know we need to be doing. Don’t let anyone or anything stop us or change the direction God has us going in.

There are big changes taking place all around us today, and we as Christians don’t need to fear or worry about them. God knew from the beginning what would transpire; it’s all in His Word.

We, as His children, should not be surprised in the direction things are taking. Knowing how to recognize the time and the season is important, so we will know how to carry ourselves through them.

Stay calm; don’t let the things we see and hear about throw us off track or get us caught up in conversations that are not productive, healthy, or good. Stay focused and trust God. Continue to love one another, and follow His Steps each day.

Continue to rejoice and thank God, for He is good! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-25-15

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Being still is probably a pretty hard thing for most of us to do, especially if we’re in a pressure situation or going through a trial.

One of the first things that many people want to do when trouble comes is to put on their running shoes and get as far away from trouble as possible. It’s a natural reaction for the flesh to want to avoid anything that might hurt a little.

But God wants us to stay put, sit still and trust Him.

There will be a lot of things that will come our way during our lifetimes. Some of them might be pretty dark and uncomfortable. Some of them might even scare us into thinking that it’s not worth going on.

It doesn’t matter what happens or what we’re facing, God is bigger than that obstacle, trial or situation. He holds the answer to every question we have, the solution to every problem we face and the provision for every need we may come up against.

So as hard as it can be to stay put and be still, that  is exactly what we need to do so we can hear Him and get His  answer for our dilemma.

No, that doesn’t mean that we just lay down and expect God to do everything for us. But it does  mean that we need to be vigilant, diligent and using discernment sharpened by the Spirit of God in order to hear what God is saying and then to follow through and do it.

So it’s time for us to reach down and untie our shoe laces, take those running shoes off and find a place to sit and listen for God’s direction and instruction.

He is able to do more than we could ever think or imagine. And with His help, there is nothing that we can’t overcome.

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

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-6-15

Genesis 6:13-14 (NKJV) 13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

Make yourself an ark.

What a colossal assignment!

God told Noah that He was going to flood the earth and that Noah was to build an ark to save a few humans and a large group of animals. The destiny of these few people and all of those animals was in Noah’s hands.

God gave Noah very specific instructions about how the ark should be constructed, with regard to size, materials, etc. The only problem is that Noah had never seen anything like that before in his life. Yet this was his assignment.

As Noah obeyed God and set about this enormous task, he had to move ahead based solely on what he had been told. He had no working models to copy, no predecessors to ask for help and no experience as a shipbuilder.

But, being faithful and diligent, he moved ahead, one day at a time, until the ark was finished.

Noah is a great example for us all. Too many times we are given a task or a job to do, and we want it to be completed and come to fruition very quickly.

We need to let God stretch our faith and teach us how to trust Him, no matter what things look like on the surface, in the natural.

As we do this, He will strengthen us and give us rest when we’re weary, supplying us with exactly what we need to complete the job.

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

So if we are waiting on God, have been given a task or a job that seems impossible, or just plain don’t understand exactly what’s happening in our lives, trust Him and wait on Him. He will come through.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-16-15

Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Nowadays it’s hard to find anything that’s stable for very long.

The economy is a mess worldwide. Jobs no longer offer stability. Relationships always seem to be on the rocks, falling apart under the stress and pressures of life.

But we don’t have to fear this instability, no matter what the world throws at us.

If our faith and trust is in Christ, we have a solid foundation under us. Our lives are not subject to the ups and downs of what life throws at us.

Yes, the storms will come. And, yes, we may get knocked around a bit in those storms, and sometimes we may even be wounded and have scars to show for it. But if we are anchored in Christ, we will prevail and we will be victorious in our lives!

Matthew 7:24-25 (NKJV) 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

It’s all about our faith and where it lies. Is our trust in the things and the institutions of this world, or are we anchored in Jesus Christ?

Only we can answer this question. And only we can make this choice. Choose Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-9-15

Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV) 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Have you ever doubted God?

I don’t mean that maybe you doubted something that you asked God to do. I mean, have you ever doubted that He exists?

The enemy of our soul will try to get in our heads and convince us that everything we believe is a lie. He will try to get us to doubt our faith and he’ll tell us that everything we do in the name of Christ is a waste of time.

But let me tell you something. Don’t believe it for one second. Not even for a fraction of a second!

If God didn’t exist, the devil wouldn’t be spending his time trying to convince you of it.

Every once in a while the enemy will try to mess with my head. He’ll try to get me to doubt my faith, even for a tiny bit of a second.

But I’m just as quick to tell him to shut his pie hole and leave, in the name of Jesus.

You see, I’ve seen way too much to ever doubt God. I’ve seen things He’s done in the lives of others. I’ve seen him heal my body from asthma, after having it for 30 years. I’ve seen Him deliver people from demonic oppression. And I’ve seen so much more.

God has made it hard for me to doubt Him and easy to have faith in Him and trust Him with everything about my life.

I know that’s not necessarily the case for others. I know that sometimes life can hit you hard, right between the eyes. And while you’re still trying to recover from that blow, you get hit from behind and it feels like you can’t breathe.

But no matter what comes your way, don’t ever let the enemy cause you to doubt God. He is life. Without Him there is nothing. He is our source for everything we need.

So when he whispers in your ear and tells you that God doesn’t exist, or that God is a liar, get right back in his face and tell him he’s wasting his time.

And then rebuke him in the name of Jesus and command him to leave you alone.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-15

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.”

It was many years ago that my brother lost his 4 year old beautiful little princess. She fell out of the car while driving down the road and as he held her in his arms in the middle of the road, her last word was “Daddy”.

She could breathe while he held her in his arms, but as soon as he had to lay her down for the paramedics to take her, her lungs filled up with blood and she died almost instantly.

Arriving at the hospital, where they had taken her body, I will never forget what I saw. The precious little body of my niece soiled in blood. It was the coldest, darkest day I have known.

We may think “how can anyone continue on with their life after that?”. How can we even imagine life anymore after losing someone we love so dearly? Someone that meant the world to us.

You see. with men some things that happen in this life are just unbearable, too hard, and impossible for us to get through on our own.

God knows this. He feels our pain today. He gave us this verse because He knows our frailty, or fragileness, for He created us and He gave us this verse to help us.

Don’t try to live this life alone; we need HIM!!

Give yourself and your situation to Him today. With Him, we will make it.
