Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-25

Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

This short verse was part of a prayer as David repented before God for his affair with Bathsheba, and the murder of her husband afterward.

This was a low point in David’s life. He had done the unthinkable, taking another man’s wife and then having him killed in battle so that man would never know of David’s transgressions against him.

David was far from perfect. But he understood the importance of being accountable to God, and the importance of repenting for this terrible sin.

How many times do we fall to temptation, but fail to acknowledge it?

We often even deny it in our own minds, trying to justify our sin or explain it away.

We need to own up to our failures and bring them to God right away.

In David’s case, he hid his sin. He tried to run from it.

He only came clean when he was confronted by the prophet, Nathan. Nathan addressed this sin and made it known that David would pay for it by the loss of the son whom Bathsheba bore in their affair.

Let us not wait, as David did. If we sin, the worst thing we can do is to ignore it or try to run away from it.

We must bring our sins to God right away, confessing them and repenting before Him receiving His forgiveness and letting Him help us and teach us what we must do to overcome the things that keep ensnaring us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-25

James 3:15-16 (NKJV) 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

So-called wisdom that leads to bitter envy and self-seeking, or selfish ambition, are not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

Self-seeking and bitter envy are characteristics of the unspiritual man. They are the lust of the flesh. They lust, they have wrong desires, and they mess with unclean things which open them up to demonic influences.

Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Those who have Christ, the one who allows his/her heart to be changed by the Holy Spirit, will walk in good conduct and his/her works will be done in the meekness of wisdom.

This is the difference between walking in the flesh, living without Christ, or living with Him and walking in the Spirit.

When we become a child of God, His Spirit will rest upon us and give us the wisdom, the understanding, and the strength we need to avoid and defeat the fleshly desires that rise at times.

Isaiah 11:2 (NKJV) 2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

We walk in His wisdom, His understanding, His might and fear. These are the characteristics of a believer; a child of the Most High God. Thank you, Jesus.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-25

Acts 4:13 (NKJV) 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

There are many things we can glean from this verse when it comes to the effects of our relationship with God on our lives.

This relationship with our Creator and Redeemer is not benign. It is not without consequence or impact. Or at least it should not be as such.

Spending time with Jesus brings change.

Jesus impacted the lives of untold numbers of people during the brief time He walked the earth and ministered to those who came to hear Him speak and teach.

He changes the lives of those whom He touched, physically and spiritually.

Jesus spent three years with His disciples, teaching and shaping them for what was to come after His ascension.

And based on the verse above, He was wildly successful in doing so.

The disciples were uneducated, untrained, and unrefined in the eyes of the world.

But in the eyes of God, they were powerful; mighty men that He used to attack and break down the powers of darkness on a global scale.

How does our own relationship with Jesus affect us or impact others?

Do they see and hear the effects of this heavenly relationship in our lives?

This is not about intellect or knowledge in the earthly sense.

How has Jesus changed us spiritually, in ways that impact the kingdom of God?

How does our presence in places affect the atmosphere?

These are the questions we need to ask ourselves.

Do people around us know that we have been with Jesus?
