Bible Verse of The Day – 11-30-13

(Luke 6:45 NKJV)  “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

If we listen to ourselves (what we say) and watch what we do, we will learn a lot about ourselves. We can discern simply by the language that is used and the deeds that are done. It’s not hard; we just have to pay attention.

Whatever any of us does comes from the abundance of our hearts. If we really want to know about ourselves we just need to watch what we do and listen to what we say.

If there is a lot of negative stuff… mean, nasty, ungrateful things, etc., that we are saying or thinking, we do not want to ignore this behavior in us. Instead, we want to spend time praying and asking God to help us, so we can get to the root of it.

We’re going to find that, just because we ask God into our hearts and we are now born again or Christians, it doesn’t make us perfect. We can not ignore our behavior.

In fact, it should cause us to take a deeper look at ourselves; our actions, words and thoughts, and make us want to work on making the necessary changes on a daily basis, in order to live a life that’s pleasing to God.

Our goal as a Christian or a child of God is to grow and constantly be moving forward with Christ… so that our fruit will be good!  (Luke 6:43 NKJV)  “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

It’s all in our heart. What is our hearts saying today?

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-6-13

(Psalm 25:5 NKJV)  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

God does not want us to make mistakes, or doubt Him in any way. He is a God who wants to lead us and help us in every way possible. There have been many times when I thought I was waiting on God, but it turned out He was waiting on ME.

We are all being taught in different areas; some of us are being taught patience, some may be being taught discipline, and others could be learning how to hear or know when God is speaking, etc.

We are all at different levels and in different places in our walk with God. But as long as we remain teachable, we are on the right page.

God will teach us His way as we wait on Him. Amen!
