Bible Verse of The Day – 1-13-24

Psalm 62:1 (NKJV) 1 Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.

You are not alone.

Wait, and then wait some more. Wait for however long it takes. He will show up.

His answer will come. His way of deliverance will show up for you. It will find you, if you silently wait, as David did, trusting Him and Him alone.

There are times we all feel like it’s taking too long, but let us not react to those feelings.

Push them down and go forward by waiting, keeping still, and praising Him. For His answer will be worth every bit of it.

He has saved us once; He will save us again. Don’t let go of His promise to you. Don’t throw it away. Don’t give up.

He’s got our back. Hold onto Him with everything in us. Know that He is faithful!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-3-23

Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

God will put us where we need to be right when He wants to use us.

Maybe today you are struggling with finding a new job. You are feeling like your workplace is getting old and stale, and you want something new.

Maybe you need a higher salary. Maybe you want a new title. But for some reason it is not happening; it’s taking way too long.

Maybe you are desiring something that is not at all related to a job. We all have different needs.

Why is it taking so long?

Maybe, just maybe, God may need you right where you are.

Maybe, just maybe, as you begin to give it your all and you are passionate about what you are doing, He will open your eyes to see His thoughts regarding your situation.

For instance, why are you in the place you are?  And how can He use you in a great way, right there?

Maybe your desire or the change you’re seeking will come after you have surrendered and have begun to be content right where He has you?

Don’t be depressed or dismayed if it is taking longer than you thought it would.

Try and look at it from a different point of view.

Sometimes God needs you to be there. This may be why no doors are opening and no change is coming to your situation.

We must be willing and obedient to do whatever it takes to press in and stay the course. He will take care of the rest of your concerns as you obey Him with a heart of gratitude.

Someone today is struggling with this right now; we are praying with you. We know it’s not easy, but it is in His control.

As you surrender, you will watch it all unfold.

Our way isn’t necessarily His way.

It’s important for us to be thankful that He protects us and keeps us on the path that is better for us. He goes before us.

Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV) 8 And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-22 – The Promise and The Plan

Please click to watch the video nowGreetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

How many of us like to have to wait? 

Not many! 

In today’s video, The Promise and The Plan, we teach on the importance of why Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem. 

We also talk about how this applies to our own lives. 

Waiting is probably one of the things that we have the most trouble with, so we hope you’ll take a few minutes and give this a watch.

We love you all! 

Enjoy your day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-22

Lamentations 3:25 (NKJV) 25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.

No matter what we face in our lives, if we hold tightly to God and stay close to Him, waiting on Him patiently, He will be good to us.

We need to understand that we play a big part in our walk with God and our relationship with Him.

We don’t just hide in the shadows and wait for Him to show up and do something for us.

We don’t just sit by His table, waiting for crumbs to fall so we can eat those crumbs.

We need to actively seek Him each and every day. We need to draw near to Him, so He will draw near to us. And we need to wait on Him in a way that shows that we trust Him, not fidgeting and fretting, as though He isn’t faithful or able to help us.

Trusting Him is the biggest thing we can learn to do, ever.

Seek Him, trust Him and wait for Him. And He will be good to us.

We hope you enjoy it and that it brings some understanding to this aspect of walking with God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-3-21

Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Wait!

That’s a word most of us learned to dislike as children. Kids don’t like to wait for anything. That’s quite apparent in the loud screams, cries and temper tantrums displayed by a child who has been told by their parents, “no, not now”.

You know; kicking, screaming, yelling at the top of their lungs in front of everyone in an effort to try to get their way and not have to wait. We’ve all seen it!

But you see, God wants us to wait on Him. Not because He’s cynical or has bad intentions. And not even to watch us throw a tantrum (even though some of us may do that at times). But because He knows us better than we know ourselves. And He knows what’s best for us, even when we might think otherwise.

Sometimes we have no choice but to wait. Some things are just out of our control. It’s not about whether we wait. It’s about how we wait.

In the verse above, the word used for “wait” indicates waiting with patient excitement and anticipation; trusting God in faith, not with doubts and a long face or a temper tantrum.

And what else does it say? Be of good courage (brave)!

And if we do that, He will strengthen our heart, giving us the fortitude (bravery, courage) that we may lack naturally. But the bravery He gives us will be supernatural. Not weak or wimpy or feigned.

Join me in waiting on God with expectant and patient faith, courage and bravery, as He sets in motion the very things that orchestrate the paths of our lives.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-27-20

1 Kings 18:1 (NKJV) 1 And it came to pass after many days that the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth.”

This verse contains a very short piece that’s often overlooked when we read it. Let’s take a look at it!

As we start off, we see that there was a period of “many days” where Elijah waited to hear from God. No big deal, right?

Well, if we look a little further, we will see that the “many days” was actually three years.

“In the third year” tells us that three years had passed while Elijah waited on God. Two other verses later on tell us that it was actually 3 years and 6 months.

Three and a half years!

How many of us have had periods of time where God seemed to be silent? We hear nothing, and it begins to bother us.

Many people wonder why this happens. Why does God “go silent”?

The more important question, though, would be “what do we do when God is silent?”. How do we handle it? How do we react to it?

Do we wait patiently, or do we fret, worry and stress over it?

Every one of us has probably had periods where we were waiting to hear from God and it seemed like He might never answer us or we might never hear from Him again.

But, in time, God speaks again and we begin to get our answers.

We may or may not get understanding as to why it took longer than we had hoped for or expected. But at least we’re hearing from God again!

Elijah waited on God. The Bible isn’t very clear on how he acted during that time. But Elijah being a man of strong faith would seemingly indicate that he did so without fretting and worrying.

God never leaves us. So, when those silent periods come, we just need to know that He is faithful, and no matter what it might look like to our natural eyes, He never abandons us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-20

Genesis 41:1 (NKJV) 1 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.

We have likely all been told, or have read about, the story of Joseph, and the time that he spent in prison.

As we read through this story, though, we might not grasp the length of time he was actually in there before finally being freed and being appointed to a leadership position by Pharaoh.

In the verse above, 2 years is the period mentioned in reference to the time between when he interpreted dreams for two fellow prisoners, and the time he was finally released.

When Joseph had interpreted those dreams, he had asked the two men he had interpreted them for to mention him to Pharaoh, with the hope of being released from prison due to being there on false charges. Sadly, that never happened.

It was only when Pharaoh had dreams that troubled him that his cup bearer remembered Joseph in prison and mentioned him to Pharaoh. And so, Pharaoh called for Joseph to interpret his dreams.

When Joseph successfully interpreted those dreams by God’s spirit, Pharaoh had Joseph released from prison and gave him a high position in the palace, helping him to run the country. Only Pharaoh was above Joseph in the entire land of Egypt.

All told, Joseph spent somewhere in the vicinity of 12-13 years in prison, waiting for justice, waiting for his answer from God. Then came his victory.

Are we waiting for victory in a specific situation?

Do we have a loved one who has strayed? Do we have a health situation that we’re trusting God for? Are we praying for the salvation of someone we know?

How long is it taking? How many years or months have we been waiting for God’s answer to come?

Maybe it’s been a few months. Maybe it’s been a few years. Maybe it’s been even longer than that.

We’re here to tell you today not to give up!

We never know when we will receive our answer. The important thing to remember is that the answer will come.

We don’t know when. We don’t know how. And we don’t even know what the answer will be. But we have to trust that God will answer, in His timing.

Stand. Remain steadfast. Keep trusting.

He is faithful, even if He takes longer than we’d like Him to.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-17-20

Hebrews 6:15 (NKJV) 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Abraham was a great example for us to follow when it comes to waiting on God.

We all hate waiting… for anything.

Oh, we may say we can wait patiently. But when the rubber meets the road, and we are forced to wait for something, we can all get a little spoiled acting.

Sometimes we can get miserable. Other times we might get a bit testy with those around us, snapping at them without cause if they bother us even the least little bit.

Other times, we can throw some very good pity parties, feeling very sorry for ourselves as we are forced to endure a period of waiting before we get what was promised to us.

But, in the end, none of those things actually help us get what we want any more quickly. And sometimes, what we’re waiting for might take even longer because of the way we act. Ouch!

But look at what the verse above says. It says that after Abraham had patiently endured, he obtained the promise!

It wasn’t halfway through. It was after!

And he didn’t endure like a spoiled child, while throwing a temper tantrum. He waited patiently.

Not in spite of that, but because of that, he obtained the promise!

What a lesson we can all learn from this very short verse.

It’s probably safe to say that each and every one of us can learn something from this that we can apply to our lives as believers.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-20

Galatians 1:15-17 (NKJV) 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

Waiting on God, and understanding His timing, is probably one of the hardest things we can do as believers.

Our flesh almost always wants to act right away when we get understanding about something, or when we feel like we’re supposed to make a change. It’s just a natural reaction.

In the verses above, Paul talks about his conversion to Christianity, and what happened immediately afterward.

Most of us might think that Paul got knocked to the ground, met Jesus and then took off on his evangelistic journeys right away. This isn’t how it happened, though!

Immediately after his conversion, Paul was led to Damascus, and then spent three days waiting for Ananias to come and restore his sight. During that time, he neither ate nor drank.

Once Ananias came, and Paul’s sight was restored, he spent some time there with some of the other disciples, but then he left and wasn’t heard from again for 3 years!

During this time, Paul spent time in a wilderness area, being prepared for his ministry by God. It was only after this preparation period that he returned to Damascus, and then onward to Jerusalem, where he met with Peter and other disciples, face to face, for the first time.

God was preparing Paul for a mighty work. It was something that Paul would do for the remainder of his life here on earth. And he took the time necessary to wait on God to release Him into that work.

This is a great lesson for all of us to learn from, especially when it comes to understanding God’s timing, and the importance of waiting on God.

There will be times in our lives when God shows us something, and we see results, or take action, right away.

Then, there will be other times when He reveals something to us, and He wants us to wait, not doing anything or saying anything to anybody about it until He releases us to do so.

This is a very hard thing for us. We don’t always understand it, and we also wrestle with waiting.

But as we grow in our walk with Him, and we begin to get understanding in certain areas, we will begin to see this more clearly. We will also develop a better understanding of the importance of waiting on Him, not moving or speaking until He says to do so.

If Paul could wait three years, it’s pretty safe to say that we can probably wait, too.
