Bible verse of The Day – 6-24-14

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

God is able.

He is able to do more than we can ever think or imagine. He is able to take our mess and turn it into something beautiful.

He is able to take our broken selves and make us brand new and usable for His glory.

He is able to pick us up out of the dirt and the mud, clean us off and set our feet back on the path He made for us.

Some of us already know this, and for those who need a bit of encouragement today, know that no matter how bad we feel or how terribly we mess things up, God can fix it.

But here’s the part that most of us miss more than 95% of the time. When God does help us out of our mess He doesn’t do it the way we think He should.

When God fixes our financial problems, it isn’t the way we had it figured out. When God heals a broken relationship, it isn’t the way we thought it would be. When God mends our broken heart, He does it differently than we imagined it would be. When God delivers us from a bad situation, He does it in a way that we would never have figured out in our minds.

You see, God does it His way, because His way is much better than ours!

Even though we think we have it all figured out, our finite minds can never see things the way God sees them. His way is so much better than ours!

Give Him glory today for working in our lives. He deserves it all.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-12-14

(Psalm 9:10 NKJV)  And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Putting our trust in God and seeking Him is how we move ahead in our lives each day.

Trust Him in the good times and bad. Seek Him in the good times and bad.

We are  human and at times we get fearful. Fear cancels out trust and trust cancels out fear.

Some of us may be dealing with illness, some may be dealing with losing our job, some with marital issues, some with abuse, some with drug addictions. Some may be dealing with school issues, etc.

These are all things that can cause us to be fearful for we know what the consequences can be if these situations don’t change.

We don’t want to ignore the fear that we feel, but we can take what is causing us to be fearful and bring it to God. Tell Him about it, seek Him and let Him walk us through it.

We may think that because it is our fault that we are in the situation we are in that God won’t help us. But that’s not true. God knows we are far from perfect, and we’re going to make mess ups.

But nevertheless, He understands and He truly wants to help. He will not forsake those who seek Him, whether it was our fault or not.

Do we know His name today? Yes… Jesus Christ! Do we put our trust in Him and do we seek Him? Yes…every step of the way!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-13

(1 Chronicles 16:11 NKJV)  Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

Are we needing an answer to our problems today? Are we needing someone to comfort us? Are we feeling alone and need a good friend, someone we can talk to and share everything with? Do we need someone we can trust?

Seek the Lord today and He will be there. He will have an answer for us. His arms are always wide open, He will hold us tight and comfort us!

(Psalm 46:1 NKJV)  God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-1-12

(1 Peter 5:7 NKJV)  casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Casting all our care upon Him…what an awesome God to tell us to cast them all.

He doesn’t just want the huge cares, or the average ones, not even just the small ones. He wants us to cast them all, right down to the little bitty cares… the things we don’t think God cares to hear about. Those are the things He wants us to cast on Him, along with the others.

He wants all of our concerns, so we don’t have to worry. He wants to help us fix things so we don’t have to be burdened with them any longer.

I find it so exciting and humbling when God takes care of the simplest things for me. I guess because He is so magnificent, I expect Him to pay attention to the big things that I need, but for some reason I think that He doesn’t care about those little things.

But, He does… He really cares. He cares about all the things that concern us.

Why? Because He loves us and wants to help us through them. He wants us to rejoice with Him as He helps us get to the end of our problems.

Today, let’s do as He asks and cast all our cares. Trust that He will pick them up and work it out.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-23-12

(Psa 116:1-2 NKJV)  I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. {2} Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

God is here. He is with us day and night. Look to Him for the answers to your problems.

If you’re in trouble today and you need an answer, go to God. If you need a breakthrough,  go to God. He may direct you to someone else or direct someone else to you to help you, but go to Him first and let Him be the one to lead. Let Him be the one to open the door.

Sometimes we have good intentions when it comes to fixing our own problems. We think that if we got ourselves into the mess, then we need to clean it up.

Well, there may be things we’ll need to do to help clean up, but when God directs us they may be things we would never have thought of doing.

Trust Him and give Him the first call.
