Bible Verse of The Day – 6-4-12

(Mat 5:8 NKJV)  Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

How do we get pure in our hearts?  By receiving, believing and following Christ, and then repenting and turning from our ways of doing things and following His commandments.

Jesus’ blood cleanses us as we receive Him as our Lord and Savior. Do you know the song, “What can wash me white as SNOW, Nothing but the BLOOD of Jesus!!”?  That song says it all, it’s the blood of Jesus that has given us the freedom to go to God and have a relationship with Him. Thank God for Jesus and His blood that was so pure, so clean, and so perfect.

Reading God’s Word will allow us to get to know Him, the person that He is, the things He loves, the things He hates, and so forth.

As we allow God to cleanse us, and we work to keep the junk out on a daily basis, we will see more and more of God in our lives. (James 4:8) God wants to draw near to us…we just have to want to draw near to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-4-12

(2 Sam 22:31 NKJV)  As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Do we ever second guess God?

Sometimes it’s easy to look at what’s going on around us and start to doubt Him. Lots of times we start trying to take control of a situation when we see that it’s not going the way we think it should.

But God’s ways are perfect. He can’t fail us. We can miss Him, but He will never fail us. He can’t. It’s not possible.

Any time we’re in a mess, we can always count on it being our own fault or maybe someone else’s fault, but we can never point the finger at God.

We need to let God be our shield. Do we trust Him enough to do that?

The best thing we can do in our lives is wait on God, trust Him and let Him be God.

He does a lot better job with it than we can ever think of doing!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-12

(John 3:30 NKJV)  “He must increase, but I must decrease.

John the Baptist spoke these words, referring to Jesus.

John had spent his time preparing people for the arrival of the Messiah. Now that Jesus was on the scene, John knew that it was time for him to fade into the background and let Jesus be known to all.

This should be the same in our lives. As we draw closer to Jesus, we should decrease and He should increase.

As He molds us and shapes us, we should become more and more like Him. God’s word tells us that when we become born again, we are a new creation; the old has passed away.

If the old has truly passed away and we are a new creation, then this should show in our lives.

We should decrease, so He can increase. We’ll be better off for it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-1-12

(Heb 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.

Do you ever feel like you need to take a step, but you’re afraid because you don’t know what is going to happen when you do and you’ll never know what would have happened if you don’t?

So you just don’t move at all. In some cases it’s good to just wait. But, there are cases where you will have to take steps and move forward without knowing what lies ahead, especially if God is leading you to do so. He is not always going to spell it out for us… if He did where would faith come in?

Don’t be afraid to step out and go and do things you’ve never done before if God is leading you. Just make sure it’s God leading you and not your own will kicking in.

Some ways to tell if it’s God is that it does not bring confusion. No matter how hard it may be or scary it may seem, there will be a peace; a God-given peace.

Whatever God has you do will not hurt your marriage or your children. If you’re making a decision, both people in a marriage should be in agreement. God will not ask you to do something if it hurts your spouse or your family in any way. Family is important to Him.

Be careful, be sure it’s God and then trust Him to see you through!
