Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-12

(Mat 14:29-31 NKJV)  So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. {30} But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” {31} And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Peter was doing pretty good until he looked around, giving attention to his circumstance rather than what He was asked to do. He wasn’t afraid until he looked around.

Jesus said “Come”. If Peter stayed focused on what Jesus told Him to do he would have made it to Him. Instead, Peter look around and it caused fear, and fear caused him to doubt.

I think sometimes we forget who our Papa is and the fact that if He tells us to do something, He will prepare us and give us what we need to do it. Our focus needs to be on Him and the things He asks of us to do.

Let’s get out of the boat and walk on water today!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-12

(Mat 15:18-19 NKJV)  “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. {19} “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

In its original context, this verse goes on to explain that eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man or make him unclean.

Jesus used this example to teach us that what’s in our hearts is what defiles us, not whether we have washed our hands or not.

He also used it to teach us that what’s inside of us will eventually make its way out of our mouths.

Have you ever caught yourself saying something that was contrary to what you know God would want you to say? Maybe you used some language that you know in your heart was not pleasing to God. Or maybe you lashed out at someone in anger, and then regretted it later on.

We all make these mistakes at times. The important thing is that we learn from them.

First, we need to learn self control. But more importantly, we need to understand that this is showing us who we really are inside; what’s hiding there in the darkest recesses of our heart.

This isn’t something that we should beat ourselves up about, but something that we need to go to God with and ask Him to take those things out of our heart and replace them with His love, grace, mercy and compassion.

God is the best surgeon there is when it comes to fixing hearts!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-12

(Heb 4:16 NKJV)  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Have you ever made a mistake? Of course, we all have.

Have you ever been told that you have made mistakes that are too big to be forgiven for? I think most of us can also say that this is true… that we have all been told this or we have felt like this at some point in time.

Well, let me tell you today that this is a lie straight from hell. There is nothing that we can do that God can’t forgive us for if we sincerely repent and ask Him to forgive us.

His word tells us that we can come boldly to the throne of Grace, where we can obtain mercy and grace to help us in times of need.

How much more can we ask for?

If you’re struggling with feeling like God has forsaken you or that you’ve let Him down, go to Him. Repent for anything you might have done and ask Him to forgive you. And then trust that you are forgiven, because His word says so.

Walk in His peace and joy today, knowing that you are abundantly blessed.
