Bible Verse of The Day – 10-21-22

John 16:24 (NKJV) 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Don’t neglect to ask the Father for those things we need to live and to do His work.

He expects to help us with our needs. And He has made a way for us to come to Him and ask, so that we may receive through His precious Son, Jesus Christ.

He is there to help us in so many ways, and yet sometimes we find it hard to simply ask.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, we will know exactly what to ask for, whether it is big or small.

We need to pay close attention to what the Holy Spirit lays on our heart to pray for at times. And when we ask for such things, it’s a good idea to write them down.

Why? Because it is important that we remember to thank Him for our answered prayers. And writing them down will help us do that!

May your joy be full, for He is faithful!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-21

1 Kings 3:7 (NKJV) 7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

Here, Solomon is asking the Lord to help him in the position that He set him up in. This is a very important detail.

The Lord had placed Solomon where he was. And Solomon is speaking to the Lord saying, “you have made me king, but I don’t understand how or what to do. Please help me, guide me and give me Your understanding to handle this position. The people of Israel are too numerous for me to handle and I need Your understanding to know how”.

1 Kings 3:8-9 (NKJV) 8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. 9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

Don’t ever be afraid to ask God how.

He expects us to come to Him and ask whatever we may need from Him.

If we are shy or too prideful to ask, we will risk losing what He has placed in our hands.

You see, just because He places us in a position or on a new job doesn’t mean it’s ours forever. Maybe He has given us something to handle and take care of for a season or time.

God will guide us as to what to do, and how He wants it to be carried out.

God is moving His children into areas and places we’ve never been before, doing things we have never dealt with before; new ground and unfamiliar territory.

We are not alone. God Himself is with us all the more. Call on His name for help and clarity.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-21

Psalm 109:26 (NKJV) 26 Help me, O Lord my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy…

God can do anything. Do we all agree?

Time after time we see all that He can and will do throughout the Old and New Testament.

So, if we can agree that He can do anything, why do we struggle in letting Him help us pull it together?

Why do we wait and try to do our best to fix things, and yet leave Him out of the picture? Are we trying to prove something to Him?

Let us stop trying to prove we can do it without Him. We need Him to help us deal with what we are facing.

If you are with me today on this, agree that God is going to help bring a light to the end of your tunnel. This light is going to shine brightly and show us our next step.

We are done walking in the dark, not knowing what to do. It’s time to seek God and let Him help shine that light and bring the answer.

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-1-20

Psalm 119:18 (NKJV) 18 Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law.

Being blind is no way to walk this earth. We need to walk with our eyes wide open. We need to understand that obedience, or following God’s word, is the most crucial thing we can do and get good at!

It is the only way we will see wondrous things.

People may think they are living a good life, when in fact they have not even touched the surface yet because they have not let God open their eyes.

How does He open our eyes? When we realize that He really cares and loves us more than we could know, then our eyes are opened. That is the beginning of our eye-opening journey.

Why? Because then we will trust Him with everything more than we trust ourselves.

I know that some things that happen in our lives may cause us to question God. Maybe some reading this are in this state right now.

Maybe your child has changed in a big way and they are acting out. And we say, “why, God?”.

Maybe we have lost someone we loved deeply and we are saying, “why, God?”.

Maybe our finances dried up, despite having been tithers for years, and we are saying, “why, God?”.

This is normal, and it is OK to ask Him why. I believe He would have it that way. He does not have a problem with explaining why things are the way they are.

But, are we willing and ready to accept the answer without holding what took place against Him? Are we ready to get our eyes opened?

Some aren’t. Some would rather stay angry, mopey and discouraged. That’s our own choice.

But don’t pull anyone else down. Stay there if we feel we must, but let others move on, because some are ready to move on.

It’s been a long while and the time is now.

God does wondrous things when we allow Him to open our eyes and see things the right way.

He has a way of fixing us up even when we think we are a lost cause and can’t go on. God knows what it will take. Let Him open our eyes today.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-12-20

Psalm 119:28 (NKJV) 28 My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your word.

How many times a week does our soul feel like it is melting from heaviness?

We are just overwhelmed with so many changes, so much to do and such a little amount of time to get it done.

Or maybe we are dealing with family issues and it is getting to be so tiring and overwhelming.

Maybe we are just bored with the same ole things day after day and we are melting from the repetition of it all. There is nothing keeping us happy; no joy to be found. Everything just seems out of whack.

God, help us to keep living!!

That’s exactly what it will take; God to help us and strengthen us according to His word.

Don’t try to understand it all. Most of it is not for us to understand. We need to keep on doing what we need to do to get through.

The heaviness of everyday stuff is real, children of God. We all feel it.

It doesn’t matter whether the smile on our face hides it well. It doesn’t get rid of it.

What takes the heaviness away? God’s strength.

He gives us the strength to push it back and to keep us going with the right attitude.

The big question is whether or not we will let God strengthen us enough, through His word, to get us past it, so we don’t give in to it and melt away for good.

John 14:19 (NKJV) 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.

We live and we keep on living because God is alive in us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-31-20

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

This verse is incredibly encouraging and uplifting.

First, God tells us very plainly not to fear. Why? Because He is with us.

If we could have anyone with us as we face trials or things that are uncertain, there is nobody better than Him.

He never leaves us. He never forsakes us. He never turns us away. He never changes.

Then He tells us not to be dismayed. Dismayed isn’t a word that we use much these days.

What does it mean? Frightened, troubled, bothered, distressed, saddened, concerned, upset, shocked, disheartened.

That covers a whole slew of emotions that most of us might wrestle with during times of uncertainty or trouble.

So, why should we not be dismayed? Because He is our God! He said it Himself, right after telling us not to be dismayed.

Then, to wrap it all up, what does He tell us He will do?

He will strengthen us! And He will help us!

And, lastly, He will uphold (sustain, support, defend, stand by) us with His righteous right hand.

That righteous right hand is symbolic of His power, sovereignty and might.

And in Exodus 15:6, Moses sang that God’s right hand had dashed the enemy (Egypt) in pieces.

So, if you are facing a time of trial or uncertainty, we say, just as God Himself said, fear not! He will strengthen you and uphold you with His righteous right hand.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-15-19

Psalm 35:1 (NKJV) 1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

When we are being fought against aggressively it can wear us out. We can lose our joy. And when that happens, we can get hard on the inside and weak at trying to keep the right outlook on things.

This message today is for those who are in a battle, whether at work, in the home, at school, in their church, or in a spiritual battle of some kind.

It’s at times like this that we can lose sight and say the wrong thing or make the wrong moves. Because of our loss of strength, fatigue has set in and we just want it to be over.

But it’s at times like this that we need to pull back, hold our actions and our tongue from doing or saying the wrong thing, and let God go before us. He will fight for us and protect us in such a battle.

Find our rest in Him, even in a trying time such as this.

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

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-1-19

Isaiah 41:13 (NKJV) 13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Our heart has got to learn to lay things down.

I walked into a courtroom yesterday to support a man that was going to be sentenced.

Oh, the heaviness I felt and saw in the eyes of those that were there for their loved one, friend, parent, spouse, etc.

My heart ached. I know the hurt they felt.

Maybe they weren’t in the same boat as the prisoner, and weren’t the ones facing the charges. But they were feeling pain and sorrow, and carrying some heavy stuff too.

Please pray for the families of prison inmates. The families of the incarcerated person suffer for them as if they themselves are going through it.

Thank God for His hands, where we can lay our troubles and He will hold them and fix the broken pieces.

Victory can come to those even in a trial or season such as this.

Fear not. He will help you and those we love. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-19

Psalm 118:5-6 (NKJV) 5  I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. 6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

When fear hits home, when problems come, when we have no idea how to fix something or change it, call on the Lord. Call on the name of Jesus!

Don’t wait one more second. The Lord will answer, and He will set us in a safe place. A place where we can discern and hear what it is that we need to do.

Follow Him and obey the answer He gives to help us, even if we might not understand it all.

He is on our side.

Psalm 121:2 (NKJV) 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Do not be afraid.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-19

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

We very rarely put ourselves in a place where we have to be strong. If anything, we try to avoid such situations. But there may come a time when we will all find ourselves in such a place and we don’t know how to handle it. We think we are all alone and have no one to turn to. But that is not the case.

No matter what we have to face we can always turn to the Lord and face it with Him. He is there waiting to help us.

So, when it is time for us, we need to remember what the Lord says and hold it dear to our hearts. Be strong, not by our own strength, but be strong in Him who goes with us wherever we go.

He is here with us and for us, standing strong as always. Willing to uphold us with His hand.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Oh, Heavenly Father,

Thank you today for always being there for us. You’re always willing and ready to help Your son or daughter. You are so good to us, and we want You to know that we are grateful and blessed for the love that you have for us.

We love you. In the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-19

Psalm 50:15 (NKJV) 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

One of the biggest mistakes we can make as believers is to try to solve all of our problems on our own.

So many times, when we get into a situation that’s troublesome or problematic, we totally forget that we have a Father who wants us to go to Him for help. And we try to face it on our own.

It’s a natural reaction for most of us to jump right into action and start problem solving. But God wants us to go to Him first, before we jump into action. In fact, when we do jump into action, the first thing we should do as part of our problem-solving steps is to ask Him for His help!

It can take some time for us to break free of our old ways and start doing things the way God wants us to. Habits are hard to break.

But if we will let God help us break this one, it will help make our lives easier, more enjoyable and, most importantly, more God-pleasing.

So, let’s learn to put God first, even in our problems. Let Him lead the way through the darkness and out into the light, where we can give Him all of the honor and glory for delivering us. Amen
