Bible Verse of The Day – 7-16-12

(2 Tim 2:13 NKJV)  If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

God is always faithful, regardless of where we stand in our relationship with Him.

It doesn’t matter if we have completely turned or backs and walked away from Him, He remains the same. He has to. He is God. He is the foundation upon which everything else in this world is built.

During the last several days God has been teaching me a few things about myself. Much of it has to do with some poor choices I have made over the years, especially with regard to finances. It’s not really a matter of a lot of bad choices, but one poor choice that I seem to make repeatedly.

I am determined to get it right. I have made a vow in my heart to let God teach me this time so I won’t make the same stupid mistake again. What I find is so awesome is that He will teach me, despite me missing the ball so many times already.

Ask God today where you have been faithless and where you have missed Him, and then ask Him to help you get it right this time. He is faithful!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-12-12

(Deu 6:12 NKJV)  “then beware, lest you forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Sometimes I wonder, if I could start all over again at the age of 48, if I would change things in my life.

Honestly, I think there are some things I would love to do differently, knowing what I know now, but there are some things I never want to forget or change and wish I could remember every little detail. It is hard to remember every little thing, for over time it fades with life and all its activities.

There are things I never want to do over again, especially those things that hurt deeply and were painful to face. But those were the things that brought me to my knees; those were the times that drew me closer to God, closer then ever before.

I  never want to forget how He lifted me up, how He held me in His arms, how He comforted me, and how He turned the situation around. I hold dear to me His touch, His voice, and His faithfulness!!

God has truly taken me from the land of Egypt at times and from the bondage I was once in and brought me into His precious freedom!

Never forget the FREEDOM we can only find in HIM!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-12-12

(2 Pet 3:8-9 NKJV)  But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

God’s timing is certainly not our timing!

God sees things in such a different light than we do, sometimes it seems like our breakthrough will just never come.

But God is not slack with His promises and He will do what He said He will do. We just need to hold fast and wait on Him, trusting that He will bring victory.

Keep in mind, though, that if there is going to be a victory, there has to be a battle. Without a battle, there is no need for a victory.

So if you’re in a battle right now, waiting for your victory, trust that God will bring it.

It might not be in the timing that we think it should be in, but He knows and understands what we need and when we need it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-9-12

(John 15:14 NKJV)  “You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

Jesus calls us His friends.

One day I was in my office praying and this song was playing, Friends are Friends Forever, by Michael W. Smith. All of a sudden I thought “where are my friends”?

I went down a list of people that I’ve had in my life at one time or another and most of them are gone, living their lives, and I hardly ever hear from them anymore. I started having a little pity party for myself, saying “Oh, I’m so lonely, God. I don’t have anyone…all my so-called friends are gone”.

It wasn’t long before God brought to my memory that I have Him, a friend forever, and that I have a wonderful husband who is my best friend as well. I have my daughters and son in laws, my grandchildren and so many more other people in my life that God has blessed me with!

I may be speaking to some lonely people out there today, but don’t ever think that you are alone. If you have Christ, you will never be alone as you follow Him…He will be a good friend to you!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-14-12

(2 Tim 2:13 NKJV)  If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

God is absolute. He is the only absolute in this shaky world that we live in.

We have all been and will continue to be unfaithful, in one way or another. But God will never be unfaithful.

Even when we have been faithless and have acted as though He isn’t there, He is steadfast and solid. He cannot deny Himself. It’s impossible.

Are you on shaky ground today? Does it seem like the world is crumbling around you? Have you done things or said things that you regret and wish you could take back? Does it maybe even feel like you’ve abandoned God and your faith in Him?

Rest in knowing that he has not turned His back on you, regardless of what you might have said or done. He is faithful. He’s right where we left Him, waiting for us to turn back to Him.

Don’t wait another minute. Turn back to Him right now and fall into His open arms of mercy, compassion and forgiveness.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-29-12

(Deu 10:17 NKJV)  “For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

As I was driving home from running some errands, I pondered on what today’s Bible Verse would be about. All I heard was “Great God”. So I looked that up and this is what God lead me to.

We serve the God of all creation; the creator of all we see.

He is the God of gods and Lord of lords. There is none like Him or above Him.

He holds the world in His hands. Nothing that happens surprises Him.

This is who we call Father, Healer, Provider, and Creator. He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knew us before we were born.

He has called us to Himself, to love Him and to be loved.

Stop what you’re doing right now and thank Him for who He is. Tell Him how much you love Him. It’s what we were created for.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-22-12

(Phil 4:11-12 NKJV) Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: {12} I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

Paul was content whether he was doing well or not so well. But nevertheless He knew that God would come through and deliver him at all times. He knew that His life was with God no matter what happened to Him and that was all He needed.

We are a child of the Almighty God! He is our Father. He cares about us, He loves us dearly and He wants the best for us!

Believe Him for that new job, new car, bigger pay increase, to be able to stay home with your children, to deliver your teen from bad influences, to give you a child you’ve been waiting for, to restore your broken marriage, to heal you and to bring on the breakthrough that you need.

Love Him today with all your heart and sing to Him. Talk to Him…tell Him how wonderful He is and thank Him for taking good care of you.

We can be content in HIM… He is all we need!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-19-12

(1 Cor 15:57 NKJV)  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Be encouraged today. Know that no matter what you’re going through, there will be victory!

We don’t always know how or when the victory will come, but it will come.

We don’t always know what that victory will look like, but God will give us victory.

If you’re going through a trial or a struggle today, we call forth the victory in the name of Jesus!

Lift up your head and look to the One who gives life. He is our sustainer, our provider and our redeemer. There is nothing too big for Him to handle.

No matter what’s standing in front of you right now and no matter how difficult your circumstances are right now, stand knowing that God has the final word.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-28-12

(1 Cor 1:9 NKJV)  God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

God is FAITHFUL!

Last week, I had a scare! My grandson, age 4 yrs. old, fell down a whole flight of wooden basement stairs, about 13 of them. He had his blanket over his head and was walking around and took a wrong turn. The extent of his injuries was just a few bumps and bruises on his legs, the areas where he was not covered by his blanket. Do you know not one bump on His head or face? Wherever that blanket covered him, he was untouched.

I believe that is the way it is with the blood of Jesus, God’s covering for us. Whatever part of us we give to Jesus, we are covered!  Whether we give him our finances, our emotions, our jobs, our kids and even our spouses, etc.

We give it to Jesus and ask for His help and protection and He will keep whatever part we give Him safe as we trust Him with it and follow His directions.  We’re not saying we won’t ever have to go through tough times, His word tells us that tribulations do come… (John 16:33 NKJV)  “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.”

Things do happen. What we’re saying is those things we lay down and trust Him with, He will take care of.

Plead the Blood of Jesus over all that He has blessed you with today and be free…no more bumps and bruises!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-18-12

(Psa 102:1-2 NKJV) Hear my prayer, O LORD, And let my cry come to You. {2} Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me; In the day that I call, answer me speedily.

Oh, how I long for God to answer me quickly at times. Sometimes I feel like He’s left me all alone to fend for myself. But, not too long after I get through my pity party and my waah, waaahs it seems I get my breakthrough and boy do I feel silly. How could I ever think that God, my Jehovah, Alpha & Omega, who loves me so and tells me to cast my cares on Him, would leave me stranded?

God hears our cry and He is faithful to answer us always, in the right time. We just have to believe Him and not doubt.

It’s OK to ask Him to move speedily. Sometimes we need Him to move fast; we realize the urgency in the matter and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Wait on Him if it takes a little longer then we expected it to. He knows how much time He has and He is faithful to deliver. Don’t jump ahead of Him, stay right there with Him and let Him lead!!

Breakthroughs are coming as we wait on Him!
