Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-24

Psalm 9:1 (NKJV) 1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

God has been so very faithful to me.

Sometimes I don’t see it all, but I’ve been learning to stop and watch. To stop and ponder. And to stop and praise Him.

I’ve been learning that life flies by. And if we don’t stop the busyness, or slow it down and notice the important things, they will fly by unnoticed as well.

There is no, “thank you God for what you just did for me,” because I didn’t stop long enough to see it. I didn’t even notice it took place. Yet, He did it for me. I’m just too busy carrying on with my usual stuff.

Changes are happening all the time.

People that were sick are now feeling better. People that were in hardship are now past those hard times and moving forward.

People that needed to make difficult decisions have made them and moved past it, and are now in a different place.

See what He is doing in our life, and take the time to thank Him, to praise Him, and to recognize that He did it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-4-24

John 10:14-15 (NKJV) 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

And I know My sheep.

That right there brings me so much comfort.

As we all know, at times we can be tested. Sometimes our thoughts and emotions will have us saying, “God, are you there?”.

We can surely know now that He would go the extra mile for us.

Why? Because He’s already done it.

David would often plead with Him, “do not hide from me oh, Lord. Come quickly and save me”.

Psalm 69:17 (NKJV) 17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in trouble; Hear me speedily.

We aren’t the only ones who need God to act fast. David seemed to always be battling enemies.

Believe me when I tell you, God already knows. But, He still wants us to come to Him. He wants us to lean on Him; to run to Him and tell Him, like David, “I’m in deep trouble”.

Acknowledging the state we are in will cause us to get serious.

I don’t think David was playing games when He cried out. He knew where His help came from, and we need to know God is there.

His righteous right hand will hold us up.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

He is known by His sheep.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-20-23

Romans 8:28 (NKJV) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Many Christians will often quote this verse.

It is a piece of Biblical wisdom that has withstood the test of time and has held true down through the centuries.

Sometimes this verse may seem inappropriately overquoted, to the point where it seems to lose some of its meaning.

And rightly so, since people do sometimes tend to use certain phrases loosely.

But that doesn’t mean that it has lost its meaning. God is faithful. He never changes, and His word never loses its truth.

If many of us were to look at our own lives, we would see that this verse speaks truth, and many of us can testify to that truth.

On a personal level, I can look back at many situations in my own life that looked very bleak on the surface, especially to my human eyes.

But as each one played out, God showed me how He works, and how He can take bad and turn it into good.

Does this mean that nothing bad will happen to us?

No. Bad things happen. And they even happen to good people, including God’s children.

Jesus told us this. He said trials and tribulations will come. But He also told us to be of good cheer, and to find our peace in Him, because He has overcome the world.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

So, it’s important that we trust God even during storms and hard times. And especially during times when we feel like we don’t understand what is happening.

It is these kinds of situations that can be used to strengthen our faith and trust in God if we allow Him to use them as such.

It is seldom easy, but each hard thing that we face holds the opportunity to bring us closer to God and grow as a believer. We just need to make the choice to let God guide our every step, our every thought and our every word.

Romans 5:3-4 (NKJV) 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-14-23

Psalm 9:9-10 (NKJV) 9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

As we seek Him and put our trust in Him, He is there with us through thick and thin.

So many times, I’ve been in predicaments in my life that were very difficult, like most of you. When that has happened, He was there!

He was there when I was lost, coaxing me and drawing me by the Holy Spirit.

As I sat listening to the preacher telling me all about Him, the moment came when I knew I had to get up out of my seat and walk down that aisle and repent, putting my faith in Him, trusting Him as my Savior.

He was there when I was going to get blamed for something I didn’t do but had been tagging along with others who were trouble.

He was there when I was testing the boundaries, feeling conviction, but trying to ignore it.

He was there when I almost lost everything I owned.

He was there when my loved ones passed away.

He was there when I was broken, when I cried so hard my eyes ached from the tears.

He is always there, and has always protected, shielded, comforted and brought me through it all.

You see if we do not break, He can never fix us.

He waits for us to stop trying to hold it all together by our own strength. We can break. We can let go. We can admit that we cannot bear any more of what we are dealing with.

He is there. He is our refuge. He will mend us if we let Him.

God bless you and keep you safe, today and forever. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-9-23

Psalm 61:1-2 (NKJV) 1 Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

How many times do we find ourselves crying out to God in this same way?

“God, can you hear me? I need to know what to do. I need to know how to handle this situation. I need to know what to put on my plate and what to take off. I am so overwhelmed right now, please attend to my prayer.”

I feel like I’m always crying out to God for help.

Sometimes, I sound like a broken record. But, I do this because I have experienced His help many times in my life. There really is no other help like My Rock that is higher than I.

Every time, He has shown me, carried me, held me.

He has led  me through the shadow of death with His rod and staff. He got me to the other side. And I was not destroyed.

Psalm 23:4 (NKJV) 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

He knows, children of God! He has the answer. And no matter how many times we need to cry out for Him, He will be our Rock!

Who is crying today for help? Do you know that your Rock will be there for you? He will take your overwhelmed heart and comfort you.

He is our VICTORY! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-13-23

Psalm 42:8 (NKJV) 8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me — A prayer to the God of my life.

This beautiful Psalm sums up God’s incredible faithfulness in just two lines.

Life can sometimes be extremely hard. We all have battles to fight and things we must face in our lives.

But we never face them alone.

God is our faithful Guide, leading us through each trial we walk through.

He sent the Holy Spirit to teach us, help us, lead us, and guide each step we take.

Whether it is daytime or nighttime, He is there.

As He led the Israelites by night with a pillar of fire, He also leads us with His spirit.

Many say that because we are His children, we should never face trials or calamity, but His word tells us that isn’t the case.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

So, we say to you today, it is time for us to take our eyes off the thing that stands before us, appearing to block our path and hold us back.

Instead, let us fix our eyes on our Creator and Redeemer, the author and finisher of our faith, holding steadfast in the face of any adversity and holding tightly to Him.

Why?

Because He is faithful.

Lamentations 5:19 (NLT) 19 But Lord, you remain the same forever! Your throne continues from generation to generation.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-7-23

Psalm 94:17-19 (NKJV) 17 Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence. 18 If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. 19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.

No matter what we face in our lives, God is there with us.

He is our refuge and our strength in times of trouble or distress (Psalm 46:1).

In all of life’s ups, downs, storms and battles, God is our source of hope.

The things we face can often seem insurmountable. And sometimes they are if we fight them on our own, by our own strength and with our own understanding.

Not every battle is easily won. In fact, some may very well feel like they will be our demise; our end.

But if we look to God for our help, He will walk us through each situation step by step.

As we allow Him to, He will give us understanding.

And as we let Him, He will strengthen us when we are weak.

He breathes new life into us as we surrender to Him.

No matter what we are facing right now, God has the answer that we need.

Sometimes that answer might not be what we are expecting. It might not even be what we want. But it is the right answer.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

We need to be careful not to reject His answer just because it isn’t what we were expecting.

Trust Him. Let Him show us what it is that we need to see, and tell us what we need to hear.

And as we do this, we will see that His comforts will delight our soul.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-8-23

Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV) 17 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Let’s focus on where this verse says, “He will quiet you with His love”.

There have been many times that God has done this for me, quieted me with His love, especially when I needed Him the most.

He was there, quietly reminding me Who I belong to. He knew my emotions; my pain, my sorrow. He knew what I needed at that time.

When God touches us in this way, these are the most beautiful and fulfilling moments in our lives.

When He quiets us with His love, it will last through the entire trial we are going through. It will stick with us. It’s like He deposits in us exactly what we need to carry us through.

His love has a way of keeping us and holding us tightly. It gives us strength to continue on. It gives us determination to reach the other side of our situation, and even go beyond what we ever thought we could do.

Your thoughts may be taking you in every direction today. Your emotions may be all over the place, wearing you down. Your situation may be too heavy for you.

He is willing to quiet you with His love, right now, right where you are.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-23

Jeremiah 1:19 (NKJV) 19 They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

God’s plans for His people are good. His plans give us hope! He is with us and will deliver us.

There is nothing so big, so bad or so deeply rooted that He can’t fix.

So, what are we going to do?

We are going to stop talking about it and trust Him with it all! Amen.

We know that faith is the answer.

I remember one day, years ago, I was sitting in the hospital.

The doctor came out to let us know that my dad needed heart surgery. It was unexpected and very scary.

His heart was in bad condition.

He was 80, and all the years I had known him I had never seen him in this kind of frail position.

He was Dad; strong, smart and always there for us kids.

But now it had been turned around. We had to be strong, wise and there for him.

Words were hard for me to find. All I kept thinking was, “I need You God. please help!”.

Sometimes when we are dealing with deep or hard things, words are scarce. We just have to trust Him.

God says He is with you, and it’s in those types of moments you know it for sure! It becomes real.

Are you in that position today?

Do you need to believe that He will deliver you?

We live in a real world, with real problems. We need to be real with each other and with God.

He knows you have a lack of words right now. But it’s not always words He wants to hear. It’s our faith in Him that He wants to see.

Drop everything you are doing and ask Him to help your unbelief.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-16-23

Psalm 5:11 (NKJV) 11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.

Rejoice, shout for joy, and be joyful. For the Lord God will defend us!

We know that God is here. We know that He is watching everything. He is willing and ready to help us no matter what we are going through in this life.

But when things are right in our faces, or we have taken a hard hit, what do we do? How do we react?

Do we get nervous and immediately tense up? Do we get scared and start speaking words and having thoughts of the worst?

Anxiety will immediately put us in a state of depression if we’re not careful.

Proverbs 12:25 (NKJV) 25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.

Don’t lose sight of Who we belong to and Who takes care of us.

We are not left alone. We are more than conquerors, no matter where we are in our life.

We have Who it takes to help us through the fiercest of battles.

He is waiting for us to trust Him; to believe in Him to get us through it all and for us to praise Him even in the storms!

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

We don’t’ conquer without Him, but through Him, let’s remember this and keep it dear to our hearts.

Who today is battling?

I think we can all say together, “Yes, we are on the battlefield!”

Together, let us claim our victory as God defends us! Amen.
