Bible Verse of The Day – 11-5-20

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The word of God is so very important to us. We hold onto it for our lives, because it gives us life and keeps us going down the right path.

One of the biggest questions we get from people all around the world is, “how do we hear from God?”.

And the 2nd biggest is, “how do we know what steps to take or when to make a move?”.

These are two very big questions for all of us. And although we would love to give each and every one of you a step-by-step plan as to how to know, the safest and clearest thing to say is, “get it in the word.”

The understanding of God’s timing, and His answers for you are hidden in the scriptures.

We have to seek Him to find them.

We will always hear from God when we are in His Word.

Now, here is the important thing we all need to remember and to know for our own situations. We need to get all of the Word for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.

This doesn’t mean we have to read the whole Bible at once to get our answer for the situation we are in now.

But it means we need to be able to read and study without skipping the sections that we don’t think pertain to us in this day and age we live in. You know; those things that don’t seem relevant because of the difference in cultures between then and now.

It’s also important that we remember that it says “all scripture”, not just part of the scriptures.

This is where some get confused and go off on the wrong road. They only take part of the scripture, and because of this, they don’t ever get the fullness and the balance they need.

We would never order an ice cream cone and settle for just the cone. We want it all!

If we got the cone with no ice cream, we would know right away that we were missing something! We’d be like, “Come on… where’s the best part of it?”.

Some of us are settling for just the cone.

We need all the scripture working in us to be able to reach our destination, fix our errors and walk in righteousness. We need it to bring balance in every area of our life.

Read the whole Word of God. Be thoroughly equipped for every good work! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-19-20

Deuteronomy 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

We need wisdom to follow God.

We need wisdom to stay close to Him. We need His wisdom to make wise choices to do what we should do and not do what we shouldn’t do..

So, what is Moses talking about here? What is this “wisdom” he refers to? How do we get it, and where does it come from?

Moses is telling the Israelites that their wisdom comes from observing and following the Holy scriptures, which at that time were largely comprised of God’s statutes.

To observe (follow) the scriptures will bring wisdom and understanding, not just to us, but to all those around us.

Knowing what God says about certain situations is crucial.

2 Timothy 3:15 (NKJV) 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Scripture reading will help us to know God better.

It will build our faith in Christ and help us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)

It’s not an easy world we live in today. The atmosphere is tense and very heavy. But as we spend time in His word, we will know how to pray and what to pray for.

Our ears and eyes will be alert to what is going on in the Spirit world, and we have the tools (wisdom and understanding) if we stay in the Word of God.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-30-20

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

There is power in the word of God.

The entire Bible, the word of God, is for us to read, to learn from and to grow.

Through it, we get to see the character of our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the sweet Holy Spirit in the fullness of their unity, working together perfectly.

As we study Him through His word, we will grow in our reverence toward Him. We will change from the inside.

Our purpose for living will change, and our hearts will change as we begin to take on His desires.

Who wants to know what God is about on a personal level?

Read His words. We will see His heart, His character and His strong love for us. Learn of His firmness, His provision, and His way of guiding us. He is powerful, sharp, and He discerns the intents of our hearts!

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Bible, the very word of God, is available for us all to pick up and read. And as we do, it will change our hearts, equip us and complete us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-20

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’

Putting God’s Word to work in our lives will keep our discernment sharp.

We will be in tune with His Spirit. He will keep us strong in areas where we are weak.

But we have to stay in His word. Even if it is just a little bit each day, it helps.

Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV) 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

Now, how much time do we give Him in His word? Only we can be honest with ourselves and answer this question.

If we haven’t been giving Him time, then that is probably why we are struggling with restlessness, fear, worrying, and are always in a very frustrated state of mind.

Start today. Give Him some of our time.

Things will come together. He will bring encouragement and stand with us in all that life throws at us.

Deuteronomy 20:4 (NKJV) 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-20

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

God’s word is what helps us to walk in faith. If we don’t have His word in us, the faith we have will be weak. We need to be constantly building it up by keeping His word fresh and new in us.

We’ve got to be hearing Him and what He is saying through His words. And in order to do this, we’ve got to make an effort to spend time reading it and soaking it up.

You know, like one of those books we enjoy and can wait to get home and read. All day we think about getting home so we can get back into it. That’s how the Bible needs to become for us.

It has to be THE book that has priority. The book that calls our name. The book that speaks to us even when we’d rather be doing something else.

Read its words. Stay connected, and we won’t get off track.

We will see change come to us and our situation as we begin to grow in our faith.

WE have to do it, though. No one else can grow our faith for us. Read, and read some more. Hear what it is that God is saying in His word. Take it to heart and enjoy it!!

This book was written for us. It’s our faith builder! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-19

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

The world is dark.

That darkness can spill over into every aspect of our lives if we’re not careful. And before we know it, it will overtake us, dragging us downward a little at a time.

God’s word is a lamp to our feet. It gives light, cutting through the darkness, revealing things to us that we might otherwise not see. And some of these things could be very harmful to us if we were to encounter them without warning.

God’s word is also a light to our path.

So, not only does it illuminate our feet and the area immediately around them, but it shines ahead of us, lighting the way for us as we move forward, showing us the path that God would have us take.

Additionally, God’s word will illuminate us, from the inside out, when we feed on it regularly! And the light that emanates from us will shine on others, bringing His light into their dark world.

Set some things aside and spend time in His word. It’s more than just a book. It’s alive!

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-6-19

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

One of the most incredible things about the word of God is the life and the power it displays.

The word of God is alive. It is never static. It has what we need for every situation in our lives, no matter what we might come up against.

This is why it’s so critical that we spend time in the word!

What we see in one light today may very well speak to us tomorrow in a very different way. That’s the beauty of it. It is very much alive.

As we mature in our walk with God, we will learn to see more and more in His word that speaks to us on a very personal level, touching us in ways that we can apply directly to our lives; ways that change us in a lasting, profound manner.

We just have to be willing to let God’s spirit speak to us and reveal the things to us that God wants us to have understanding in.

As we say so often, this is why it’s so critically important that we make sure to spend time in God’s word. It is our lifeline, our source of wisdom and understanding.

Start small. A little here, and a little there. And then let God slowly immerse you in it.

It will eventually become what you look forward to each day, feeding you and sustaining you through thick and thin.

And as you do this, your world will be opened up more and more to God’s ways and the path He has set your feet on.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-21-19

John 1:12-13 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

I recently saw a post on social media that mentioned the atonement offered through the blood of Christ. As I read this post, I knew right away that something wasn’t quite right about it.

The post mentioned the fact that Jesus offered Himself to the Father, not to us. It then went on to mention that there are many people today who speak about the atonement as though it is something that needs to be accepted by people before it can be applied to their lives.

It did so in a mocking kind of way, as if everyone who believes that we need to take action to receive the “benefits” of Christ’s atonement (salvation) is wrong. And that because Christ died, there is no need for further action on our part.

As I said, I knew right away that there was something terribly wrong with this statement. So, I pondered on it and asked God about it. I wanted to know how to address this sort of untruth, using God’s word.

He immediately reminded me of the scripture above, specifically where it mentions that to those who receive Him, He gives the right to become children of God.

That one verse completely nullifies what was said by the author of that statement.

There is much misinformation being passed around today. The internet makes it very easy for people to say things and have them propagated, without them being carefully scrutinized first. And this is how lies get passed along, and accepted as truth.

This is a perfect example of why we need to spend time in God’s word, learning it and getting it embedded into our spirits. Doing so will allow us to spot error right away, making it easier to avoid being deceived by anything that’s not accurate.

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

God is faithful to speak to us. We just have to make sure we’re listening.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-9-19

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Jesus used the word of God to defend Himself against the temptations that the devil was hitting Him with. He didn’t go into long speeches or enter into debates with him. He simply spoke the word of God.

If Jesus did this, how much more important is it that we get the word of God in us and so we can use it as a weapon against the enemy?

We need the word of God in our lives on a daily basis.

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

It’s not just a coincidence that those who spend the most time in God’s word usually have a stronger walk with God.

On a recent fishing trip, I was having a discussion of Biblical topics with one of the men on my boat. He made a statement that was interesting. He said that he did some studying of people who moved in the gift of healing and found that one of the strongest common threads among all of them was the amount of time they spent in the word of God.

We obviously shouldn’t spend time in the Word solely with an expectation of becoming a prophet, or to attain any other spiritual gift or office. But the fact that most of these people do spend large amounts of time in God’s word helps to prove the need for it in all of our lives.

God’s word builds our trust in Him, thereby giving us stronger faith. And this just makes us stronger each and every day in so many different ways.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-16-19

Psalm 119:130 (NKJV) 130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

God’s word is the most valuable thing we can have introduced into our lives.

His word is a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).

It is living and powerful (Hebrews 4:12).

His word gives life (Psalm 119:50).

His word cleanses us (Psalm 119:9).

If we keep it in our hearts, it keeps us from sinning (Psalm 119:11).

It revives us (Psalm 119:25).

It strengthens us when we are weak (Psalm 119:28).

His word brings us salvation (Psalm 119:41).

It’s safe to say that we need God’s word hidden in our hearts. Without it we will struggle through each day, trying to find our way.

With it, we grow stronger, bolder, more courageous, more righteous, kinder and more compassionate.

But here’s the key that unlocks all of this; we have to read it!

God’s word can only help us if we get it in us, where it changes us from the inside, out.

Be sure that we are taking time to feed on His word each and every day. We will never regret it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-29-19

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Sometimes we tend to overcomplicate things, especially when it comes to the things of God.

What’s worse is that we seem to do this to an even larger degree when it comes to our personal walk with Him.

We over-spiritualize. We overthink. We try so hard to put all of the pieces together. And it is seemingly a daunting task that boggles our minds.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. God isn’t as complicated as we make Him. Our relationship with Him isn’t hard. We just make it that way.

How do we break through the aura that’s been so mystically attached to all of this? How do we simplify our relationship with God and get past the mysterious nature that we perceive is there?

We use the tool that God has provided us with; His word.

God’s word is there for us every minute of the day, to shine light into dark places, illuminate our path, teach us how to love the unlovable, heal our broken heart, deliver us from evil, bring life where there is death, strengthen our weak spirits, and so very much more.

Best of all, His word teaches us how to love Him!

As we spend time in His word, we learn more and more about our Father, our Creator. We learn of His mercy, His grace, His compassion and His love for us.

And as we get to know Him more, we can’t help but fall more and more in love with Him.
