Bible Verse of The Day – 10-31-22

Exodus 3:11 (NKJV) 11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

“Who am I?”.

Those three words were spoken by Moses, the greatest prophet of the Old Testament, as he was faced with carrying out the task that God had given him.

God had chosen him, but Moses wasn’t so sure about God’s choice.

We hear those same three words again, coming from the mouth of David, the man and the king whom God called a man after His own heart.

1 Chronicles 17:16 (NKJV) 16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

And then we hear them once more, coming from the mouth of Solomon, the greatest king who ever reigned over Israel.

2 Chronicles 2:6 (NKJV) 6 But who is able to build Him a temple, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a temple, except to burn sacrifice before Him?

These words are a stark contrast to the teachings of the world, where we are told that we must understand our self-worth, and that self-esteem is critical to proper childhood development.

As believers, it’s important that we understand that our worth is found only in God, the One who created and redeemed us.

It’s when we truly understand this that we will begin to give God the honor and glory that He deserves in every aspect of our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-29-22

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.

We praise You Lord, for You truly are our God! You are holy and full of righteousness, and we trust You for Who You are.

We come into Your presence today with a grateful heart for these awesome things our eyes have seen; all the beauty that You have placed before us.

When we look up, we see You! When we look around, we see You. When we look into the eyes of other believers, we see You.

You have made all things beautiful and You touch our hearts each day with simple, but yet profound love.

You continue to stand with us and help us no matter how many times we have failed or disappointed You.

We are sorry and we want to do better as You fill us with Your Holy Spirit and give us the wisdom, the discipline and strength to do what needs to be done.

We are weak without You Father, but with You we can do the impossible!!

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

We Love You today, Father, with all our being. You alone are our praise! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-28-22

Genesis 12:1 (NKJV) 1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

As I have recently been studying people of great faith in the Bible, I have noticed a common thread that runs among them; they never asked God why.

God would tell them what to do, and they would obey.

Abraham was the first person where I noticed this.

God had told him on more than one occasion to do something that was out of the ordinary; beyond human comprehension.

And these things that God told him to do made no sense to the human mind. Take a look!

  • Leave your homeland and go somewhere that I will show you.
  • You will become the father of a great nation even though you have no children, and you are very old.
  • Trust me to give you a son even though you’re old and your wife is beyond child-bearing age.
  • Take your son to the top of the mountain and offer him as a sacrifice.

And these are only a few examples from Abraham’s life. There are many others who had the same kinds of things happen to them.

One of the things that stood out to me is that Abraham never asked God why.

In human terms, he had the right to do so. Our flesh would think that this would not only be normal, but obligatory.

We need to remember, though, that faith operates outside of human terms and outside the boundaries of human intellect.

So, as we learn to trust God more, we also tend to question Him less. It just comes with the territory of walking in faith and knowing who our God is.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-22

Isaiah 45:22 (NKJV) 22 “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

When we are lonely, look to Him and He will fill that emptiness.

When famine has struck, look to Him and He will provide for our every need.

When crisis comes, look to Him. He will bring understanding and wisdom to our situation so that we make the right decision.

When things are great, look to Him and give Him thanks. For it is through Him we are walking in His blessings!

He will save us from all things that we face, for He is God. And there is no other.

Praise Him today, for we have Someone to look to and be saved!

Isaiah 44:6 (NKJV) 6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.

He is forever and ever by our side! Someone out there today shout AMEN!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-26-22

Hebrews 11:8 (NKJV) 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Faith is the catalyst for all that we do as followers of Christ.

We obey God and do things He has asked us to do, many times without knowing how to do it, or even why He wants us to do it.

Some might call this blind faith. But it’s really not blind at all. It’s a deep trust that we develop as we follow Him and grow closer to Him, learning more about who He is and what He wants for our lives.

This kind of faith is what lights a fire in us to want to obey Him and walk out things that bring fear to the natural mind.

That same faith is what quells those fears and gives us the courage and strength to go places that we’ve never seen, both in the natural and in the spiritual realm, and do things we’ve never done.

Faith such as this is what allowed Abraham to leave his home and venture to a land he had never seen before.

This kind of faith doesn’t just happen. It comes over time as we grow and mature in God. It comes one little step at a time as we learn to trust Him.

Make no mistake. This kind of faith isn’t built on a desire to do great personal feats, prophesy boldly or work incredible miracles.

It is built on a strong desire to love God, obey His word and follow the path He has set before us. It is not selfish or self-centered. It wants only to please Him who created us and put the breath of life in us.

And this faith isn’t a pursuit of faith itself. Faith without a sincere, burning love for God isn’t faith at all, but just a selfish pursuit to be somebody that God hasn’t called us to be.

Trust God. Love Him more than anything else. Put Him first in everything. And our faith in Him will grow like a mighty flame.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-25-22

Philippians 2:4 (NKJV) 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

We need to look out for ourselves for sure. But it doesn’t stop there. The church needs to consider the wellbeing of others too.

We, as believers in Christ individually, make up the church. So, on a personal level we need to make this adjustment in our daily lives and routines.

If we know a brother and sister in Christ who is in need, we must reach out and help them as much as we can.

The Holy Spirit will guide us as to how we can assist them. He will give us wisdom in letting us know what will work best for both of us.

We cannot continue to live selfishly, or with a conceited attitude, as a believer in Christ. This is not the right behavior to have. Instead, we need to consider others more important than ourselves.

It is something that will come as we draw near to God and grow as a believer. We will learn to live unselfishly.

Our hearts will be more willing to give than to receive. It will become more natural to see a need and want to help.

Acts 20:35 (NKJV) 35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-22

Hebrews 6:15 (NLT) 15 Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.

Oh, what we can learn from Abraham!

Many times over the years I have heard people refer to “the patience of Job”.

But I have never heard anyone mention the patience of Abraham!

In reality, it was Job’s faith that brought him through his ordeal; his battle with the enemy and the bodily attacks he endured.

Abraham, on the other hand, had patience.

When God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation, Abraham was 75 years old (Genesis 12:1-4).

By the time Isaac, the child that God had promised him, was born, Abraham was 100 years old. Now that’s patience!

Don’t get it wrong; Abraham was far from perfect. And his wife, Sarah, was just as bad, as she encouraged Abraham to have a child with her maidservant after waiting 10 years or so.

In the end, though, God was faithful as He always is, and Sarah conceived a son in her old age. And Abraham held on for that promise, knowing that God would somehow make His promises come to pass.

Let’s try to put ourselves in Abraham’s shoes for a minute or two.

How would we have handled his situation? Would we have endured long enough to allow God to carry out His plan?

Many of us don’t want to wait 25 minutes, never mind 25 years. But as we mature in Christ, we usually learn that God’s word is true, and His promises are worth holding onto because He is faithful.

And with our maturity, we begin to understand that God’s timing is almost never the same as ours. That’s the biggest thing we can learn when it comes to trusting God and waiting on Him.

Trust God. Wait on Him. It’s not necessarily easy. But it’s God’s plan and His way that we need to follow, not ours!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-22-22

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

A nice little reminder for us today to not be preoccupied with material things and worldly desires. Instead, put more of our time and effort toward seeking the kingdom of God and His righteous.

Let us make sure we guard our time with Him with our life.

Yes, at times it can be a struggle with everything pulling on us the way that it does. It seems harder nowadays to stay focused. There are a lot of distractions.

Sometimes when I’m running out to do errands, I look around and see others moving so quickly and just barely looking up.

Their heads are down and they are on the move. We can all get in this mode. And yes, there are times we just need to get things done.

But remember the important thing in this life and keep it in its place; making time for Him.

How can we stay focused, on track and make this a priority?

We simplify our lives.

We need to acknowledge the things that are taking up all of our time and energy.

Then, we need to figure out what we can do to change it, so we can give more of our time and attention to seeking His kingdom.

As we do this, God will meet us in that quiet place; that place of no interruptions. That place where nothing matters more than Him.

His sweet presence will be there.

We don’t always realize how rewarding it can be. But once we find the time to do this, we will learn it is a necessity to keep it a priority. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-21-22

John 16:24 (NKJV) 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Don’t neglect to ask the Father for those things we need to live and to do His work.

He expects to help us with our needs. And He has made a way for us to come to Him and ask, so that we may receive through His precious Son, Jesus Christ.

He is there to help us in so many ways, and yet sometimes we find it hard to simply ask.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, we will know exactly what to ask for, whether it is big or small.

We need to pay close attention to what the Holy Spirit lays on our heart to pray for at times. And when we ask for such things, it’s a good idea to write them down.

Why? Because it is important that we remember to thank Him for our answered prayers. And writing them down will help us do that!

May your joy be full, for He is faithful!
