Category: Letting God Teach Us

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-17

Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV) 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Wow! I had to read this over and over one day to actually let it penetrate. I was feeling pretty upset about some things that were taking place. As I read this scripture, each time it got louder and louder. I could feel myself getting calmer and calmer as I let it sink in.

You see, unless we let God’s word speak to us, or penetrate into our very being, it can’t help us.

For instance, has anyone ever been speaking to us, and we are  looking right at them and nodding our heads like we are hearing them, but we miss what they are saying? We have NO clue what they just said. If they ever asked us to repeat it back, we would be in trouble and have to ask them, “wait, could you say that again?”.

That’s not listening. That’s thinking of what we want to do or say next and totally not hearing that person, just nodding away.

We can do this at times when we read God’s word. Or when listening to a preacher, priest or any type of minister. We can be nodding our heads, saying yes and amen, while all the time having other thoughts or agendas running through our head.

To hear what God is saying we need to shut out everything, including our own thoughts.

As I heard this go through my head and let it penetrate my heart, it helped me greatly. It calmed me right down and helped me to move on. These words, “be kind, tenderhearted and forgiving”, spoke to me very clearly and changed my attitude quickly.

How many of us feel STUCK today? That’s an awful feeling when we know freedom. Compared to the feeling of being free, feeling stuck sticks out like a sore thumb.

To change this stuck feeling, we must let God’s word penetrate. Maybe for you it’s not this verse. It may be something totally different. But listen, let it penetrate and help you at this time.

Psalm 46:1 (NKJV) 46 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

BIble Verse of The Day – 11-26-14

1 Corinthians 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

Everything that we do, say or think is going to either move us ahead, move us back or keep us standing still.

Whenever we open our mouth and say something good or do something good, it moves us forward in this race we run.

Whenever we say or do things wrong or make wrong decisions, it either moves us back or keeps us in the same place, for however long it takes us to do the right thing or make the adjustments that need to be made.

That’s the race we all run.

Some of us move ahead fast in some areas. But then there are those areas that we don’t want to fix things or change ourselves. Those are areas that push us back or keep us standing still.

If we want to get ahead and obtain that prize, we have to work on those areas where we don’t want to change.

We can’t be stubborn and ignore it. We have to face it, admit it and fix it. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-14

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

We are all works in progress. None of us is perfect, nor will we ever be.

It’s just part of being human.

This doesn’t mean, however, that God doesn’t want to be working in us to constantly improve us and make us more like Him.

We will trip and fall. We will get back up. And sometimes we will make the same mistakes several times before we get it right. But God can handle it. We just have to let Him.

So remember, as you go through your day today, if you mess up and say something you shouldn’t have said, or if you get angry when you should have stayed calm or if you make any other mistake, that God isn’t done with you yet.

But He that started a work in you is faithful to complete it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-13

(Isaiah 48:17 NKJV)  Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.

Do we feel like we are always struggling to make ends meet?

It can seem like we come up short every month and have to dip over into our savings or next month’s pay, causing us to be short that month, etc. Well, this way of living is clearly not profiting. This is a sign that we need to see and confess to God that we need help!

God’s Words are truth to our being and when we hear them we need to apply them in order for them to work in our lives. I heard this verse loud and clear. God wants to teach us and help us to profit.

God does not want us to just make ends meet. He wants us to go beyond that, but it will take one very important step; letting Him TEACH us.

What does it mean when someone teaches us? First off we have to realize that need to be taught in whatever area it is that we come up short. We need to submit ourselves and all that we knew how to do, and sit and listen to His ways of doing things.

The problem many of us have is that God will spend time teaching us how to make things right, and then once we are out of the problem we go back to our old ways. This is what causes us to get back into the place we once got out of and the cycle keeps going on and on.

When God teaches us to get out of something… financial debt problems, bad relationships, drug problems, etc., we can’t think that we can just pick things up where we left off after we have gotten out of it, fall back into the same bad habits, and then leave Him behind.

After He gets us out, He wants to teach us how to profit and go beyond what we could ever imagine. He wants to take us to different levels. This way, when He is done with us we will never want to go back to the way we were.
