Bible Verse of The Day – 1-15-25

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.

Sometimes the depth of a specific scripture will hit us like it never has before despite having read it many times.

As I saw this verse today, it impacted me. The reality of it and what it entails was driven home by the Holy Spirit. And it caught my attention in a way it never has before.

Adam was formed from dirt. Dirt!

Dirt, dust, and grit. From this came the first human, formed by the hands of God.

Adam literally means, earth, or soil.

But God did not stop there.

After forming Adam, He then breathed life into the nostrils of this dirt body, giving him life, making him a live human being.

His heart began to beat. His lungs began to breathe in air and breathe out carbon dioxide.

His veins and arteries filled with blood that was being circulated by his beating heart.

His eyes began to see. And his mind began to think thoughts.

Ponder that for a moment or two.

The idea that God could breathe life into a body formed from dirt is far beyond what the human mind can begin to comprehend.

But it is truth. And by the power of the Holy Spirit, we embrace that truth. We learn of God’s miraculous and wonderous power. And we begin to understand who God is.

Every day that we live and breathe, let us continue to discover and embrace who God is. Let us learn to draw closer to Him each day.

And let us put Him first, above all else that vies for our time and attention.

And in doing so, we will see Him for who He is, learning to love Him more with each passing day, and trusting Him in ways that are bigger than we could ever imagine.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-29-14

Psalm 139:14 (NKJV) 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

The human body is a complete marvel in all of its intricacies.

Even just the fact that we can control our limbs, hands, feet, fingers and toes by merely wanting to do so is completely awe-inspiring.

Each day that we live, we take so much of what we can do for granted.

We see, hear and smell. We walk, run and do all kinds of other physical activities.

And yet we barely give it a thought. We just do it and never realize that every action that we take or thought that we think is a miracle of God’s workmanship.

Did you know that the second we are conceived in the womb, our fingerprints, our DNA, our sex and our blood type are determined in a split second?

Have you ever thought about some of the functions of our bodies, beyond the obvious stuff?

Did you know that our eyebrows keep sweat from getting into our eyes? And our fingernails are there to protect our fingertips? And our toes help us balance?

There are so many things that we never think of, but yet it’s all part of the miraculous, creative power of God.

As you read this today, stop for a moment and think about some of the things you do each and every day that require the awesome creativity of God at work in your life.

It’s pretty awe-inspiring, isn’t it?

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-13

Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Before I formed you in the womb. These words are much more powerful than we can even begin to realize.

God forms each and every one of us in our mother’s womb. We don’t just happen. We don’t just start from nothing and suddenly appear. God forms each and every one of us, individually, uniquely and with His signature all over us.

We are intricately designed. The science of the human body is truly awe-inspiring and should leave every single one of us speechless when we grasp the incredible wonder of how we are formed.

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

We have never included a picture in any of our past Bible Verse of The Day emails, but today we wanted to include this picture to help drive home the point of our message.

Today, as you see yourself in the mirror or as you observe those around you, think about how God has formed each and every one of us in such awesome and incredible detail.

Have an incredibly blessed weekend.
