Bible Verse of The Day – 9-20-14

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

This week has been a week of just letting go of things that I really wanted to have control over. It’s so hard sometimes to let go. But I’m learning that when I do, I finally find the peace I need to get through. 

If we walk by sight, then we will never have to have faith. But if we walk by faith then we will get to see wonderful miracles and God moving on a regular basis! 

God is never late, so keep walking and don’t give up…your answer will come!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-24-13

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We do not walk our walk by what we see. We walk our walk by faith in the unseen.

Every step that we take in our walk as a child of God, the Most High King, we take in faith.

When we lift our foot and move it forward, we step believing that when we put our foot down, the ground will be held up by God, our Father.

It is a hard thing sometimes… this faith walk. Our mind can play games with us, trying to trick us into believing only what we can see. But it’s faith that pleases God. So let’s keep pushing forward, even when we can’t see what’s next!

There are many of us today who are pushing so hard… we’re fighting to keep our faith intact. We’ve been hit very hard this year and sometimes it feels like we can’t even catch our next breath.

But God is bigger than our problems. We are bigger than our problems, even if we don’t feel like we are.

We have Christ in us. And in Christ, we are overcomers… more than conquerors. So we should never, ever give up and walk away.

Rise up today, in the name of Jesus, and shake off your fear, your slumber and your doubts. And do whatever it takes to take a step forward. And don’t ever, ever look back.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Hold your head high and be blessed in all you do.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-18-13

Hebrews 10:38 (NKJV) Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”

The just shall live by faith. We probably hear this all the time, but what does it mean?

This isn’t necessarily a call to “super Christendom”. It’s a call from our Creator to look to Him for everything we need in this life and the life beyond.

It’s a word from our Father, telling us to push forward, even when our mind can’t comprehend how.

It’s a loving Father taking us by the hand and picking us up when we fall down, brushing the dirt off of us and nudging us to get up and try again.

And it’s a look from a firm Daddy, letting us know that anything less than faith displeases Him.

God never expects perfection from us. He just wants us to trust Him with everything in us and let Him lead us, every single step of the way.

It’s not always easy to do, but reach out, take His hand and let Him show you the next step to take.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-25-13

(Hebrews 11:8 NKJV)  By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

This is the summation of our walk with God; By Faith.

As we are children and we grow up, we are taught that we need to meticulously plan our every move. We need to plan for our future. We need to map everything out.

And while there is some truth to this, it leaves God out of the picture; eliminates “the faith factor”.

We, as God’s people, need to learn to live and move by faith. We need to learn to trust God so much that we can learn to walk in the kind of faith that Abraham had.

God told Abraham to go, but didn’t tell him where to go. Abraham obeyed, leaving behind all that was familiar to him. Was he perfect in his obedience? No. But he did obey and he did leave his homeland and venture out into the unknown.

There is a balance that we all need to work toward attaining. We need to be responsible, but we also need to trust God and have a level of faith that will carry us through whatever comes our way.

Trust God. Put Him first and everything else will follow.
