Bible Verse of The Day – 8-17-24

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

We must learn to trust God in many areas of our lives, especially when He brings change.

Change is often met with resistance. It is a natural reaction to be hesitant when change comes.

But what if we embraced it, even though we are scared and afraid of the unknown?

We would find that the change we once feared is what we needed to help us grow.

Can we remember a time when we had to stop the way we were doing something and learn something completely different? Something we never thought we would be doing?

And where did it take us?

If we follow the change through, and give it some time, we will forget about the fear and uncomfortable part of it and begin to see the results from allowing change to do its part.

God does not change things up on us to make us look silly, or to cause us to fret, or to bring insecurity. He brings change for one reason; that we may grow and benefit!

And if we trust Him, embracing His change rather than talking ourselves out of it, we will grow in our walk with Him and He will continue to direct our path. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-27-23 – New Beginnings

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in Jesus’ name! 

There is an old saying that goes something like this; The only true constant in life is change”. 

This is true, even as Ecclesiastes tells us that to everything there is a season. Seasons come and go. And us learning to flow with those changes is an important part of our walk with God. 

Our newest video, “New Beginnings”, addresses this very thing, as we teach about the times in our lives when we face changing seasons and new situations that we need to adjust to. 

There is something in this video for everyone, so we hope you will take a few minutes to watch it. 

Please click here to watch the video now.

We love you all. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-20-21

John 14:27 (NKJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Don’t get stuck on a certain part of your journey and lose out on the rest of what God may have for us.

This is a trick of the enemy.

He will try to get us to keep our eyes on the one thing that meant a lot to us, long after the season for it has ended.

He does this so that we will miss out on what God has for us in the future.

How many of us are in a state of “I’m not so sure about what is going to happen now that things are different”?

We keep thinking about how it was, better than ever before, and now we have nothing to look forward to.

We just can’t seem to get over the fact that our situation has changed. And now we won’t let ourselves move forward.

I know exactly how that feels.

I remember one year in particular. Both my daughters had gotten married and had moved out.

I remember looking at their empty rooms and saying, “Wow! Where did the time go?”.

They were gone, and their rooms were empty.

I cried, of course, and I even moped a bit.

I didn’t really know what to do next because my life revolved around caring for them, nurturing, guiding and holding them.

In the blink of an eye it was all gone, and I just didn’t quite know what to do with myself.

The house was way too quiet and it felt very empty. I felt alone. I felt like a part of me was empty and lost. And I was a bit confused about this new life of mine.

As time went by, I settled down and began to accept what had taken place.

I knew if I kept looking back, longing for the way things used to be, I would remain in this sad state. I had to let go of what was and move on to what is.

You may be scared today. Maybe you don’t even know how to move on.

All I could do during that time was say, “OK, I’m here. Now what, Lord?”.

Rest in Him. Let His peace carry you through it.

I’ve learned to love today and where I’m at.

My husband and I live out our lives to the fullest. We absolutely love doing things together.

There is hope for the hopeless. Let Him unfold it. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Every hair on our head is numbered.

Luke 12:7 (NKJV) 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

BIble Verse of The Day – 3-17-15

Psalm 28:7 (NKJV) 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.

Some of us need change really badly. Everything has been the same for so long it’s wearing on us and causing our joy to be sucked out of us. We have become unhappy and feeling empty, not wanting to be around anyone or anything, afraid they may see this side of us.

There is nothing that makes us happy. All we do is put on a fake smile and get through each day. All the beauty that is around us is lost in the neverending feeling of wanting something to happen, wanting some change to come into our situation.

We are not going to say go ahead and give in to to those feelings. But instead we say right now is the time we have to push ourselves even more to find the good in things every day, despite how we feel and what we see going on.

This is the time to persevere, the time to go above and beyond how we feel and what we think. Time to push harder than we have ever pushed before. It’s not over and we don’t give up.

Praise God in the storm. With every ounce of strength in us, open our mouths and praise Him. HOLD on tight; He is our strength and our shield. Amen.

Change will come!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-15-12

(Eccl 3:6 NKJV)  A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away…

If we need a breakthrough in our lives today, in any area, whether it is our health, our ministry, our work place, our finances, etc., and we’re not getting it, we need to stop doing what we have always done and change it up.

Habits will keep us in bondage. Breaking the habit of always doing what we’ve always done will help to bring in the breakthrough!

Can we agree that if we try and try, and nothing is changing, that we don’t give up trying, we just need to try something else?

Come on, let’s be bold. if God is telling us to throw some things away today, we need to do it!!

Change is coming; don’t be afraid!! If it is God’s change for us… we need to embrace it!!

We serve a faithful God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-6-12

(Gal 6:9 KJV)  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

How many of us are in a challenging season right now?

Everything in us is saying “when is this ever going to change? When will I get my raise? When will these people stop with their gossip about me? When will my child respect me and listen to what I have to say? When will my spouse pay attention to me? When, when when?”

Don’t give up… faint NOT! Don’t even entertain these thoughts. When they come at you, you come right back with “IN DUE SEASON”, because that’s what God says!!

Repeat these words: “In Due SEASON we shall REAP”.

We claim this promise over your situations today.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 3-1-12

(Eccl 3:1 NKJV)  To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven…

As we follow God and His direction for our lives that there will be seasons in our lives.

I’ve learned that if I allow God to lead me, I may be doing something for a while and then God may switch it up. As soon as I start to get a little comfortable and secure in what I’m doing, it seems like things change. Seasons come and seasons go.

I’m a person that doesn’t care to change things. I like to know what I have to do and get really good at doing it. I love to plan and organize. But, I have learned to be ready at any time, for there will come new seasons when God has the reigns of your life.

Don’t be surprised if God decides to change something up on you. If you’re thinking you have it all planned out, remember that seasons change whether we think we are ready or not. Whether we’re ready or not isn’t what matters.

If God says it’s time to change, then we just have to trust Him.
