Bible Verse of The Day – 7-31-17

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Eight little words that can change our lives forever.

In order to do this, we have to surrender our ideas and agendas to God. With some things it will, without a doubt, be a struggle to let go. With others we will find it very easy.

It’s a sacrifice we all make willingly, giving up our plan to trust Him with His plan.

Our faith starts off the size of a mustard seed. Some people’s faith will stay that size. They are very comfortable with it being that size. Some people may lose even their mustard-seed-sized faith and walk away from God.

But, If we truly want it to grow, we must choose to take the personal steps God has for each one of us. As we do that, our faith in Him will grow. Our walk will get stronger and we will get more clarity of vision as we go. And we will begin to live a more abundant life!

The key to walking and living by faith is to take that mustard-seed-sized bit of faith that He has given to each one of us and let it work.

This means getting His direction and answers before we take our steps, not after. And then we walk it out, step by step, day by day.

As we do this, and we see Him move on our behalf, that little tiny mustard seed will begin to grow and get stronger. Before we know it, it’s no longer small as a mustard seed, but strong and mighty in Him.

Trust Him with our lives today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-1-17

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We don’t walk by sight.

I had this conversation the other day with someone that was feeling very discouraged. The situation they were facing had loss written all over it.

How do we stay encouraged as believers and keep going when our situation is discouraging, and when everything we hear and see about it is not good and we are feeling scared?

This is when we buckle down and let our faith in God rise above all our feelings and thoughts. We rise above all that we can see and hear and just stay silent, trusting that God has the answer. And know that whatever it may be is going to be good.

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “…assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Faith will help us through!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-17

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Have you ever closed your eyes and tried to walk around? It’s not easy.

First of all, the moment you close your eyes everything goes dark. Second, if you try to walk or move around, you end up bumping into things and stumbling around.

When we first start trying to walk by faith, it can feel like we’re trying to walk with our eyes closed. Everything is unfamiliar and it can seem like we’re about to stumble and fall down.

But this is normal. We learn to walk based on what we see. It’s human nature. So to start walking by faith, without being able to see everything that’s ahead with our natural eyes, it can be a bit scary and intimidating.

But just like anything that’s new to us, walking by faith will become more natural as we do it more.

We may start out by trusting God with little things. And then we move on to bigger things. And as we do this, we become more and more comfortable with walking based on what we can’t see and less dependent on what we can see.

It won’t happen overnight, so don’t expect it to. And don’t be disappointed if you have a hard time adjusting to it.

But here’s the key to successfully living your life walking by faith. Take your eyes off of walking by faith and put them squarely on God. Build your relationship with Him. Press into Him and learn of Him. And as you do this, you will learn to hear His voice more clearly.

And when we can hear His voice clearly, we will have no trouble walking by faith, even when we can see nothing in front of us with our natural eyes.

But our spiritual eyes will now be sharp and clear. And we will be able to see things that our natural eyes would never be able to see.

Set your eyes on Him and you will never be afraid to walk by faith ever again.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-9-16

John 9:6-7 (NKJV) 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

He spit into His hands and made mud. Not what most people would expect to happen if they ask to be healed.

God hasn’t changed. He still does these types of things today. Oh, He might not be standing in front of us, making mud from dirt and saliva. But when we ask Him to do something, He still wants us to follow through and do the things He asks us to do!

Asking God for something doesn’t mean that we ask Him and then simply sit back and do nothing, waiting for Him to take care of everything for us. He will almost always require us to take some kind of step or steps to show our faith.

Jesus sent the man in the verses above to go and wash in the pool. When he obeyed, his sight was restored. Naaman was told by Elisha to dip himself in the Jordan River 7 times. When he obeyed, he was healed of leprosy.

Sometimes the things that God tells us to do won’t make a bit of sense to our minds. That’s because He wants us to listen and act by the Spirit, not by our intellectual understanding.

And once we start to understand this, and we start to obey God when He speaks to us, we will start to see more things happen in our lives that defy logic.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-28-16

Habakkuk 2:4(NKJV) 4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

The proud are those who can never take no for an answer. The proud are those who think they can take care of themselves. The proud are those who see themselves sinking, but will not ask for help or take the steps toward making things right. The proud refuse help from God, because of their very own hearts.

They cannot blame it on anyone but themselves. Pride comes from within.

We don’t want to be the proud. We want to be the just.

The just will humble themselves and ask for help. The just will acknowledge that they have weaknesses and are willing to take one day at a time and work on them with the help that God provides.

The just are those who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of the Almighty God. And their salvation, strength, understanding, wisdom and provision come from Him alone. The just will learn to take no for an answer and wait on the promise of God to come forth.

Who are we today? Are we the proud or are we the JUST? If we are the just then we need to walk in faith and stop trying to do everything ourselves.

We need to obey what God is saying to our hearts, no matter what things look like in front of us, and move forward in what He is saying to do.

Noah had to have faith in what God said to him in order to build the ark. Moses had to have faith in God to lead the Israelites out of bondage and captivity. Mary had to have faith in God to give birth to our Messiah despite being a virgin. Peter had to have faith in order to walk on water. There are so many things that happened in God’s word when the JUST obeyed God’s word and lived by faith.

We don’t just visit faith. We, His children, LIVE by faith, move in faith and breathe in faith.

What is God speaking to us today? Our steps taken in faith and obedience will get us there.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-3-16

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Walking by faith can change a person. It can show us things inside of us that we probably had never seen before.

It can show us how maybe at times we thought we were walking by faith, but when what we were believing for doesn’t happen the way we thought it would, we realize that maybe we were actually walking in presumption.

This is a hard thing to swallow and can be very humbling. Because what it shows us is that we really weren’t hearing from God, but from our own desire or will.

We have all been here at one time or another and the best way to fix it is to humble ourselves before God and ask Him to show us His plan, without letting our own thoughts, desires and anxieties get in the way.

He will show us and help us fix whatever mess we get into as we humbly come to Him and admit we need His help.

Psalm 30:10 (NKJV) 10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper!”

Walking by faith takes time, experiencing and learning. We are not going to be perfect at it, but as we remain teachable, we will learn.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-16

Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

This verse has become the words that Pastor Ellie and I have learned to live by.

This walk of faith is challenging. Some days it seems like nothing can go wrong. Other days it seems like everything goes wrong. Not that everything actually does go wrong. But it can seem that way if we look at it incorrectly.

That’s not to say that God isn’t faithful or that His promises aren’t true. It’s more to say that sometimes our heads get in the way. And when our heads get in the way, our hearts can’t see what God is doing.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Learning to walk by faith and not by sight is a never-ending learning process. Some days we run like Gazelles! Other days we trip and fall. We scrape our knees and look to our Daddy to pick us up and brush the dirt off.

There are times when we see so clearly. And then there are days when there is a lot of fog to cut through.

But, here’s the truth in all of this.

God is on the throne. His promises are true! And when we face things in life that we don’t understand, it’s OK!

The important thing is that we look to Him for our answers. And when those answers come, we need to take Him at His word, even if it doesn’t make sense to our mind and our intellect.

We teach on this frequently. Why? Because it’s a profound truth that every single one of us needs to learn. We not only need to learn it, but we need to live by it!

So when things come along that you don’t understand, or if something doesn’t work out quite the way you had hoped it would, don’t fret. Don’t give up. And don’t turn away from God.

On the contrary. Run toward Him!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-14

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We live in a world that walks by sight. Everything that people do, they tend to do based on what they see.

As followers of Christ, we do things the opposite of this, by what we can only see with faith.

It’s pretty easy to get off track and do things and make choices based only on what we can see with our eyes, if we’re not careful.

Being able to walk by faith requires that we be “plugged in” to God and walking closely with Him, so we can make sound choices and decisions, regardless of how things look on the surface.

This can be a bit tricky when we’re first learning, especially if we are acting under pressure because of a tense situation or some kind of deadline.

But as we press in to God, we learn to hear His voice more clearly and walking by faith becomes more easy to do.

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Your works.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-20-14

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

This week has been a week of just letting go of things that I really wanted to have control over. It’s so hard sometimes to let go. But I’m learning that when I do, I finally find the peace I need to get through. 

If we walk by sight, then we will never have to have faith. But if we walk by faith then we will get to see wonderful miracles and God moving on a regular basis! 

God is never late, so keep walking and don’t give up…your answer will come!!
