Bible Verse of The Day – 8-6-13

(Psalm 25:5 NKJV)  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

God does not want us to make mistakes, or doubt Him in any way. He is a God who wants to lead us and help us in every way possible. There have been many times when I thought I was waiting on God, but it turned out He was waiting on ME.

We are all being taught in different areas; some of us are being taught patience, some may be being taught discipline, and others could be learning how to hear or know when God is speaking, etc.

We are all at different levels and in different places in our walk with God. But as long as we remain teachable, we are on the right page.

God will teach us His way as we wait on Him. Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-13

(Proverbs 3:9-10 NKJV)  Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; {10} So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Giving God our first fruits is one way of showing Him honor. It also will cause us to prosper!

Many think that they have to be prospering first before they start giving the first fruits to God. This is the wrong way of thinking and it will keep us always working so hard and never getting ahead, because this in not what prospers us.

There is no trust or faith in thinking we have to wait until we become prosperous and get things in order before we can give God the first fruits.

Today, surrender our ways on how to prosper and let God’s Word teach us and show us His way! He is a faithful God and He means what He says. He will show you, as you take a step of faith, how important it is to honor Him first!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-13

Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Before I formed you in the womb. These words are much more powerful than we can even begin to realize.

God forms each and every one of us in our mother’s womb. We don’t just happen. We don’t just start from nothing and suddenly appear. God forms each and every one of us, individually, uniquely and with His signature all over us.

We are intricately designed. The science of the human body is truly awe-inspiring and should leave every single one of us speechless when we grasp the incredible wonder of how we are formed.

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

We have never included a picture in any of our past Bible Verse of The Day emails, but today we wanted to include this picture to help drive home the point of our message.

Today, as you see yourself in the mirror or as you observe those around you, think about how God has formed each and every one of us in such awesome and incredible detail.

Have an incredibly blessed weekend.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-13

(Exodus 20:17 NKJV)  “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

To covet means to wish for or to desire.

Have you ever felt like you wanted to be just like so and so… The way they look, or the way they carry themselves, maybe the way they seem to have everything all together, or even their success?

There’s not necessarily anything wrong with having a role model, or someone to look up to, as long as we don’t get carried away and began to covet what they have or what they’re like.

We can tell the difference in whether we are coveting or just simply admiring, by watching our attitude. If we are coveting something or someone we may feel miserable, disappointed, depressed or angry when we are around the person or thing that we covet.

If we admire something or someone, we will feel hope or excitement and get encouraged by what we see, and learn from them.

Coveting a person, who they are, or what they have can cause us to miss out on all the good things that we have going for us.

If we are coveting anyone or after anything today then we should simply ask God to forgive us and help us to have balance in this area of our life.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-1-13

Philippians 4:11 (NKJV) Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content…

To be content… this is something almost every one of us needs to learn, to one degree or another.

No matter what our situation is, we all seem to long for something else… something more, something bigger or something better.

It is not wrong to want to improve our situation, to make a little more money or to have some nice things.

It is wrong, though, to constantly be dissatisfied. We all need to learn to be content with what we have and where God has us.

Sometimes this might mean doing without some things that we’d like to have. Other times it might mean giving up some things that we already have!

Our own experience has taught us over the years that until we learn to be content with what God has already blessed us with (even when it seems like it’s only a little), He is very unlikely to bless us with anything more.

So let’s count our blessings and be content and learn to appreciate what we have, before we ask for something more.
