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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-22

Psalm 19:14 (NKJV) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

I truly enjoy reading and studying God’s word. With each bit of new understanding I gain, I am drawn closer and closer to Him.

I have learned that the deeper mysteries of the word really draw me in and help me mature as a believer.

But sometimes I like to reflect and meditate on some of the most foundational truths. They help shore up my faith and keep me grounded.

This scripture is one of those.

Specifically, those last five words really sum up who God is to me; “my strength and my Redeemer”.

And I especially like the Hebrew word for strength literally means “rock”.

That is what God is. He is my Rock.

He is who I cling to every minute of every day.

Why?

Because He is the only One who can be counted on day after day to be stable and unchanging.

In Him there is no variation or shadow of turning (James 1:17).

What exactly does that mean?

It means that, unlike everything else about the earth and the rest of creation, He never changes. He doesn’t move. He is fixed (stationary), so to speak, so there is never any danger of Him not being there or suddenly changing.

He is the one constant in each and every one of our lives.

Cling to Him. Draw near to Him. Trust Him with every fiber of your being.

He will never, ever fail us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-22

Psalm 73:25-26 (NKJV) 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Don’t dwell in the land of negativity. Know that God is on our side, and He can turn things around.

Sometimes it may seem like He doesn’t move when we would like Him to. Or maybe He doesn’t move the way we would like Him to.

But if we trust Him and stay steadfast, knowing He will get to the bottom of it, He will. And it just might happen in ways we would have never dreamt of.

God likes to have something to work with. He loves when we give Him a sacrificial offering, so to speak. It shows Him we are really serious!

And it’s important that what we offer Him is not just what we want to give Him, but something He may want us to give up.

This is usually something we are going to feel the loss of. Things that cost us a little bit of discomfort will usually cause us to get serious.

It catches our attention when we give up things we enjoy having. Money and food are two very good examples of this!

They are two of the most important things that bring comfort to us.

How do we sacrifice our money and our food to God? Through tithes and fasting. When we are obedient in doing these things, we will see change.

We may be asking God, “what do we need to do today?”.

Here’s the answer to that question.

We need to stop the negative talk about how bad off we may be, and do something about it.

And what do we do about it?

We trust God with our sowing and fasting, knowing that He will provide for us in whatever we may be going through.

Get serious with Him. He is our strength. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-22

Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) 9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

When we want the Lord to direct our steps, our ear must be in tune with Him.

And how do we do that? The Holy Spirit must be given the freedom to have dominion over our flesh.

It’s OK if we want to plan our own lives. But we need to understand that if we are not willing to let God direct our steps, we will only get out of it the fruits of our flesh.

Many believers today are wondering why God is not intervening on their behalf.

We need to understand that God intervenes on our behalf when we give our plans over to Him. He goes to bat for us when we are walking out His steps.

We can’t jump on board and then jump off and expect results that are in line with still being on board. We’ve got to stick with Him through thick and thin.

For instance, if we want a particular job really badly, and we go after it because it’s our desire to work at a particular place, we may get that job and be excited to be there. But we may not get the full benefit of what God had for us.

If we wait on God to direct our steps, it will all happen in His time and the results will be far better than us trying to do it on our own with our own knowledge.

Having our own plan is not necessarily a bad thing, and God does not look down on us for it. But anything that God has or wants for us would be much better, of course, and He would definitely have the way and purpose for it.

It’s up to us. We have to decide.

Sometimes we are already in God’s plan without even realizing it. Many times our heart is just wanting and longing to be close to Him, so we end up walking out His plan unknowingly, living in His blessings because of our obedience. Praise be to Him!

It’s not complicated at all. Don’t stress over it.

And when we are there, we will notice how fulfilling it can be as we flow in following His lead.

Our prayer is for us all to walk in His plan for our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-22

Genesis 12:1 (NKJV) 1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

Go to a land that I will show you.

These are the only words that God offered Abram (Abraham) when He told him to leave his family and his father.

Abraham wasn’t given the benefit of even knowing where he was headed. He had to trust God 100% as he packed his belongings and left.

This is one of the best examples in the entirety of God’s word when it comes to trusting God solely based on His word.

It’s critical that we understand the weight of what God told Abraham, particularly the words, “a land that I will show you”.

Can we truly understand the faith that it took for Abraham to obey God in this?

Let’s put ourselves in Abraham’s shoes and see if we can even begin to figure out how we might respond to this kind of command from God.

Do we think that we would just jump right up and head out immediately, with no thought to what it really means for our lives? Or would we hesitate, understanding the depth of it all, understanding that we don’t even know where it is that we’re headed to?

It’s pretty safe to say that most of us would fall into the latter category, flinching terribly at what we’re being told to do.

This is a great litmus test for our faith in God. It’s a good gauge that can show us the true level of trust we have in Him, the God who created us and everything we see around us.

Let’s sincerely endeavor to press firmly in to Him, learning more of Him, so our faith and trust reach new levels, allowing us to make decisions and choices of great depth without anguishing greatly over them in the process.

None of us will ever get this perfect. But the time we spend in His word, and time spent communing with Him will help us greatly mature in these areas.

In today’s video, “When, God, When?”, we teach about the importance of waiting on God, and how learning to wait on Him properly helps Him move on our behalf. 

We hope you enjoy it and that it brings some understanding to this aspect of walking with God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-22

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.

We are in unknown territory. We don’t know what to expect. Phew… it’s challenging. It is causing us to trust God in a whole new way.

As you may know, we recently moved. And it was a big move!

Most of our old routines are gone. We are starting from scratch, you could say.

Even where I would pray in the morning has changed.

Everything we were so used to is gone. Nothing is in its usual place, if you know what we mean.

It’s not anything that any one person can help with. It hits everyone differently. But one thing we have in common is that change is change!

If it is change that God has brought, we either go with it or we stop moving forward.

God will bring change to us in different ways at different times. Some changes aren’t that hard and we enjoy them. We welcome then with open arms.

Some are changes that will cause us to feel like we cannot do it. Those changes will make us or break us. We will either go the full distances or faint on the way.

But, on this journey I have learned not to faint or be ashamed if you feel you can’t do it on your own, because those are the moments we make a very difficult choice; a choice to let go of what we know and lean on Him.

He will give us things at times that are impossible for us in our human strength to do or to bear.

But He does not want us to do it on our own. In fact, we can’t do it on our own.

What are you doing today that requires you to have God’s strength, wisdom, and joy to fulfill His plan in your life?

Don’t get down on yourself because you don’t have what it takes. Reach out for His hand. He planned it, He has the answers.

Isaiah 40:28 (NKJV) 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-22

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!

During these last few weeks, those two words, “be still”, have been critical to my walk with God and my everyday life in the natural.

Seasons of change or times of trial can make us want to do things that we might not normally do.

When we’re facing the unknown and we don’t understand everything we’re seeing, we tend to want to take things into our own hands. We may begin making rash decisions. We might want to run away. Or we may feel like God has abandoned us.

It’s those times of change and difficulty, though, when we need to do the opposite. Instead of running away, hiding, trying to take control or feeling abandoned, we need to hold tightly to God, letting Him lead us through the changes we’re facing.

It’s not always easy to do. In fact, it can be downright difficult sometimes.

Our flesh fights us, almost as though it’s our enemy. And in some ways, it is. The flesh wars against our spirit as our spirit works to follow the Spirit of God. It’s a never-ending battle that can tire us out if we let it.

But instead of wrestling constantly, sometimes the best thing we can do is to stay still.

It’s in the stillness that we can hear God best. This is why it’s so important that we not get frantic, but quell our emotions as they try to lead us down roads of fear and doubt.

And as we learn to do this, to listen for the Spirit of God, and let Him lead, we will begin to walk in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, allowing us to move forward on the path He has set before us.

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-21

Isaiah 31:1 (NKJV) 1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the Lord!

People put their trust in many things.

And as we watch the world deteriorate before our very eyes, we see people moving further and further away from trusting God and putting their trust more heavily in man and governments.

While this is extremely frustrating to watch, it is to be expected to some degree because of the season in which we live.

God’s word has told us that this would happen. He spells it out plainly in many ways.

But know this; putting our trust in anyone other than God himself is a slippery slope that will ultimately lead to destruction.

The season in which we are living requires that we have discernment, and that we are diligent in our efforts to stay in tune with His spirit.

Doing so gives us an inside edge to see things that others may not see, and to make choices and decisions based not on intellect, but on God-given wisdom and understanding.

God comes first in all things. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.

There is none like Him on the earth below or in the heavens above.

Amen
