Bible Verse of The Day – 5-9-22

Psalm 86:10 (NKJV) 10 For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God.

The more I live here on this earth, the more I understand the reality of this one thing; He alone is God. And He alone is worthy of our trust, our faith, our honor and our worship.

Trusting in anything here on earth is like riding on a rollercoaster. One minute you’re up, and the next minute you’re down. Or, you’re being thrashed around from the wild ride you’re being taken on.

With God, there is no worry of Him changing. There is no worry of Him abandoning us.

And it’s in that fact that I find my solace, my peace and my stability.

We urge you to do the same.

Let go of the world. And hold only loosely to the things of this life.

Place your trust firmly in Him, and hold fast to Him every minute of every day.

You will not be disappointed.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-7-22

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Earlier this morning I was having a great conversation with someone about the state of the current world.

We discussed the fact that we are headed into end times types of events, and that evil has markedly increased in recent years.

As part of that conversation, we got on the topic of fear.

Fear has been used to do some terrible things to mass numbers of people over the centuries. And the last couple of years is no exception.

Fear has driven many people to make decisions that they would not normally make.

It has caused people to separate themselves from society. It has caused people to isolate themselves from friends and family.

And it has caused some to submit themselves to things that they would never have submitted to under normal circumstances.

We want to remind everyone today that fear is not of God.

Fear is a tool used by the enemy and his cohorts to back people into a corner, making them feel like they have no choice but to obey those who are wielding that fear as a mighty weapon.

Never make choices based on fear. It will almost always come back to haunt us. We will regret those choices terribly most times.

So, if you’re faced with making a choice of some kind, and fear is what’s driving you to make that choice, step back and take a look at what’s happening.

Look for God in it. Does it feel like what you’re doing is led by God? Are your choices giving you a feeling of peace?

Or does it feel chaotic and crazy, like you’d never do this if you weren’t scared?

Remember that God is not the author of confusion. And let that guide your decisions and choices.

1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV) 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace…

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-6-22

Psalm 14:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

Years ago, there was a song that was made popular on mainstream secular radio stations called, “From a Distance”.

The song talked about God looking down and watching us, from a distance.

I haven’t listened to secular radio for more than 25 years. But I had heard of this song when it was popular, and I despised it.

Why? Because it painted a picture of God as some aloof, uncaring figurehead who never interacted with humans, but simply watched from a distance in some strange, warm and fuzzy kind of way.

The truth is, though, that God loves and thrives on His relationship with us.

The verse above tells us that God does, in fact, look down upon us. But not in a disconnected sort of way.

He looks down upon “the children of men” (human beings). And this is where it gets interesting.

Why does He look down upon you and I? To see if there are any who understand, and who seek Him.

This is what God desires; that we seek Him, and that we get understanding about His ways.

And that is the core of our spiritual growth.

If we seek Him, and we get understanding, we will have no choice but to grow and mature.

As we grow and mature, what used to seem illogical and impossible to our human minds now becomes part of our everyday thinking and understanding.

And this blows the warm and fuzzy version of God right out of the water. Wouldn’t you agree?

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-22

Luke 12:34 (NKJV) 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Keeping our heart focused on the right things, heading in the right direction, will help us to have good treasure.

We want our treasure to be in God, through God and for God!

Don’t let the world take our focus. Don’t let it desensitize us to its conditions. And don’t let it tell us what we should have and not have.

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

God is the One who knows what we need, when we need it and how to get it.

So, our focus and our hearts must long to seek after Him, and nothing and no one else.

There are a few things that would like to steal our good treasure; lust, greed, and power. These are the 3 big ones to watch out for.

Don’t let them win. Fight to keep our treasures in Him, for Him and through Him. And our hearts will remain with Him.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-22

Micah 2:1 (NKJV) 1 Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand.

We have all witnessed a large amount of corruption and tyranny in recent years.

It’s everywhere. And it’s all around us at increasing levels as each day goes by.

Some days it seems like there is no hope. No chance of seeing justice. And we may even question whether God is seeing what we’re seeing or not because the evildoers seem to go unpunished while the righteous suffer.

More and more often, though, I am seeing that God is watching and He is seeing what’s happening. And He will execute justice in His timing.

And if you’re in the same boat, wondering why evil seems to go unpunished, this may help you.

Micah 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Therefore thus says the Lord: “Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time.

Many of us may not live to see God’s justice exercised. His timing is not our timing.

But rest assured that God will prevail. And evildoers will answer for their actions.

The thing we need to do in the meantime is to focus our time and efforts on drawing near to God, not on waiting impatiently to see those who carry our evil be punished for their actions.

God’s word is final. And I rest in that.

Make sure you rest in that, too. It will bring peace and rest to your soul.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-22

Matthew 27:35-37 (NIV) 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

As I write this, it is Good Friday, and I am so very humbled as I take this day and time to reflect on what the Lord has done for us.

Every day in the lives of believers should be a “Good Friday”! Amen.

What a loving and giving Savior, Jesus Christ, to do what He has done for us.

He was verbally accused with words that were untrue. He was physically abused, whipped and tortured.

Then, He was nailed to the cross. He hung there until His death.

And on that 3rd day, He came alive. How glorious!

Luke 24:6-7 (NKJV) 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’

Would anyone besides Jesus sacrifice themselves for us and go through what He did?

Never. No one could do what He did for us. We needed the perfect and righteous blood of Jesus to cleanse us from our sins and make us whole again.

He has saved us from hell, but only if we choose to believe in Him. He has given us such a precious gift; eternal life!

He deserves our whole hearts and our full attention each and every day.

He should be the first One we talk to in the morning, and carry it on throughout the day.

And then before we close our eyes at night, the last one to say, “thank you and goodnight” to. Our protector, provider and our Savior!

Praise You, Lord, for great and mighty are You forever and ever. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-22

Proverbs 10:22 (NKJV) 22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

Everyone loves blessings. They bring joy to us when we receive them.

Or it may seem that way at first.

Some blessings turn out not to be what we thought they were initially. Many things have attachments that we were unaware of until it’s too late.

And then that blessing becomes more like a curse.

That’s not so with the blessings of God, though!

The blessings that come from our Father in heaven make us rich.

Now, that doesn’t always refer to monetary wealth. Sometimes the blessings of God are way better than money or tangible things.

God’s blessings can often be things that we may have never thought of. But because He knows us better than we know ourselves, He knows exactly what we need. So, He bestows upon us something that He knows we need, and that He knows will be good for us.

As mentioned in the verse above, He adds no sorrow with it.

This means that it will never cause us any kind of frustration, stress or aggravation. It will bring only good.

It may require responsibility on our part to handle it properly, but the blessing itself will not be problematic.

I don’t know about you, but I prefer the blessings of God over the blessings of the world.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-22 – The Promise and The Plan

Please click to watch the video nowGreetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

How many of us like to have to wait? 

Not many! 

In today’s video, The Promise and The Plan, we teach on the importance of why Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem. 

We also talk about how this applies to our own lives. 

Waiting is probably one of the things that we have the most trouble with, so we hope you’ll take a few minutes and give this a watch. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

We love you all! 

Enjoy your day.
