Bible Verse of The Day – 5-31-17

Colossians 2:9-10 (NKJV) 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Without God, we are incomplete. Without God, we can do nothing. And without God we are feeble and weak.

Every day I am reminded of how incomplete I am as a human being.

My completeness is found in God alone.

He gives me strength in areas where I am weak. He corrects me in areas where I’m wrong, and He fills in the holes where I am lacking in character, compassion, grace, mercy and much more.

He completes me.

And He will complete you too, if you let Him.

We need Him each day, each hour and each minute, to help us become who He wants us to be.

It may not always be easy. But the end result is well worth the effort required. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-30-17

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

We are all broken in one way or another. None of us is perfect or complete, especially if we are trying to fix ourselves without God’s help.

There is a reason that God’s word says that Jesus makes us a new creation. Why is that? Because the old us is broken and in need of being made new.

We can never be fixed until we realize that we are broken. This was true before we found God and it is true even now, after we know Christ.

Even though God has made us a new creation in Christ, we can still be in need of His incredible skills to make new things out of broken vessels. Just because we have given our lives over to Him doesn’t mean that we are a finished product with no blemishes or problems.

On the contrary, when we came to Christ, we confessed our faith in Him. And in doing so, we admitted that we can’t handle everything on our own. So it’s important that we continue every day to place ourselves in His hands and let Him proceed to mold us and shape us into who He wants us to be.

Remember, it is not the well who need a physician, but the sick. And just as the sick need a physician, so do the broken need a Master Builder to make us new again.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-29-17

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

One morning, bright and early, I left my house to go and visit someone dear to me. As I approached their door, on the other side of the same duplex home, there stood a woman in tears. I asked her, “are you OK?. She continued to break down and explain to me why she was so upset. So I said to her, with all confidence in God, “it will all work out”.

At that very moment, I happened to look down at her feet and noticed a single penny laying there on the ground. I picked it up and handed it to her and said “I believe God is speaking to you”.

I asked her if she knew what was written on it. She just looked at me, with a puzzled expression on her face. So I said “it says “in God we trust” on that coin”. She smiled from ear to ear and stuck it in her pocket.

Sometimes we all just need a little reminder to get us through the day.

Bible Verse of The Day – Through God’s Eyes – 5-28-17

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

Almost all of us have heard the phrase “through God’s eyes”. We are told so many times that we need to learn to see things “through God’s eyes”. And that’s all well and good, but what does that mean?

We recorded a new video that brings clarity and understanding to this. We hope you will give it a watch.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Once we understand how to begin seeing things through God’s eyes it will make so many things so much clearer to us.

Please click here to watch the video now.

God will bring us a new level of understanding in many things that we look at now and don’t understand or comprehend.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Enjoy the rest of your day and be blessed in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-27-17

Romans 12:10 (NKJV) 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

This is a good verse to remember when we feel hurt, looked down on, or even rebuked at times by loving brothers and sisters in Christ.

Maybe we can recall times of being accused of something we hadn’t done. Or maybe we didn’t agree with them in some way, and all of a sudden they don’t know us. They don’t talk to us or want anything to do with us.

What are we to do when we feel rejected by others and we really have no idea what the reason is?

In our hearts we have to know that God sees it all. But, He doesn’t always want us to step out and speak or try to fix it. It does not mean that we have to remain in a situation of abuse either.

It means that when and if He wants us to respond in any way, we need to let Him lead us in love.

Brotherly love goes a long way, especially in moments when we have to pull on God for it because on the inside we are feeling empty.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-17

John 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.”

Have you ever heard the saying, “you made your bed, now you have to lay in it”? Not only do we think we have to lay in it, we may even try to drag others in to lay in that bed with us. You know, come keep us company. Supposedly misery loves company. Sometimes we even get comfortable in our misery.

Well, apparently Jesus doesn’t feel that way!

As a matter of fact, He would rather have us get up, get out of that bed and walk away.

So many times we think our mess is too much. There is no way we can turn it around. So we just lay there for days, months and even years. How much of our life do we waste, believing that it is what it is?

We need a little brotherly love reminder today.

We may be absolutely correct in the fact that the mess we made is too much for us to fix. But, we don’t do this alone. We do this with our Helper, the Holy Spirit.

John 14:16 (NKJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever…

He has been offered to each one of us NO matter how bad we messed things up. What are we going to do?

Just as the man needed to take a huge step of faith, pick up his bed and walk, we too need to do the same if we want to see change, if we truly want healing, deliverance and to be set free.

It’s up to us. Will we rise up and walk?

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-25-17

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Even in the midst of persecution, trials and tribulations there is peace if we know Jesus.

Many people go through life without knowing Him. They may have heard about Him, or read about Him. They may have even believed in Him. But it does no good to anyone unless we personally KNOW Him.

That’s right, a friend of Jesus Christ; our Savior and the Messiah of this world. The Son of the Almighty God.

Jesus came to show us all who He is, that we may love, honor and obey Him.

Loving Him will cause us to honor Him. Honoring Him will cause us to obey Him. When we love, honor and follow His commands, He looks at us as His friend.

John 15:14 (NKJV) 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

What a wonderful Friend to have by our side! Someone who will love us and hold us close. Someone who sticks close by and helps us through everything we go through in this life.

Do we know Him personally today? Has He walked us through some moments in life that only we can testify to? Have we seen His face shine down in the storm, His peace surround us when we didn’t know what way to turn?

Shout it from the rooftop, what our Jesus has done for us. Let those moments stay alive and breathe life into others as we share the goodness of our Lord and Savior, our friend for life!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-24-17

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

There are a lot of things happening in the world that we may not understand. Many times people will point a finger at God and ask why He doesn’t stop these things from happening.

Sometimes we question why God does the things He does or why He doesn’t intervene in certain situations.

Sometimes we ask questions simply out of curiosity. Other times we ask with an accusatory tone that says we know better than God does.

Whatever the situation and whatever our question might be, we need to always remember that God knows more than we do. He sees the big picture, while we see with finite eyes and limited understanding.

It’s not wrong to be curious or to wonder why certain things happen. Sometimes it can even be good to ask and wonder.

But if we find ourselves questioning God’s sovereignty or His reasoning, then it’s time for us to go back to His word and let Him remind us of who He is.

His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-23-17

Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Sometimes when we are asked to do something that maybe we didn’t plan on doing, or that we have never done before, it can cause us to get a little aggravated, frustrated and uncomfortable. Sometimes it can even mess up our whole day and throw us for a loop, so to speak.

Learning how to respond to these types of situations can help us a great deal.

We are not always prepared for that question. “Would you help me with this?” Or “can you do this for me today?”.

How about the desperate last-minute-Joe, “can you pick me up? I don’t have any way to get to such and such a place and I have to be there now”?

These types of questions are usually put out there along with a feeling of urgency or pressure. This makes us feel very uncomfortable and we don’t know how to say no because we feel bad or we are caught off guard. But instead, we say yes and then we start to gripe about it.

When things like this come our way, remember, it’s OK to be uncomfortable or put out of our way at times to help someone. But we also need to have boundaries. Especially if it continues to interfere with our responsibilities.

Stepping out of our little comfort zone is good for us all. Being thrown off our schedule at times, because we have to do something for someone else, is good for us all.

But having a nice balance will help us to act in a mature and reasonable manner. Whether they like it or not, keep it balanced.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-17

Deuteronomy 5:24 (NKJV) 24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives.

Look around today and see the glory of the Lord among us. We don’t have to look too far or too hard. It is right in front of us.

The human body is beautiful and wonderfully made, and the earth is full of His magnificent, creative beauty.

The sky above us is splendid and AWESOME to take in! The trees are full of life. Every branch and leaf is unique in its own way. The flowers and their beauty and scent are breathtaking. The sun shines down on them to help them grow, and the rain feeds the earth. We are so blessed!

The Lord our God is alive. He is moving every day! Draw close to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – When We Think You’re Done – 5-21-17

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve helped someone through a situation, and you feel like you’ve gone above and beyond the call? You think you’re done with it, but God is saying otherwise!

We just recorded a new video on this topic, called “When We Think We’re Done”.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Most times when we help others, we have one idea about it, but God has other ideas. So it’s up to us to choose whether we follow God’s leading or do what we think is right.

Please click here to watch the video now.

We think you’ll find what we share quite interesting, especially in light of the fact that it’s based on our own experiences with these very same situations.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Enjoy the rest of your day and be blessed in all you do.
