Bible Verse of The Day – 5-23-24

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

As I sit out in my yard today, the fragrance of fresh, new blossoms fills the air.

The birds are chirping, singing a happy song. The sky is so blue, and the green of the trees, grass and shrubs is vibrant. I am in awe!

My heart shouts with praise, ”God is good!”

How often do we take the time to love and appreciate the things around us? Those things that are meant to bless us on that very day, at that very moment.

Imagine if God gave us a day such as this, a pretty day to help us face what we were going through. And we just got up in the morning and ran from the time our feet hit the floor until the time we went to bed, and never even got to enjoy His answer for that day.

I wonder how many of His answers we have missed because we don’t stop for a moment to recognize them.

How many answers are in those little things we take for granted every day?

Let our eyes be open today to His beauty all around us.

Let our ears hear the things that will calm our spirit.

Let our hearts take in His majesty, and let us sit at His feet to give Him thanks.

Those geese flying overhead making their honking sounds may just be what we need to calm our soul and help us hear what God may have been trying to tell us all along.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-30-24

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.

After our Lord God formed man, He then breathed the breath of life into mans nostrils, causing man to become a living being.

I think of this, and I must ask myself, who are we?

You and I are living beings, by the breath of Almighty God. Without His breath none of us would be here today

That alone should cause us to want to worship Him. He formed us and then He gave us life with His very own breath!

Think about it. If He had not formed man and breathed into him, we would not exist. None of us would be here.

This alone makes me drop to my knees and praise Him. Bless You Lord! How magnificent is our God.

1 Chronicles 16:36 (NKJV) 36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting!

How great is our God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-14-21

Psalm 66:4 (NKJV) 4 All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah

This morning, as I was in our kitchen and I was making a hot drink, we had our back door open.

While I was preparing my Chai, I could hear what sounded like an absolute symphony of birds, singing like there was no tomorrow!

I stopped and listened, in awe at the incredible sounds they were making.

There was one bird in particular that was standing out above the rest. Not so much because it was that much louder, but because of the type of call it had. It was absolutely beautiful to hear.

As I listened, I thought to myself, “I wonder what’s got that bird so happy”.

I ran a few ideas through my imagination, as if birds have the capability to think and reason, surmising that it could be this or that.

And then it hit me. His song was praising God, the Creator of heaven and earth.

Now, the bird may not have known this, since they are not highly intelligent, but that’s what it was doing; giving God glory for His creation and His provision.

Every note that it sang glorified God. Every individual bird song that I could hear was singing praises to God.

What an incredible world we live in. Yes, there is evil at play in the world. But when we consider how it formed and Who made it, and if we see it for what it is, we can’t help but see God in it and give Him glory for it, just as those birds were doing.

Look up, and look around, people of God! Watch and listen.

God is everywhere!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-11-19

Psalm 24:10 (NKJV) 10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

Sometimes it’s important to simply sit and contemplate God and who He is.

Our human minds can never completely comprehend Him and His ways, but when we ponder on Him it helps us to learn to revere Him and love Him even more than we do already.

There are many ways to learn to revere Him, but one of the best ways is to take notice of everything around us. God’s creation is one of the best examples of His workmanship. It’s raw and beautiful, and we can take it in without it being run through some of the filters that the world tells us we have to use when we look at ourselves.

You know. The man-made standards that we tend to apply to ourselves when we see ourselves in the mirror that make us think about who we’d rather be, instead of who God has made us to be.

God doesn’t need Photoshop to make His creation look beautiful. It already is beautiful and breathtaking. It speaks volumes about His majesty and His glory.

And even though we humans are full of flaws when it comes to our behavior, the wonders of the human body far outweigh our selfish, terrible actions if we can find it in ourselves to look past all of the ugliness in the things we say and do at times.

Sit. Kneel. Lay on your face. It doesn’t matter how we do it. The important thing is that we do it; we take time to recognize the King of glory and give Him the love and reverence due Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-17

Deuteronomy 5:24 (NKJV) 24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives.

Look around today and see the glory of the Lord among us. We don’t have to look too far or too hard. It is right in front of us.

The human body is beautiful and wonderfully made, and the earth is full of His magnificent, creative beauty.

The sky above us is splendid and AWESOME to take in! The trees are full of life. Every branch and leaf is unique in its own way. The flowers and their beauty and scent are breathtaking. The sun shines down on them to help them grow, and the rain feeds the earth. We are so blessed!

The Lord our God is alive. He is moving every day! Draw close to Him.

Bible verse of The Day – 1-21-16

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.

Sometimes I stop and think about the miracle of the human body.

I think about how everything about our bodies is intricately created and put together with extreme precision.

Think about it. Our eyes are marvels of engineering. Our pupil expands and contracts automatically, to control the amount of light that gets let in.

Our hearts are strong pumps that beat 24 hours per day, with no rest as they circulate the blood throughout our bodies.

Our lungs take in the air we breathe. They expand and contract with each breath, filtering the air and dividing it so our bodies can use it efficiently.

Our nervous system is a complete miracle in itself. We move our muscles and members simply by willing it to happen. We feel, hear, see and smell all because of the different nerves and sensory components in our bodies.

If we get cut, the wound closes up and heals. If we pull a muscle, it fixes itself. If we get sick, our body has its own built-in system for fighting off bacteria and healing itself. It also creates antibodies that will help to keep us from getting that same sickness again.

And the entire conception and birth process is something that can never be explained by simple logic.

We, as God’s creations, are awe-inspiring and incredible. His handiwork in us alone is mind-boggling.

Give God thanks today for His miraculous wonders. He is beyond comprehension, and nothing in the world can compare to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-3-15

Psalm 33:8-9 (NKJV) 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

He spoke and it was done.

Wow! What an awesome statement. God spoke and the worlds were formed.

Sometimes I just stop and look around, or ponder on the world where we live. And I am in awe.

I think about the skies, the planets, the trees, the oceans, rivers, streams and lakes.

I see the birds in the air and the awesome creatures here on the ground. I hear the sounds of nature.

I smell the scents of flowers, grapes on the vines and the smells of changing seasons.

And I am in awe.

Everything we see was created by God’s spoken words. He framed our world with His words, literally.

Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV) 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

How often do we take the time to stop and look, and take it all in. How often do we take the time to thank Him for it? And how often do we take the time to appreciate it and spend time enjoying it, as was His plan?

Join me in looking around and standing in awe.

Our God is so incredibly mighty. All that is needed to create life is His voice.

Are we listening?

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-10-14

(Psalm 119:27 NKJV)  Make me understand the way of Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.

Last night we went down to the beach and sat at a place we like to call “The Overlook”. As we sat there, we watched a beautiful sunset.

We meditated on God’s wondrous work in that sunset. We could see His beauty, His magnificence, His calmness, His excellence and His might!

What an Awesome God we serve! Take time today and notice His wondrous works. He has blessed us with such beautiful things to enjoy, and best of all they are free!

Praise be to God!
