Bible Verse of The Day – 11-23-18

John 6:35 (NKJV) 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Life in Christ is good. He is our everything!

He will satisfy our hunger. He will bring us answers. There is so much peace and joy in His Word. His promises are true. He brings a fulfillment that nothing else in this world can compare to.

Will our life be perfect and will everything go right all the time? No, not necessarily in the way we think it should go.

Life is not a fairy tale. We can’t always paint a pretty picture when things are not pretty. But if we live life through Christ, we will be satisfied at any stage we are in. He will have the answer and the way for us to follow.

His answer, His understanding, His compassion, mercy, forgiveness and most importantly His LOVE, will meet us right where we are at, even in our darkest hour.

Hallelujah… He is our bread of life.

If we go to Him, He will take care of us, help us make the changes we need to make, and we will stand strong! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-17-18

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

God wants to bless us. And it’s safe to say that we all want to be blessed.

So, why is it that so many of us lack? Why is it that we can never seem to “get ahead”? And why do our lives so often feel empty and meaningless?

Most times it’s because we have our priorities a bit mixed up.

Most of us want to have a strong relationship with God. We want to please Him and do what’s right in His eyes. But we never seem to quite get it right.

So, what’s the solution to this never-ending dilemma? How do we get our lives turned around and stop feeling like we’re being dragged through the dirt all the time, never able to break free and get cleaned up?

When we peel away all of the layers of mystery that man has created that seem to put God back behind the veil that was torn when Jesus died, it comes down to one simple thing; seeking first the kingdom of God.

We absolutely need to be putting God first in everything about our lives. There is no other way to say it and no other way to accomplish it. God comes first. Everything and everyone else comes after Him.

This is not some magic formula to riches beyond our wildest dreams. It’s not a specific sequence of steps that we follow, from A to Z, that will “open the heavens” and cause blessings to suddenly pour out.

But it’s a Biblical truth that, when we finally get it, and we put it into practice, will turn our lives around, little by little.

And, as we continue to put Him first in everything we will see more and more how God is shaping us, molding us and moving us through, and past, all the obstacles before us.

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-7-17

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

So, what exactly happens when we seek first the kingdom of God? We get fed, we get clothed, we get taken care of. Wow, how rewarding!

Matthew 6:31-32 (NKJV) 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

God will take care of these things. Is that the reason why we should seek God and His righteousness? No! We shouldn’t have a motive other than wanting to do the right thing and be closer to Him. But it sure is nice to know that by doing so all these things will be added to us.

It is a gift. It is a privilege. It is an honor and a blessing, all wrapped together in seeking God.

Now, don’t make the mistake of thinking that following God means that He just makes everything we need fall into our laps from unknown sources. Yes, sometimes that can happen. But, most times He will require steps and action on our part. In turn, He provides for us in ways that are just as rewarding, and sometimes even miraculous.

Jesus gave His precious life so that we can have access to our Father. Let’s go after Him with everything in us. Seek first the kingdom!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-18-17

Matthew 6:26 (NKJV) 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

I love watching wildlife. We have lots of birds and other small animals living in the woods behind our house.

We get to see dozens of different species of birds as they fly about as they find food and tend to their bird stuff.

We also get to watch squirrels and chipmunks as they gather food and store it away. And we even get to watch them play and chase each other around in the woods 🙂

And in all of this, we get to see how God provides for creatures as small and seemingly insignificant as little birds and chipmunks.

And so does God also care for us. He supplies our needs according to His riches in glory.

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

We toil and fret over so many things, most of which never even happen. And we lust for things that we can’t have, simply because we see someone else with them.

But in the end, God supplies our needs and He does so in ways that we would never have imagined or come up with ourselves. And all of our worrying and fretting was for naught.

So we want to encourage you today to trust God. Go to Him with your needs. And heed His instructions as He directs you to take certain steps. If we’re careful to listen, He will show us what to do and when to do it.

And as we follow His leading, we will see the wonders of His ways unfold right before our eyes!

It’s not always easy. And it seldom happens in the time frame we want to see it in. But He never, ever fails us.

Psalm 37:25 (NKJV) 25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-14-17

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

God supplies all our needs! Amen. By who? Christ Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.

He is there for us in so many ways and on so many occasions. It doesn’t matter if it is small or something big, He will supply our need.

The questions is, are we ready for His supply, for His provision? This is a very important question and not to be taken lightly.

When the Lord supplies a need He will do it in a way that will be good for us.

He’s not going to be like the person that just gives to us because we are kicking, screaming, giving the silent treatment or guilt treatment, etc. It’s not going to happen this way.

God is very concerned about the things that are going to be GOOD for us, long lasting and effective, in a way that will draw us closer to Him and teach us to continue to trust Him even more.

Sometimes His way or His answer for us will be exactly what we were thinking. Other times it may not be that way. We may have to take a step into the “unknown”. And that will cause us to be even more trusting, even more disciplined and even more stretched with our faith.

Don’t get discouraged if we are in a place of the unknown. Don’t get scared and want to turn back to the familiar. And absolutely don’t try to talk it or think it through.

Simply walk. And Jesus will lead us step by step, one day at time, through it all. And He will supply all our needs.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-2-16

John 6:31 (NKJV) 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

God gave them bread from heaven. He made provision for them! He is a very personal, affectionate and intimate Father.

Can we look back at times and say, “yes, He has answered my prayer. When I was in need, He sent me my answer.”?

Our bread from heaven may have differed from what the Israelites needed because every situation is different. However, it still came.

Getting our answer from God is better than getting our answer from man. Most people have an agenda or motive and we may always feel like we owe them something in return. But when God does something for us and our answer comes from heaven, He is not looking for us to pay Him back. He is just asking for us to obey.

We have seen God answer many prayers in our lifetime and we look forward to seeing even more. It never gets old.

He is not going to ignore us, so we can’t get anxious and try to do it ourselves. He is going to put together the best answer and provision for us. In the meantime, rejoice and KNOW that He is working on our behalf. Walk in His peace today.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-8-16

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Did we ever notice how hard it is for us to just let God supply all our needs? It is a hard thing to sit back and let God provide for us. It’s hard for our minds and hearts to accept, at times, that God really wants to help us.

Why is it so hard? Why do we fight God on this? Why can’t we just let Him help?

For some reason, man thinks He has to do it himself. And it is only when we get to a point where we have no way out and we have exhausted all our “KNOWHOW”, that we finally say, “OK God. I need Your help”.

There are some people that never even get to that point, because they simply refuse to admit that they need help. They would rather be mad at the world and miserable to everyone around them, than to give in and let GOD fix it.

Notice that in the beginning of Genesis, God shows us how man struggled with His provision. Take a look at Adam and Eve. They were well provided for. God had it all set for them. All they had to do was obey Him, listen and live. Everything was provided at their fingertips! But there was a weakness, and in their weakness they were tempted, and they fell.

Right from the beginning of time, we have struggled with obeying and accepting God’s provision. We wanted more. We wanted to do it on our own, with nobody telling us anything.

The question is, will we admit it? Will we learn it’s not just Adam and Eve, but all of us who struggle with this in our own personal daily lives?

If we want all that God has for us, we need to face the truth, that at times God is not holding us back or keeping things from us. But we hold back God by not obeying Him and receiving His provision in His way and His timing. How? By trying to do it all on our own.

Let God supply all our needs as we surrender unto Him today.
