Bible Verse of The Day – 10-12-17

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Love on God today and lift up His Holy Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior of this world. He has made a way for each one us to live life more abundantly, as we believe and follow in His footsteps, and live each day with a desire to please Him.

We won’t be perfect in doing this, and God knows that. So, don’t give up if we mess up. Get back on track and start again.

He won’t give up on us, so don’t give up on Him. We need to go after Him with everything in us. Set time aside just for Him and He will bless us.

Matthew 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

Hunger and thirst for Him. Follow in the footsteps He places before us. Our lives will be abundantly blessed, and we will be filled.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-12-17

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 

We have an enemy. He has one purpose; to steal, kill and destroy. 

And who does he want to steal from, kill and destroy? Us. You and me. 

This is evident each and every day that we live and breathe. We see death and destruction all around us. Sometimes it affects us directly, up close and personal. Other times we just see it from a distance, as it wreaks havoc with those around us or people we don’t know. 

And, yes, it can be scary and intimidating sometimes. 

But, God has given us hope and a reason to rejoice! 

And that reason has a name; Jesus Christ. 

Jesus came so that we may have abundant life in Him! He has defeated the enemy once and for all. 

Revelation 1:18 (NKJV) 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. 

No matter what things look like on the surface, we need to always remember that God is still in control. He is still on the throne. 

And even in the midst of our trials and hard times, our joy and happiness can still prevail. Why? Because we have a Savior who is alive, even after being crucified and laid in the grave. 

More than that, we can have abundant life in Him! Our lives don’t have to be mundane and worrisome. We don’t have to rise up each morning dreading the day ahead of us. 

Rise up each morning knowing that we have victory in Jesus. And when the enemy whispers in your ear, telling you that you are defeated and hopeless, don’t buy the lie. 

Stand up tall and rebuke his filthy lies, in the name of Jesus. Victory and abundance in Jesus are yours! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-2-17

John 3:35-36 (NKJV) 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

What stands between life or death for us? Only our own hearts.

Our hearts make the choice. We can either receive or not receive the truth; the very thing that will set us free. Each one of us has the most wonderful opportunity. And that is to have everlasting life through God’s Son, Jesus Christ.

This is the most precious gift anyone could ever have given us. Beautiful everlasting life forever. And not just with anyone, but with the One who loves us so much! The very One who gave Himself for us.

Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV) 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

When I think of this and I apply it personally, I literally get sick to my stomach at times when I think that a human being would go through what He went through because of His love for His Father and for us. This is mind blowing love.

This is what gives us the ability to become God’s son or daughter, by taking God at His Word, having faith and believing in His Son Jesus Christ. If we have answered yes to this, Praise be to God!!

The next thing we need to know is that God has a purpose for each one of His children. Are we letting Him change us and show us His plan for us?

Are we learning how to walk with Him daily and let Him guide our steps, so that we may accomplish whatever it is we are supposed to be doing while we are here?

Once we have given Him our hearts, and we let Him change us, the next thing we must give Him is our time. This may be hard at first, due to our pre-existing commitments.

However, do whatever it takes to give Him first place. It may take a little bit of time to move things around, but we can at least start working toward that goal.

Once we have given Him our heart and our time, our life will be more meaningful and peaceful.

God loves you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-27-16

1 John 4:9 (NKJV) 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

There is life, beautiful life, for those that live and walk with Christ!

Every day is worth jumping up out of bed to learn of what door or doors He will open or close today. What will our eyes see through Him today? What will our heart feel through Him today?

God sent His ONLY Son for you and for me, to give us LIFE and life more abundantly!! Are we living abundant life through Him?

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

The devil would love to steal the life Jesus has for us, by convincing us we can do it all on our own.

If we are doing everything on our own, and only call on Jesus when we are in a trial, that is not living through Him. That is us, living out our life from the little bit of knowledge and understanding we have learned throughout our years. By doing this, we will get OUR own results and miss out on life through Christ.

Living through Christ means He is the leader, the door opener, the door closer, the advice giver, the one we are accountable to in all that we do, every day.

The LOVE of God has been manifested through His Son. Enjoy His presence in our daily walk, resting in Him. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-17-14

John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

We have an enemy. He is the enemy of our souls. His one goal is to destroy us… to tear us to shreds if he can.

But, Jesus came to defeat that enemy once, for us all! And defeat him He did!

We want everyone to know today that we are not defeated. We are not here to live a downtrodden life full of disappointments, anger, bitterness and sorrow.

Yes, we all have things that come our way that will try to bring us down. It’s part of life. God never promised us a life with no trials or problems.

What He did promise us, though, is an assurance that no matter what comes our way, He is by our side. He has provided for us in everything, even before those hard times come.

There’s nothing better than victory God’s way! We always like to think we have everything figured out and we know how everything should go, but the truth is that we really know very little.

When God moves on our behalf, it will almost always be in a way that we would never have dreamed of ourselves. And there’s a reason for that. He wants us to know that He is God and He is in charge and in control.

Ponder on that over the weekend and smile, knowing that no matter what comes your way, God is in control and has provided abundant life for us. Reach out and grab hold of it today.
