Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-13

(Deuteronomy 4:29 NKJV)  “But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Seek the Lord today for yourself. Find Him. Don’t give up until He touches your heart and blesses you with His Peace, His Love and His Joy.

God can handle whatever we bring to Him. He can take our problems and our troubles and make them a vapor, as we seek Him for the answers. WE don’t have all the answers in this life, but HE does.

Some of us may feel ashamed to come to Him for different reasons. Maybe we feel like we blew it; we had our chance and we didn’t take it. Maybe we feel it’s too late. Don’t let anything or any thoughts get in the way of seeking God.

God is a loving, caring, wonderful, compassionate and forgiving God! We can come to Him no matter what we have done.

Remember the story about the prodigal son? (Luke 15:21-24 NKJV)  “And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ {22} “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. {23} ‘And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; {24} ‘for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

This son messed up big time, but the key here is that he acknowledged his sin… his shortcomings, and humbled his heart and came home. He came back to his father. This is an example of what God wants us to do; repent and come home, back to Him!!

Is this you? Are you that prodigal child today? Have you done wrong and you want to make things right?

Well, open your heart to God. He is waiting for you to come home and make things right. Seek God with all your heart and He will help you through! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-13

(Psalm 51:2-3 NKJV)  Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. {3} For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me.

David had a way of laying himself out before God and asking for forgiveness for the mistakes and bad choices he made.

Although I don’t wish to follow in David’s footsteps when it comes to the sins he committed, I do want to follow in his footsteps when it comes to the sincerity of his heart when he was faced with his own sin.

David made some terrible choices in his life, causing some truly devastating consequences for himself and his family. But when God brought him face to face with his sin, David was always repentant and did his best to make things right.

And for this, God called David a man after His own heart.

In my life, I have two desires. One is for God to see me as a man after His own heart. The other is for God to look at me when I stand before Him, and say “well done my good and faithful servant”.

How do you handle your sin? What are your desires?

Lay your heart out before God and let Him show you.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 11-15-11

(Psa 103:12 NKJV)  As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Have you ever done anything you regretted? Have you committed sins in the past that you look back on now and they make you cringe? I think we can all answer that with a definite “yes”.

Not a single one of us has lived perfectly. We have all sinned and disappointed God and ourselves, as well as those around us.

Maybe you did this before you knew God, or maybe afterward. Or maybe you don’t know God yet, but you’re seeking Him.

Here’s the good news. God has said that He will forgive us and our sins will be removed as far away from us as the east is from the west. That’s pretty far!

Now, maybe you’re having trouble understanding what that means, so just know that when you ask God to forgive you for something, and you’re sincere about it, He will remove that sin from our life and it will be gone… period. There is not a trace of it left, as far as He is concerned.

So if you’ve ever wondered about those things you’ve done in your past, stop wondering. Ask for forgiveness, ask God to help you not to do it again and then keep moving forward and looking ahead.
