Bible Verse of The Day – 8-30-17

Psalm 89:8 (NKJV) 8 O Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

God is faithful to help us ordinary people do great things on this earth, and still remain humble.

Here are just a few examples…

If Joseph didn’t do his part, if Mary didn’t do her part, if John the Baptist didn’t do his part, where would we be today? These were just ordinary people following God’s plan with their hearts.

You see, Joseph’s part was to believe what God was doing in Mary. This child of the Holy Spirit, this child who would come and save us from our sins, was in his soon-to-be wife’s belly. He had to believe and accept that it was as he had been told. It took an angel to convince him, but he accepted it.

After the child was born, he had to follow God’s steps in keeping Him safe and protected. Right from the beginning, his son was sought after. Herod wanted Him dead. In order to keep Him alive, Joseph had to listen to God and obey Him, taking the necessary steps to keep his Son alive.

Mary’s part was to accept God’s word for her, that she would be pregnant by the seed of the Holy Spirit and carry God’s Son, Jesus Christ.

She had to believe that she would be impregnated without ever being intimately involved with a man. That takes faith!

John the Baptist was to be a witness for Jesus, telling people about Him before anyone knew who He was. He was a ground breaker, so to speak. He was a preparer; someone who puts his reputation on the line. And he couldn’t care less what people thought about him.

The birth and preparation of our Messiah took place through God speaking to ordinary people like you and I. All they did was believe and obey.

We ask the question; do we know what God is speaking to our hearts today? Believe Him, listen for the steps, and obey. He is faithful to see it through! Amen.
