Bible Verse of The Day – 5-20-17

John 3:17(NKJV) 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

There is freedom in God. He has made it so!

We shouldn’t feel condemned when we think of Him. We should not ever be afraid to go to Him.

He loves us and He would do anything to get us into a place of peace, joy and rest. He brings stability in our lives. He brings strength, focus and determination.

If we are feeling fear or condemnation today, we can be set free from them this very moment if we don’t run from Him, but instead we run to Him.

Let us pray.

Dear God,

Our beautiful heavenly Father, we come to You today in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We ask for Your peace, joy and rest today. Give us Your wisdom and strength to make the right moves in our lives.

Please help us to stand with the right people, in the right places and listen to You carefully, when it is time to let go and move on.

Thank You, Father, for caring about our every move.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-17

Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV) 5 “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.”

Do we let people influence who we are and how we act?

God created us to be special… unique. He created each one of us with a purpose and a plan.

No, we were not all created to be a prophet to the nations, as Jeremiah was. But He has, nonetheless, put something special in each and every one of us.

And if we’re not careful, we can abort our own destiny because of things people have said or done to us.

This can come from a variety of people in our lives, both in the world and in the body of Christ. And these influences can be both positive and negative, regardless of their source.

One of the biggest dangers is when influences appear to be positive, yet are actually harmful to us.

That may sound contradictory, but here’s what we mean. Negative influences are usually obvious and easy to discern. However, a misguided “positive” influence can sometimes send us down the wrong path, seeking and searching for something that we should never be seeking.

This happens when a well-meaning person, sometimes even a fellow believer, tells us something that they think we want to hear or that they believe to be correct or accurate. Their intentions are usually good, but their lack of discernment or understanding is dangerous to us.

So our guard needs to be up and our own discernment needs to be sharp regardless of who we’re dealing with. We need to protect our calling and our destiny by making sure we’re staying on the path that God has for us, not chasing some wild fantasy that was planted in our heads by an outside influence.

And if we’re not sure where we’re supposed to be or what we’re supposed to be doing, we need to be seeking God and His answers. Not man’s answers.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-17

Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV) 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Sometimes people do things that just make us shake our heads. Some of these things are subtle, while others are blatantly illegal or, at the very least, very questionable.

On a smaller scale, the day to day choices we make can have lasting results and consequences. Sometimes we know up front that something is wrong, and we do it anyway. Other times we just make a bad choice.

Either way, the choices we make will follow us around and it can take a long time for them to get resolved or fade away into our past.

God has made a way for us to avoid making poor choices and reaping from those choices.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

You see, if we truly want to do right, to please God, we will think before we do anything. And we will let God speak to us and show us the right choice. And then we will listen and heed His promptings.

It may not always be easy. And sometimes we may wrestle with it. But as we learn to lean on Him, trust the Holy Spirit, and then follow His leading, it will get easier and easier.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but when we let God lead us, we will learn right from wrong. And we will choose right.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-17-17

Psalm 139:7-10 (NKJV) 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.

There is nowhere we can go where God isn’t present.

Nowhere should this be more comforting to us than when we’re in the midst of a storm or a trial.

Sometimes when we’re facing a season that has us longing for some kind of change… a breakthrough or a victory, we can tend to forget Who our security lies in.

We go to people; family or friends. We pour our heart out to them and hope for some kind of consolation or comfort from them. We may even hope that they will help us in some way, either with suggestions or even with the answer to our problems.

But we too often forget that God is our source. He alone can rescue us from the crashing waves and stormy seas.

There is nowhere we can go and be away from His spirit and His strong hands, which hold us. He is always there, even when we might not think He is.

So rest in knowing this. Speak to your storm and tell the wind and waves to be still, in the name of Jesus.

His right hand shall hold you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-16-17

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

What are we facing right now?

What is it that is trying to get us to waver in our faith?

What is trying to get us to doubt God?

It doesn’t really matter who or what we’re up against right now. They do not hold our future in their hands.

There is only One who does that. And He does not change, lie or go back on a promise.

Rise up in the name of Jesus! Stand strong in His name and by His spirit, and hold fast to His word. For He is faithful and will bring you through whatever you’re facing right now.

Victory is ours, in Jesus’ name.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-15-17

Romans 8:25 (NKJV) 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

What does it mean to wait eagerly for those things we hope for but do not see? We need to be ready, excited, and sharp.

Being eager and persevering is like someone being up at dawn and ready to get to work.

We don’t lay there and do nothing until what we’re waiting and hoping for comes. We continue to do what we know to do everyday, unless God shows us something different.

We do what we already know, with everything in us, and we don’t stop. We keep going and we push through each day until what we hoped for, that we could not see, becomes tangible.

Step by step, one day at a time, walking out what we know to do in faith is how we persevere.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-12-17

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

There is so much here for all of us to learn from.

The spirit of God is Who we need to look to and depend on in order to live our lives in a way that’s pleasing to God.

It is completely impossible for us to do this on our own, by our own strength, no matter how good a person we might think we are. Our intellect can never tame our flesh, which will always lead us astray.

There are so many attributes above that are produced by the Holy Spirit in us. It’s incredible when we look at them all and realize that God can grow us, despite our own weaknesses and frailties, and our complete lack of ability to conquer our flesh. And when He does so, He cleans us up and causes us to mature to a point where we actually desire to have all of those traits.

And what’s even better is that they will actually manifest in our lives as we build our relationship with Him.

Now that’s a miracle right there!

There is a longing in us to walk daily in the fruits of the Spirit. Not by our strength, but by His strength in us.

Will you join us on this great adventure of learning and growing?

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-11-17

Romans 8:28 (NKJV) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

It’s funny how sometimes you see a verse and it just speaks loud and clear to whatever we may be facing.

That is God. He is alive! He knows what we need when we need it whether we are in moments of despair or moments of celebration. His word is amazing and works in perfect timing!

What a wonderful, compassionate, loving and kind-hearted God we serve. Amen.

Do you know today that you mean everything to Him, and as you love Him back He will work everything out for GOOD?

Have a lovely day and keep seeking Him!!

Matthew 6:33(NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-10-17

Deuteronomy 10:21 (NKJV) 21 He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

Going through times and seasons that are out of our control should be a normal thing for those that are leaning on God. But no matter how much we want to make it a normal part of our lives, our flesh loves to have that control over things. We are in a constant battle with wanting to have control.

We think having control over things will bring peace. But, peace will actually come when we let God have control.

God is teaching those who will give all control over to Him how to walk in such a peace.

This doesn’t happen overnight. It takes some time to learn. But each time we give a situation, circumstance, or a problem over to Him, and just let Him unfold it, we will get better and quicker at going to Him with everything.

His faithfulness is greater than anything else. We just need to allow ourselves to see it by letting Him help.

Psalm 46:1 (NKJV) 46 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
