Bible Verse of The Day – 8-6-14

Luke 12:24-25 (NKJV) 24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? 25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

Are you worried about anything?

Are you facing a big decision or some kind of major change in your life, and you’re feeling uncertain about how it might turn out?

I think we can safely say that most of us are in this boat, to one degree or another. And some of us may be at a very major crossroads in our lives, not knowing which way to turn. And the thought of making the wrong choice gives us a sinking feeling.

Well, at the risk of sounding cliché, stop worrying about it.

We know that might not be very comforting, but trust us when we tell you that worrying about it will only make things worse for you.

Now, this doesn’t mean that we should be nonchalant about everything, not caring whether we do the right thing or not. But this is where our faith comes in and we learn to pull on God and lean on Him, listening ever so intently for the voice of the Holy Spirit… that “still small voice”.

As we wrestle with these kinds of decisions, it is God’s leading that will give us peace in the midst of our storm and show us which way to go when it seems oh so dark ahead of us.

We can say this with absolute confidence, because God has led us through some very trying times these past two years, and on to victory. It wasn’t always easy to hear Him, but we did our best to be diligent and heed His voice.

And in the end, we truly saw that worrying never helped us one little bit.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-14

(John 5:19 NKJV)  Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

Notice how Jesus only did what He saw the Father do?

The things that God wants done, He will show us. This means we don’t just do whatever we want, whenever we want just because maybe we’ve seen others do it. If we’re not careful we can develop a “one way of doing it” attitude and fall into the trap of doing things a certain way just because it’s what we’ve seen before.

We need to learn to wait on God for His guidance and direction in matters. He may direct us about a specific timing. Or He may give us instructions about a certain tone to use, or it may be a boldness, or maybe a softness. It could take time praying it through, etc.

We just don’t know what a situation may involve. But, as we pray and walk closely with God, He will lead as to how handle the things He wants us to deal with. We should never just guess at it. We follow God, and He will lead us. If He’s not showing us anything, we shouldn’t just make it up as we go.

Jesus saw what the Father did, and He did things in like manner. We all need to follow His example if we want to see miracles, have breakthroughs and walk in VICTORY!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-29-12

(Proverbs 29:11 NKJV)  A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.

As the world and society have become wise in their own eyes, we hear more and more about how they believe it is healthy for us to constantly express ourselves and “vent” our feelings to everyone.

We are constantly told that it’s healthy to tell people what we feel. And there are instances where this is very true.

But wisdom will teach us that there is a time to speak our mind and a time to hold our tongue. The tough part for us is in knowing when to speak and when not to.

God wants to give us the wisdom needed to know the difference. This will be easier for some people and more difficult for others. I know that for me, I have a tendency to voice my opinions very easily, but God has taught me over the years this isn’t always a good thing!

So when you feel your emotions rising up inside of you and you want to start venting to everyone you see, stop and listen. Let God speak to you and give you wisdom. Let Him tell you whether to speak or to be silent.

God is faithful to teach us. We just need to let Him.
