Bible Verse of The Day – 3-5-13

(Matthew 5:19 NKJV)  “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

It’s important that we understand that teaching can be done in different ways.

Teaching can be done by words but it can also be done by our actions. Our actions will usually be more powerful than our words. So if we are a quiet person, don’t worry. We are still teaching… people are still learning.

We could be teaching our close friends, our family, people we work with or even someone we don’t know.

As God’s people, we need Him more than ever to guide our steps so that we may be good examples, whether through our words or our actions, and teaching what is true.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-13

(Mark 6:4 NKJV)  But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.”

Despite being the son of God, Immanuel (God with us), Jesus wasn’t accepted or honored in his own land.

How many of us can relate to this? How many of us have been rejected or ridiculed by our own families because we are believers?

Well, we say to you today “don’t take it to heart!” Don’t let what your family members think of you discourage you or turn you away from God.

Some of us get ridiculed because we are believers. Even worse, others have had family members turn their backs on them. You’re not alone. Sadly, this happens more often than most of us realize.

So what are we to do? We are to love them. We are to pray for them.

But we are not to chase them or preach at them. If they choose to turn their backs on us, we need to let them know that we love them and then go on with our lives, praying for God to soften their hearts and draw them to Him.

And we need to forgive them. It’s ok to be angry that this has happened, but we cannot hold bitterness toward them. We need to release them to God and let Him work it out.

If you are going through this, give it to God. Let Him take care of the problem. It’s not ours to carry or to fix.

He’s much better at fixing things than we can ever be!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-2-13

(Mark 5:36 NKJV)  As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

Fear; it is the opposite of faith.

Are we afraid? Do we let fear control us? Do we spend more time being afraid of what might happen than we do enjoying the blessings we already have?

Don’t let fear grip you. Don’t spend your hours, days and weeks wondering “what if”.

If you are struggling with fear, don’t wait another minute. Rebuke the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus. Tell it to leave. Tell it that you are a child of The Most High God and you will no longer live in fear.

You have wasted enough time being afraid of what “might happen” or what “could happen”. Today, take a stand and rise up in the name of Jesus, and move forward boldly, trampling on that spirit of fear that has controlled you for so long.

You are a child of The King.

Be blessed in all you do today!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-13

(Hebrews 6:12 NKJV)  that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

I find it interesting that it is through faith and patience we inherit the promises.

These two things, faith and patience, are probably what we all have a hard time with. Faith gets stronger and stronger in us as we trust God, but we will never see the answer if we don’t have patience enough to wait on Him. These two things work together to receive the promises.

We cannot just sit back and do nothing if we want answers and victory in our lives, or the lives of others around us. It’s going to take us working at having faith for things we never thought we could have, and patience for God’s timing to receiving them.
