Bible verse of The Day – 9-4-15

Psalm 30:4 (NKJV) 4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

Stop for a few minutes, no matter what we have planned for today.

Maybe we were planning on running right out the door this morning because we have an urgent meeting at work.

Maybe our children need to be dropped off at daycare, babysitters, or school. Maybe we have a doctor’s appointment.

Maybe we are scheduled to teach a class or hold a prayer meeting. Maybe we are heading out to preach and teach at a Bible college, etc.

Whatever it is, it can all wait. There is Someone we need to remember before we go running out that door; that is Jesus Christ our friend.

John 15:14 (NKJV) 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

Give Him thanks and remember His holy name!!

Hallelujah!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-5-13

(1 Corinthians 2:12 NKJV)  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

There have been times that God has promised me things and He has brought them in, but I often hear these words right before the breakthrough comes…”Stay close to me.”

Why would God say to stay close to Him, when His word says that when we receive Him as our personal Lord and Savior that His Spirit lives in us? This was a question I would ponder often.

What I have learned over the years is that even though God, through the blood of Jesus, lives in us upon receiving salvation, we still play an important part in working with Him to keep ourselves close.

You see, God’s Spirit is in us, but He doesn’t always have the freedom to lead, guide or give advice. It is up to us to let Him do this.

God gives us a free will and we have to be the ones to remain close to Him. Staying close simply means always listening and watching, staying alert to Him, giving Him the freedom to help at all times, guide at all times and walk us through everyday stuff at all times… not just when we get in trouble or have a bad report. He wants us to be aware of Him at ALL times.

Stay close to God and let Him birth His will in us, bringing it to pass as we walk hand in hand with Him. Oh how glorious it is taking steps with the Omnipresent, Omnipotent Jehovah, the Alpha & Omega!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-22-13

(Colossians 3:2 NKJV)  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

Where are our minds? What do we set them on?

There are a couple of different angles that this could be taught from, but today I we’d like to focus on this aspect;

What occupies our thoughts? Are we spending all of our waking moments wrapped up in earthly matters, or are we giving God the time that He deserves?

As we touched on last week, we can start our day by getting caught up in the cares of our day, or we can wake up and give God our attention before we get busy, setting things in order as soon as we wake up.

But what about after we’re up and about? Are we pushing God aside for the remainder of our day, are we keeping Him in the forefront of our thoughts and the things that we do?

God is everything. He is our source of life. Without Him we are nothing. But with Him we can do all things.

Let’s stop rushing through our days, weeks and years and make an effort to deliberately give God all the time and attention that He is due.
