Bible Verse of The Day – 2-14-23

Malachi 3:10 (NKJV) 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.

God offers us a great opportunity in this verse to see Him move.

You see, if we really understood what it means to tithe to God, we would not even think about not giving to Him.

He is amazingly detailed oriented. He is Omniscient, meaning He knows everything!

This means that He knows what we do with everything that He blesses us with, including our finances.

Some have gotten promotions. Some people have been blessed in other ways of receiving finances. And He watches to see what we will do with it.

Will we put Him first, before we dip into it? Or will we just go about doing whatever we feel we want to do with it, and tie it up with other obligations?

We have to remember that once it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s very hard to get it back.

What we do with our money is completely up to us. God gives us free will to choose. But we need to know that we will reap from our decisions.

We need to understand that God wants the very best for His children. But we can tie His hands in helping us if we don’t obey.

What father or mother would bless their child for their disobedience?

If we disobey God with our finances, why would He reward or keep blessing us if we are not listening?

Give all of our tithes to Him and let Him turn our situation around.

He is faithful, but we must obey HIs instructions in order for Him to follow through in His “pouring out”.  Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-23

Psalm 20:7 (NKJV) 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

In this topsy turvy world that we live in, I have been shown over and over again that my trust needs to lie solely in God.

Humans are fickle, and they can let us down at any moment.

Organizations, which are owned and run by humans, will also let us down.

Even churches will let us down. Why? Because they are run by humans.

And humans will disappoint us.

This doesn’t mean that we can never trust anyone. It simply means that man will eventually let us down in one way or another.

Human nature is unpredictable, constantly changing. We all fail in one way or another on a regular basis. This is just a fact of life.

Sometimes we may find ourselves putting too much trust in people or organizations, and not enough trust in God.

Psalm 146:3 (NKJV) 3 Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

Disappointment comes when we place too much trust in man or manmade entities.

We need to understand that only God will never betray our trust.

2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV) 31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

As for man, trusting people is something that we must do as part of life. It’s something that we can’t avoid.

But we need to do it knowing that man is not infallible; imperfect. This will help prevent us from being hurt so badly when someone disappoints us.

So, to summarize? Trust God. He is our shield.

2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV) 31 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-22

Romans 4:20-21 (NKJV) 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

Sometimes God requires us to do hard things.

Sometimes those things seem downright impossible. But that’s because we look at them through human eyes, analyzing them by human standards.

Serving God fully requires that we change that, learning to look at things through God’s eyes, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Abraham had to do this. He had to look beyond his age and Sarah’s dead womb to believe that God’s promise of a son would be fulfilled.

God is the God of the impossible. He is miraculous in His nature. He does what man says can’t be done in ways that man could never even conceive in his finite mind.

This is something that we all need to remember and hold close to our hearts.

It’s something that we need to be reminded of every now and then, so we don’t lose hope and let our faith in Him falter and grow dim.

On the contrary, as we face challenges and impossible situations, our faith needs to grow stronger, not become weak and impotent.

Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born. Sarah had not been able to conceive or bear a single child her entire life.

Despite this seemingly impossible situation, God made good on His promise. And Isaac was born.

This is our God; the God who makes the impossible more than possible by His mighty hand.

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.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-5-22

1 Kings 19:3 (NKJV) 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

Elijah was a great man of God; a powerful prophet who knew God’s strength and faithfulness.

He accomplished many great things as God’s prophet of that era.

Knowing this, it would seem that Elijah was without fear.

But that’s not true.

Elijah was a human, just like you and me. But after a mighty victory against 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah, he became scared. And his fear drove him to run into the wilderness and hide beneath a tree, fearing for his life.

You see, Elijah very quickly forgot what God had just done through him. He forgot that God was his source of strength. And he forgot about God’s faithfulness.

He let his enemy (Jezebel) get into his head, and he started operating by his emotions, instead of by the spirit.

And fear kicked in, causing him to run.

After he escaped into the wilderness, he begged God to take his life. He had gone from a mighty, conquering warrior of God to a fearful, tearful man, hiding from a woman who had threatened him with harm and death.

There, as he wallowed in fear and self-pity, he collapsed and fell asleep.

But an angel of God came and woke him, urging him to arise and eat, and giving him instructions to leave and go to a mountain where he would meet God.

God did meet him there. And He showed Himself to Elijah in a very powerful way.

He had a chat with Elijah to correct what was going on in his mind. And then He sent Elijah on another mission.

So, what can you and I learn from this? What can we apply from Elijah’s situation to our own lives?

We need to always remember God’s sovereignty. We need to always remember God’s provision. And we need to always remember God’s mercy.

You see, God never abandoned Elijah. It was Elijah’s emotions that got the best of him and caused him to become fearful.

God never punished Elijah for the fear he displayed or for the pity party he engaged in. Instead, God spoke with him, helped him get understanding, and then sent him on another mission.

And while He visited with Elijah, God showed Himself to him as He passed by the mountain.

God showed Elijah mercy and compassion. And in that mercy and compassion, Elijah drew strength from God and went on to complete all that God had for him to do.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-22

Job 42:10 (NKJV) 10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Job had been through quite an ordeal.

He had lost his family, his possessions and his health. And to top it off, his wife and friends were giving him very bad advice.

Job had spent a fair amount of time speaking words about God that were not favorable. He demanded an audience with God so he could question God on some things that were bothering him.

Some of those things included questioning God about the way He handles injustice, and the evil that he had seen play out over his years.

Ultimately, God had come to Job and corrected Job’s incorrect assumptions and ideas. And Job repented.

God also scolded Job’s friends for their foolish words and horrible advice for Job.

Here is a key thing we can learn from what transpired.

God told Job’s friend, Eliphaz, that he and his other friends had aroused God’s wrath against them because they had spoken incorrectly about Him. And then He told them to make a very specific sacrifice and let Job pray for them, “lest I deal with you according to your folly”.

Eliphaz and his friends obeyed God, as did Job, who then prayed for his friends and saved them from God’s wrath.

Because of Job’s repentant heart, and his obedience to God, God restored what Job had lost, and increased it.

And while some may focus on the fact that Job’s possessions were doubled, that’s not truly what’s important.

What is important is that Job repented and obeyed God. And it was this that caused God to restore Job’s losses.

Finally, it’s interesting to note that the words used in the original text actually said that God “turned the captivity of Job”, meaning that God released Job from the captivity of his situation. And then He restored his fortunes.

The key takeaway from all of this?

Stay humble. Repent. Trust in God’s sovereignty.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-22

Hebrews 6:15 (NLT) 15 Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.

Oh, what we can learn from Abraham!

Many times over the years I have heard people refer to “the patience of Job”.

But I have never heard anyone mention the patience of Abraham!

In reality, it was Job’s faith that brought him through his ordeal; his battle with the enemy and the bodily attacks he endured.

Abraham, on the other hand, had patience.

When God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation, Abraham was 75 years old (Genesis 12:1-4).

By the time Isaac, the child that God had promised him, was born, Abraham was 100 years old. Now that’s patience!

Don’t get it wrong; Abraham was far from perfect. And his wife, Sarah, was just as bad, as she encouraged Abraham to have a child with her maidservant after waiting 10 years or so.

In the end, though, God was faithful as He always is, and Sarah conceived a son in her old age. And Abraham held on for that promise, knowing that God would somehow make His promises come to pass.

Let’s try to put ourselves in Abraham’s shoes for a minute or two.

How would we have handled his situation? Would we have endured long enough to allow God to carry out His plan?

Many of us don’t want to wait 25 minutes, never mind 25 years. But as we mature in Christ, we usually learn that God’s word is true, and His promises are worth holding onto because He is faithful.

And with our maturity, we begin to understand that God’s timing is almost never the same as ours. That’s the biggest thing we can learn when it comes to trusting God and waiting on Him.

Trust God. Wait on Him. It’s not necessarily easy. But it’s God’s plan and His way that we need to follow, not ours!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-23-22

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

When things go wrong, the storm has hit and we are laying on our backs looking up, trying to clean up the messes, remember Who’s we are.

Don’t look at it all at once. Start with one day at a time. Sometimes even one hour at a time.

It’s not easy, and no one said that this life would be. Jesus said it all when He talks about tribulations. But He does end it on a good note.

He has overcome and so will we!

Maybe we’ve been through some things and we hurt from it. Maybe we are deeply scarred.

Don’t let the joy be lost. Choose to let God help us laugh again and to shine bright.

It may not happen immediately. But over time we will heal and find the strength to smile again.

Laughter will fill our hearts once again and we will have a testimony to share with others that may bring encouragement and victory in a dark season.

Look up today. Our help comes from the Lord, our Overcomer!

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
