Bible Verse of The Day – 4-16-12

(Mat 16:15-16 NKJV)  He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” {16} Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

I wonder if Peter really, truly understood what he was saying when he answered Jesus. I honestly believe that he didn’t fully comprehend what he was saying, simply because it wasn’t his intellect that revealed this to him, but God alone.

Had he truly understood it, would he still have denied Jesus at the time of his capture and the beatings leading up to the crucifixion?

What about us? Do we truly, truly understand who Jesus is?

I often think that we don’t fully, 100% comprehend who Jesus is. If we did, would we do some of the things that we do, or say some of the things that we say? Would we stop and think twice before making a bad choice or a wrong decision that leads us into sin, if we really, truly understood who He is?

Ask God to reveal Jesus to you in a new way and at a new depth and watch how He changes you from the inside, out.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-14-12

(Psa 51:10 NKJV) Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Our prayer today is that this verse speaks to us in such a way that in everything we do, we do it for God. Whether it’s at work or at home, wherever we go, may this verse be so fresh on our minds that we would think twice before we say or do things that would be against what God has taught us.

If we want to grow and have a deeper relationship with Christ, a beautiful marriage a good relationship with our children etc., the first step in making anything better is to get our own hearts right with God.

This means that we need to take a good look at ourselves and the things that we’re doing and let God help us to make the necessary changes that need to be made in us.
