Bible Verse of The Day – 2-6-25

Psalm 121:1-3 (NKJV) I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.

When things get difficult, and we have no answers, we must understand that, really, it’s OK.

We can’t let fear grip us. We can’t let discouragement creep in, and we can’t forget Who we belong to!

God is for us.

In these moments, we need to reach for His word, and take time to pray. We should pull back from activities and spend time drawing near to Him.

He will guide our steps, give us wisdom, and fill us with His strength to get through it.

As we go through life, we will face some things that can take our breath away. But we need to remember Who gave us that breath in the first place.

Genesis 2:7 (NKJV) 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

And just as we trust Him, He will deliver us.

He will not delay.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-5-25

Job 1:21 (LSB) 21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked I shall return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh.”

Sometimes we need a gentle reminder to help us put things in life into proper perspective.

The world we live in has a way of getting into our heads, playing games with our minds and our thinking.

And if we are not careful, we will fall into the mindset that tells us we must forfeit our lives in search of stuff; wealth and material things that are more than we need. And we work our lives away in that pursuit.

But as we mature, and we gain wisdom and understanding, we begin to see things in a different light. We begin to recognize the spinning of our wheels in pursuit of tangible things for what it is; chasing after the wind.

Yes, God wants to bless us. He wants us to have the necessities of life.

But a life spent with the primary goal of amassing wealth simply for the sake of having wealth is not what we are instructed to do.

Solomon had more wealth and material possessions than anyone before or after him.

And what did he say in the latter years of his life? It is all vanity and chasing after the wind.

This should be an eye-opener for us. We are no different than Solomon.

We are born, we live, and we die. We come into the world naked and empty-handed. We leave the same way; naked and empty-handed.

This would appear to be our lot as human beings.

But our relationship with Christ sets us apart from the world.

We have hope, not in the things of this world, but in Christ and the redemption He offers us through His shed blood.

Let us determine in our hearts to pursue Him relentlessly, placing Him and our relationship with Him high above all else in this life.

And as we do this, the other pieces of our lives will fall into place by God’s grace and His faithfulness.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-25

Esther 7:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Then Queen Esther answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. 4 For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss.”

Up until the point in the verses above, despite being the queen, the wife of the King, Esther had not revealed her people or her family to the King. Out of obedience to Mordecai, the man who had raised her, she was not to say anything.

Esther 2:10 (NKJV) 10 Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it.

She would never have told the King if it wasn’t for the plot that came against Mordecai and all the Jews.

This plot was being carried out by a man named Haman. Haman wanted to destroy all Jews throughout the kingdom of King Ahaseurus.

Word of this plot got to Queen Esther. And at this point in time, she needed to let the King know who she really was and what was being planned in order to destroy her people.

For the longest time, she had to keep it silent. But now, at this moment, she needed to speak it.

By revealing that she was a Jew, everything was turned around. The evil that was being perpetrated against the Jewish people through Haman was immediately null and void!

As she obeyed and waited for the perfect timing to reveal her identity, God’s people were preserved, and rescued from ruin.

Esther, the beautiful, orphaned Jewess, was brought in at this specific time to save her people!

You just never know how important our obedience to God is at times. The effect it may have on many others.

What is God asking of us today? Do we need to be silent, or do we need to speak up?

Are we going to be like Esther? Can He use us for such a time as this?

Obedience is the key for God to be able to use us at any given time.

Doing it His way is everything we need if we are to be victorious in what He asks us to do!

Psalm 18:30 (NKJV) 30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-3-25

Psalm 52:1 (NKJV) 1 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.

The true goodness of God is unfathomable, and immeasurable!

Many times, we lose sight of His goodness. This is especially true if we have been through a season that has been tough.

Sadness and frustration can work against us and cause us to see only the bad things if we are not careful to allow the Holy Spirit to guide and temper our thoughts.

But God’s goodness does not waiver. And it should never be judged by the bad things we endure in life.

Jesus told us that trials and tribulations would come. But He also told us to be of good cheer, because He had overcome the world!

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.”

As we navigate the things that life throws at us, let us always keep God at the forefront of our hearts and minds, remembering that His goodness never falters or changes.

As we trust in Him and look to Him for our help and our solace, He is faithful to deliver.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-25

Genesis 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

Our work can surely keep us busy.

There is so much to do in a day. I find myself some nights thinking about some of the things that I so wanted to get done but I wasn’t able to complete.

The things we don’t get completed during the day can take away our rest at night if we let them.

It can be difficult to meet our own expectations at times. Why do we put so much on our plate? Why so much demand?

I’m entering this year with a plan; a plan to not be so hard on myself, and give me some time to take it easy, to rest.

I want to spend less time being too busy.

I want to be sure to make time to take a walk on the beach, time to sit and read more, and to be able to just stop at times to praise God and thank Him for the little and big things.

I want this year to be a year of getting even closer to God than ever before, and not worry so much about things that are out of my control.

The days go by so quickly. And starting now, I will be spending my time working on gaining more of God and less of worldly problems.

This will be my focus.

My Rest will be in Him, by keeping my mind from racing and focusing my quiet time and my thoughts on Him.

What is on your plate today that can be removed so you too can take rest?

Do we need to balance out those portions, helping us rest and stay steady in the natural and in the spiritual.

Let us look at our portions and adjust them accordingly.

Amen.
