Bible Verse of The Day – 10-22-20

Psalm 94:19 (NKJV) 19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.

Our grandson is a thinker. He is only 13, but yet he thinks about things that most adults don’t even think about.

Because of this thinking, sometimes he doesn’t sleep well. This is especially true if there is change.

I said to him one day, “God does not like for us to worry. Because when we worry, it makes a statement and shows our fear”.

As I continued, I said, “it’s OK to be afraid and notice that we are afraid. But when we feel the fear of the unknown, or even the known, we don’t freeze, but we take the next step”.

This “next step” we take is huge!

We say, “Dear God, I’m scared. Help me know that everything will be alright as long as You are near. Take this fear and give me Your peace. Help me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

If anxiety hits us, it is not to stay long. When we notice it, we need to get rid of it quickly. It will eat us up and leave us exhausted if it lingers.

God will bring us comfort and peace in the midst of change, in the midst of a storm or in a trial.

In the midst of decision making, He will comfort our soul.

Don’t stress. God is faithful to take care of us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-7-18

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

There are a lot of intimidating people and situations in this world that we may have to deal with from time to time, and it’s not always easy. Sometimes we will find ourselves panicking because we are not sure what steps to take in handling it properly.

When we panic it causes us to become stressed and anxious. It can exhaust us to the point where we are tired and we may even get depressed. We are worn out and can’t do a thing. We feel we have lost control.

The enemy loves when we reach this point. He thinks he has us eating out of the palm of his hand. This is how he tries to defeat us, as long as we follow along.

As soon as we begin to feel stress and anxiety trying to kick in and take over, that is when we need to be strong, not be afraid, and do our best to resist it. How? We stop letting it control us, and we realize where the attack is coming from. And we say NO!

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

The quicker we pick up on the attack against us, the better our days will be. We can’t let the enemy defeat us.

Be strong, rebuke him in Jesus’ name and enjoy your day. God is with you!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-21-15

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Do we have those days where we just want to run away from everything, everybody and all our responsibilities? Or maybe even move somewhere and start over, make new friends and get a new job and live in a brand new place. Just start over!

I think we all feel like this from time to time. We Just get tired of the same ole, same ole thing. We get tired of the fight it takes every day to keep things going, to keep people happy and to keep our heads above water.

Sometimes we don’t even know what needs to change. We just know that something needs to change, that we are not getting ahead and we can’t keep doing the same things any longer.

When we get to this point, it can cause us to get anxious. What does it mean to be anxious?

It means we’re afraid or nervous, especially about what may happen. We feel anxiety – Causing or showing fear or nervousness: wanting or eager to do or have something very much especially because of fear or nervousness.

We need to be reminded of this verse, and that God tells us to be anxious for nothing. That means nothing, not even for change.

It’s good when we know we need to make a change and we are more than willing to do it, but the balance to it is not to be afraid or nervous or anxious for the change to come.

Instead, embrace it, wait prayerfully and thankfully for God’s direction.

This is where we can get into trouble, if we let fear and nervousness dominate the situation. If we are not careful, we will open doors that God never intended for us to have opened or to walk through. Anxiousness can cause us to get ahead of God or outside of His will for us.

Many people are in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing today because of being anxious or being afraid. Maybe the change that needs to come is learning how to wait in the way He tells us to.

Psalm 27:14(NKJV) 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-29-13

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Anxiety. It’s something that a lot of people seem to struggle with these days. We live in a world full of things that can cause us to become anxious, stressed, worried or nervous.

But we are told in God’s word to be anxious for nothing! Anxiety is related to worrying. So what does the Bible say about worrying?

Matthew 6:27 (NKJV) Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

So we need to know and understand that we are not to worry, even though human nature would have us worrying about everything!

Many of us might try to relate anxiety to something that happened to us in our past.

But this is not so much of a psychological problem as it is a spiritual problem. Without getting too deep about it, let us try to explain what this means. The enemy (satan) commands various types of demonic spirits. These different spirits have different tasks. Some cause diseases, some cause division, some cause fear, etc.

Anxiety is, many times, caused by a spirit of fear. Spirits of fear are not from God. They are from the devil, the enemy of our soul. So if it is not from God, we need to know that we don’t have to put up with it or live with it.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

As believers, we have the authority to rebuke these spirits of fear and command them to leave us alone and never come back.

Luke 10:19 (NKJV) Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

You can see in this verse that Jesus told us we have authority over all the power of the enemy. This includes spirits of fear, that cause us to worry or be anxious.

So the next time you start to become anxious, remind yourself that God has not given us a spirit of fear! Rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus and tell it to leave you alone. And then set your mind on things above, not on things of this earth.

And then rest in God’s peace, knowing that He is on the throne and you are resting in His hands.
