Bible Verse of The Day – 6-29-24

Colossians 1:3 (NKJV) 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you…

You are on our heart today.

We hope you know you are not alone. And that you know you are loved.

Know that even if you are feeling down, you have Who it takes to get you back up. God is on your side.

We may not be feeling like we are doing good. Maybe we have failed again. God sees your situation and He is willing to pick you back up if you will reach out your hand to Him.

We are standing in agreement today for God’s will to be done in your life.

The enemy wants you to stay down and wallow in your imperfections as he pummels your mind with guilt and doubt.

Reach out your hand and our Father will meet you right where you are today.

We are praying for better days ahead for you.

Have a blessed day in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-27-24

Isaiah 43:16 NKJV) 16 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters…

The Lord is saying, this is Me, the One who will make a way for you today!

How many of us are having a hard time?

Maybe things have changed and our situation is looking bleak.

This past year has taken its toll on us all.

We need a God-given path through the sea and the stormy waters. We need to get to the other side and leave it all behind, welcoming the fresh new start ahead.

We can relate. We feel your struggles and know the sorrow you’ve been through. It does feel good to know we are not alone on this journey.

Thus says the Lord; He makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters.

That is our word for you today!

What He says, He will do!

What is He saying to you, what promise has He given you?

Hold on, stand firm and don’t stop believing.

He will make a way!

Amen

Mark 11:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-16-23

John 18:26-27 (NKJV) 26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?” 27 Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.

I would not want to have been Peter when he heard that rooster crow.

I can’t even imagine what he must have felt in that moment.

Peter denied Jesus three times.

Three times he was asked if He was with Jesus. And each time, he denied knowing Him; the same disciple who told Jesus he would lay down his life for Him.

John 13:37 (NKJV) 37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.”

In his heart, he really meant what he had said to Jesus. But when push came to shove, he didn’t have what it took to do what he said he would.

I believe Peter’s eyes were opened, allowing him to see himself when he was faced with such situations as this one.

Maybe some of us have made sincere statements, and then we failed to keep them. It’s human frailty.

Our intentions are good. But to keep them or follow through with them it is a whole other story.

It shows us all that we need the help of the Holy Spirit. He will give us the strength and discipline we need to stay true to our word and our convictions when we are faced with difficult circumstances.

John 20:22 (NKJV) 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

Peter is an example for us, not so that we look down on him for his denial, but to learn and see that it can happen to any one of us. We can truly mean what we say, but our actions will show us what we are really made of.

The Holy Spirit will give us the power we need to overcome our own weaknesses and prevail in those circumstances when we would otherwise give in and deny the truth and all that we know to be right.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-9-22

Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Sometimes, even as believers, we may feel tired, alone and heavy-laden.

We hurt for those we care about, and many nights we find ourselves crying alone on our pillows for the things we see.

We cry for our loved ones. We cry for the suffering we see in the world. We cry for those that are so twisted in their thinking, and the damage it is causing. We cry because of what God sees in humanity as a whole.

The world is full of pain and sorrow.

Psalm 27:13 (NKJV) 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.

Although there is much to pray about, and so much to be concerned about, there is also a lot of the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

Stay focused on the good things, and pray for that which has gone sour. Be an encourager, and lift others by our words of love.

Don’t lose heart. Believe that God will turn things around! Amen.

He sees our ministering daily and does not forget our work and labor of love. He is faithful to see things through.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-22

Romans 1:16 (NKJV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

Who will stand up and say, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.”?

It’s time for us to make a statement more than we have ever done before. We must stand up!

We must say, no to manipulation; the voice of the enemy that sneaks in, not with a big bang or a “look at me” approach, but with a slow, steady and subtle manipulation attack.

The enemy is not going to come in and say, “hello, I’ve come to ruin your family, your marriage, your ministry, your financial situation”.

He will do it inch by inch, piece by piece. He will try and deceive us into thinking that nothing is wrong, desensitizing us so we don’t see what is really happening until it is deeply rooted, and deeply impacting our situation.

Take a stand for the gospel, in our home, in our relationships, in our work place and in our ministries. Don’t let the enemy come in, manipulating us. Shut him down by standing up for righteousness!

May the gospel of Jesus Christ be strong and noticeable in our walk. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-1-21

Nehemiah 6:1-4 (NKJV) 6 Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates), 2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they thought to do me harm. 3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?” 4 But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner.

Nehemiah was a warrior. He loved God and stood firm to serve Him, even in the face of extreme adversity.

As Nehemiah worked feverishly with others to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem, he was threatened numerous times by people who hated him and those who worked with him because of what they were doing. They wanted badly to see them fail and would go to great lengths to try to make that happen.

They tried everything they could think of to get them to stop; threats, physical attacks on them, and even so-called “diplomatic” meetings.

But take note of what Nehemiah did; he blew them off, knowing in his heart that they intended to harm him.

There are important lessons for us to learn in this.

The enemy will continually attack us, try to scare us, threaten us and taunt us in an effort to get us to cave in and back down from standing for God’s truth.

As Nehemiah did, we need to be sure to stand firm, even when it means taking hits and feeling extreme pressure.

It may not be comfortable or easy. But remember what Jesus did for us.

Ease and comfort were never promised for us when we chose to become a child of God.

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-21-21

Daniel 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

Daniel did not want to eat the delicacies, or drink the wine he had been supplied with, knowing that it was forbidden for the Jews to do so.

He knew it would defile him.

In light of this, he took a stand and asked his boss if he could prove that his diet was better.

He requested that he and his colleagues be allowed to eat their own food for 10 days. After the 10 days, let him judge their appearance and their health and make a final decision.

Sometimes we have to take a stand, like Daniel did, if something we are being told to do goes against what we believe to be good for us and our relationship with God.

God gave Daniel favor and goodwill with the chief of the eunuchs. And Daniel was able to prove his case.

Daniel 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.

What is it today that we are needing to stand up and say no to?

Are we on a job that is pushing us to do things against what we know is the right thing to do?

Are our kids in a place where we need to stand up and voice our opinion on a certain subject?

Do we need to take a stance and say no to things in our relationship that we know we should not be doing or going along with?

What is it today that God is saying, “stand up, be firm, don’t back down. I will give you favor and wisdom to know what to say and when to say it.”?

We have to purpose within our heart, like Daniel, to do the right thing and then stand.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-13-19

Colossians 3:23 (NKJV) 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men…

No matter where we stand today, in this moment of our life, if we do what we are doing as unto the Lord and not unto men, nothing that man tries to do to us will stop us. We will give it our all and not even look back.

This is a good reminder for those that are in a position where they simply can’t stand one more day of abuse under their supervisor, or any other type of authority. If we are feeling mistreated and we want to quit, remember what we do and Who we do it for. God will get us through this as we do our work unto Him.

There is no way we should to give up because someone is trying to beat us down, bad-mouth us, or make us look like trouble makers.

He will set us free in the right timing and in the right way. Stay steadfast until He releases us.

This is not easy for us to do, and can be very stressful at times. But know that as we continue to persevere, God is faithful to move on our behalf in His timing.

Hebrews 13:6 (NKJV) 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-7-18

2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV) 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

We are survivors, through Christ!

We don’t give up and we don’t give in. We live day to day and we fight the good fight.

Our minds may battle us at times, and sometimes it might get to the point where we just want to give in and do things the way our human understanding tells us to. But the voice that is strong within us keeps us walking on that straight and narrow path.

We are strong. We are moving forward. Satan is a loser and God has already won the battle!

Let us not grow weary in doing what is good. For in the end we will see it was all worth it.

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

We are ambassadors for Christ. We walk by faith and not by sight. Whatever battle we see in front of us now is not too hard for us to face. We need to put on God’s armor, stand firm on His words and His promises to us, and walk forward.

God is our Rock!

1 Samuel 2:2 (NKJV) 2 “No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.
