Bible Verse of The Day – 8-21-19

Isaiah 43:2 (NKJV) 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

God is true. His promises never fail.

Sometimes we may face things that cause us to question Him. Sometimes those things can be very difficult. Some can even change our lives forever, leaving scars that time seemingly can’t erase.

Life has a way of rising up in our faces from time to time, presenting challenges to us on varying levels.

As we face the things that are hard, it’s important that we don’t point a finger at God, blaming Him for them. God is not to blame. God does not bring evil. He only brings good.

James 1:17 (NKJV) 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

God brings only light to the world, and to our lives.

1 John 1:5 (NKJV)5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

Life won’t always be easy. God hasn’t promised us that we will be free of trials. Despite being a child of God, we will still face difficulties at times.

The important thing for us to remember is that when we face those difficult times, He will be there to lead us through them, bringing us out on the other side.

No, it won’t always be easy. And no, it won’t be pleasant.

But one thing is for sure; He will be there, guiding us through each and every step.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-19

1 Chronicles 16:25 (NKJV) 25 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.

Today, as I write this devotional, I ponder on my life and how through it all God has been so very good.

He has saved me from a lot of things; things that I thought would be OK to step out in, but obviously weren’t good for me.

He has intervened at times when I thought there didn’t need to be any intervention or I wasn’t aware of any danger.

He has walked me through some tough days, and not just me, but people I love and care about. He has been there all along.

It’s funny how you can look back and see the hand of God in our lives so many times. He is so gentle, so loving and so subtle, we can almost miss it if we don’t pay close attention.

Sometimes it takes us slowing our lives down so we can take the time to reflect on God’s greatness.

He surely is great and greatly to be praised!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-2-19

1 Peter 3:12 (NKJV) 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

How very encouraging! His eyes are on the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers.

Who are the righteous?

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

If we are without Christ, on our own, God sees us as sinners. But, through Christ we become the righteousness of God. As soon as we accept Jesus as our Lord, we step out of our old self and become a new creation.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

NEW… praises be to God!

Be comforted today. This is a promise to us. If we are in some kind of trouble, God knows. His very eyes see it and He’s listening to our prayers.

Doesn’t this just make you want to stand up and shout? Someone as great as our Lord has our back.

Don’t let the lies of the enemy, his little scare tactics, try and keep us walking around worried and trembling anymore. We have Jehovah Jireh watching and listening. We just have to keep talking, keep believing and keep walking! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-19

Lamentations 3:23 (NKJV) 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

What an honor it is to be able to serve God and His children.

He is a good God and a faithful, loving and caring Father.

He will go above and beyond to move mountains for His children. He will not stop at anything when it comes to providing for us.

He is a God that is true to His everlasting Word. We can stand on His Promises and know that He will come through every time.

I don’t know what you or someone you may love deeply might be going through today, but God will be there for you both. He is a personal God and knows what it will take to get you through. Amen.

He is steadfast, and He will not forsake you. Trust Him. Believe with all your heart what He is saying to you, and you will see with your own eyes what great and mighty things He will do.

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-16-19

Psalm 23:1 (NKJV) 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

We shall not want. The Lord is our light, our strength, our refuge and our Rock. He’s merciful, kind, compassionate, and forgiving.

Every good and perfect gift is from Him. He does not change. He is our Provider. He is patient. He is our Healer, our Shield and the lifter of our heads.

Psalm 3:3 (NKJV) 3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

He is Everything we need and more. He sustains us and helps us to see what is important in this life that we live.

This is a journey for all of us, and we must take it seriously. He has a plan and purpose for us while we are here. And as we seek Him, He will lead us through it.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-23-19

1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

Jesus did all that He did, once for all, for each one of us. Why? Because of the importance of our relationship with our Father.

Now that we have a way to our Father, it makes it convenient for us to go to Him, through Jesus Christ, His Son. And we can go to Him at any time.

In the morning when we get up, before our day even begins, He is there. In the afternoon during our lunch break, He is there. In the evening before we get into bed, He is there. Those sleepless and restless nights, He is there. If we are tormented during the night. He is there.

He is never too busy to listen and He is never too busy to answer. He is never overworked or under-worked. He is never too late or too early. He is never too tired. Our Father, Our God, Our Jehovah Jireh is Omnipotent, He is all-powerful. Omniscient, He is all knowing and Omnipresent, He is present everywhere.

Knowing that, what should we all be doing? Going to Him, and spending time.

God wants us to Himself. He loves to have each one of us coming to Him every day, loving on Him, worshiping Him, praising and thanking Him. He loves our songs from our heart. It means so much to Him.

Jesus, the Just, suffered for our sins so that we, the unjust, could go to God. Through Jesus we have the victory.

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-19

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

Being thankful for what we have is something to keep at the forefront of our hearts and minds.

Sometimes it can be very easy to forget the hardships that God has brought us through. The sting we felt and tears we shed fade away into the past.

How about the heartache and fear that was so heavy at night when we laid awake in bed, trying to figure it all out? Have they just slowly become a distant memory?

It can be easy sometimes to forget how God, in His omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent way, came through and helped us come through it all.

Time goes by and we forget. The stress we once felt subsides. The tears turn to joy, the heartache heals and the fear, if we’re not careful, can turn into pride.

After all God brought us through, and our situation is behind us, remember Who set us free. Remember Who brought us out of our hardship, our situation. And don’t forget to remain in Him, and stay thankful for all that He will continue to help us with every day for as long as we live.

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.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-19

Luke 1:46-47 (NKJV) 46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

We can all rejoice in God our Savior today, for He is good!

He is our refuge, and strength. He is our help when we are in trouble. He is our strong tower to whom we run and find safety.

He is our joy. He will uphold us when we are afraid. He is our song and has given every one of us victory.

Those who seek Him lack no good thing. He keeps us in peace. He is our hiding place and He will protect us.

He is the Lord, faithful and worthy! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-17-18

Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV) 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

Immanuel meaning, God with us.

Have we ever felt scared, fearful, or stressed about anything? I think at one time or another we all have been in a situation or position where we have felt that way.

We may not want to remember it because it’s not pleasant. It’s not something we want to walk around and tell everyone about. It leaves a bad taste in our mouths, and we never want to go there again.

It’s good to know that when we do face stress and fear we are not alone if we have Christ as our Savior.

God is with us, He loves us, and He protects us.

When we stop and think about how He made this happen, it can cause our heads to hurt. God is amazing! He came to this earth for us through a virgin. A virgin! Immanuel, God with us, was birthed as the Savior of this world. He is Jesus Christ, God’s perfect Son.

He rescued us from our sin, taught us how to behave and how to carry ourselves. There is not a day that goes by that He doesn’t love us.

Don’t be afraid of what we face in this world. He is with us to the end.

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-18

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

We have seen God’s faithfulness time and time again. He is never late, but right on time.

He will bring food to your table. He will bring finances to pay your bills. He will bring a job when we have lost ours. He will bring strength when we are weak, peace when our anxiety is at its peak. He will help us in our time of unbelief.

Someone today is struggling. It could be something small or it could be huge. Whatever you are going through, hold on.

Don’t give up or give in to negativity, cynicism, fear or anxiety. These are the devil’s tools to wear us down.

Have faith in God and keep trusting Him, no matter what it looks like or feels like. We don’t walk by sight, but by faith!

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-21-18

Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV) 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

Where does prayer and singing come from when all is going wrong? It comes from His Spirit that lives, moves and breathes in us. It rises above our circumstances and our situations.

When we are in a predicament and we can’t see the light, what direction to go or the reason why we are even going through it, we need to stop trying to figure it out. That is the biggest distraction the devil will use on us.

Put it aside and start praying and singing to God. Start thanking Him that He is going to see us through it.

Whatever is going on right now, He knew it was going to take place before it even happened. He has a plan and we need to let Him work it out.

Can we find a song within us? Can we stop trying to figure things out long enough to let it rise up? Can we push back the voices and the lies that try to cause us to go deeper and deeper into depression or wear ourselves out with anxiety?

Paul and Silas had just been beaten with rods and thrown into prison. For what? They had done nothing wrong, (Acts 16:16-24).

They couldn’t spend time thinking and pondering about it. They had to go beyond what their bodies were feeling, and what they were thinking, in order to let the Spirit of God turn it around for them.

They let Him continue to work in them even through their physical pain and tattered emotions. By doing so, not only did God set them free, but He brought deliverance to others that were around them.

The prison guard and his whole household were saved!

How we act in a time of crisis, hardship or mistreatment is crucial. As believers, we must be strong in God and let Him guide us and show us the proper way to carry ourselves, despite the unfair treatment we may be enduring.

We don’t know the victory that will come from it, not only for us, but others that are involved.

Lift up our voices today. Pray and sing. It will break those chains supernaturally and open the doors to freedom!! Amen.

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
