Bible Verse of The Day – 7-28-14

(Psalm 20:6-7 NKJV)  Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. {7} Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Prayer should be the way of life for every believer. It is the most important time of our day, every day. We go to God for anything and everything, not just when we are in trouble. Not just when someone we know is in trouble. We go to God for anything at all, talk to Him and listen for Him.

When trouble comes our way, we don’t run to our family, friends or anyone else first; we go to God. We wait on Him for His answer; He will show us how to get out of the trouble we are in. Then we simply trust Him to lead us and we take the steps He shows us to take.

We don’t take things into our own hands, and try to fix it or figure it out without Him. We wait on Him.

(Isaiah 40:31 NKJV)  But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-11-14

(Psalm 25:5 NKJV)  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

Waiting can be hard to do at times, especially if it takes a while to get our answer.

Sometimes I think I cannot wait one more minute. But God, in all His grace and mercy, understands me and still loves me. I don’t know how, but He puts up with me and continues to lead me and teach me.

Wait on God today. He is our salvation!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-30-14

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

How do we get strengthened? By waiting on the Lord and being of good courage.

Some of us are having a hard time waiting, and God is saying today “Wait on ME!!”

The worst thing we can do is try to make a move on our own, when God is saying to wait. God is faithful to let us know when.

How? By His Spirit. The Holy Spirit will help lead us. We don’t have to worry about missing it. If we stay close to God we will know.

Even though at times we may feel like we are going to cave in, we can’t let the pressure get to us. The enemy likes to put pressure on us and he will try to use anyone, and anything to do so.

How do we get rid of the enemy?

(James 4:7 NKJV) Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

How do we resist the devil? By rebuking him in the name of Jesus Christ, and proclaiming God’s word over us.

(Deuteronomy 28:13 NKJV)  “And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Praise be to God, we are strengthened as we wait on Him! We are the head and not the tail, we are above and not beneath, as we follow Him!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-25-13

(Psalm 37:3-4 NKJV)  Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Are we putting our trust in the LORD today? Are we waiting on Him or are we jumping ship?

Maybe we’re waiting on an answer from Him and it isn’t coming quick enough? Are we afraid this ship is going to sink if something doesn’t happen quickly?

He will not let our ship sink! One of our dear friends once told us, “the Captain is on the bridge!” So we need to give Him a chance to come through for us.

If we jump ship every time we get scared, we will never get to experience that.

We need to let Him do what He has to do; some things take a little time.  We need to hold out, dwell in the land and FEED on His faithfulness.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-18-13

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles,they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Are we waiting on the Lord today for some things to change in our situation? Are we waiting for Him to restore our marriage? Are we waiting for Him to help save our backsliding friend or family member, or maybe we are waiting for a financial breakthrough, a new job, or for someone to treat us right, etc.?

As long as we are waiting on the Lord for His answer or for His change, and we remain open to how and when He wants to do it, WE shall WIN! Amen

Today, if you are waiting on the Lord… you will be Strong. You will mount up with wings as eagles, you will RUN and not be weary, You will WALK and not faint!

Go forward in Christ today, do what He tells you to do and be STRONG with renewed strength.

Bible Verse of The Day

(Deuteronomy 7:22 NKJV)  “And the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you little by little; you will be unable to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

God gave the Israelites a plan; it would be “little by little” that they would destroy the enemy. There was a reason why God did it this way, to protect them from the beasts of the field becoming too numerous for them to handle.

We have to know God’s plan, and just as He had a reason why He did it little by little, there are times it will be the same for us. Just because things seem to be taking a bit longer than we anticipated, it does not mean that we are not reaching our goal or receiving an answer. And it doesn’t mean that we won’t get the victory in our battle.

Don’t get me wrong… I have had times in my life where I felt like nothing was happening at all and things were too quiet. But we have to remember “little by little” is OK with God!! He has His reasons why.

Let God’s plan work for you. Let Him take all the time He wants when helping us win the battle.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-13

(Isaiah 41:10 NKJV)  Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

This is a beautiful reminder that we are not alone.

So often we can read something like this but yet still not grasp that this is Almighty God speaking to us and encouraging us to not give up, to not back down and to not give in.

There is a lot of pressure these days with all the crazy stuff going on in the atmosphere around us, but we are not without help. God is with us to help us get through, so we don’t cave in.

Fear likes to grasp our hearts and minds when there are things coming against us, but we need to say no to fear, rebuking this spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Let His words be written on our hearts that we may be able to pull from them and stand strong in knowing that He is faithful!!

Have a great weekend and no worries… it will all work out fine as we fear not!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-13

(Isaiah 40:31 NKJV)  But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

The past few months have been a big waiting period for my husband and me. I have to admit that at times I feel like I can’t wait one more itty bitty second or I will faint. But, I do. I wait a little more in the hopes that something will change.

I am telling you… it’s not easy to wait. It’s not easy to sit back and be patient. But I’m also telling you that if we do, God promises us we will mount up with wings like eagles. We will run and not be weary; and we will walk and not faint!

“Keep going” is the word for today!! If it’s in waiting, keep waiting. If it’s in running, then keep running. If it’s in being silent, keep quiet, and if it’s in speaking out, then shout it from the house tops!! Amen!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-29-13

(Psalm 86:3 NKJV)  Be merciful to me, O Lord, For I cry to You all day long.

Do we ever feel like David felt at times? Like all we do is cry out to God for we are in such need?

Are we in a desperate place and need help immediately?  I think we all have those moments; the moment of not knowing how it will all turn out and how long it will take.

It’s OK to have these moments and to cry out to God. He is there for us.

Let this be our prayer today, for all those that are in need and scared.

Dear God,

Be merciful to us, O Lord, For we cry to You all day long. Help us in our desperate situation, we ask, in Jesus Name, Amen!

We are not alone. Be blessed.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-20-13

(Numbers 11:23 NKJV)  And the LORD said to Moses, “Has the Lord’s arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not.”

Are we asking God this same question today? Where are you, God? Has Your arm been shortened?

Have you been in your situation so long that you are beginning to wonder about this?

When we are having good times, of course everything is good. We are confident we are heading down the right road and we are doing the right things.

When trouble comes, and it takes a bit to figure things out…it’s different. It causes us to take a look at ourselves and make changes, if needed. We take the time and ask ourselves are we doing the right things or have we strayed in the wrong direction. Did we make a wrong turn somewhere? What?

This is all good; we should check ourselves. We should be accountable for our actions. If we went off track a bit, God wants us to get back on track. He will be more than happy to help us get back on.

Sometimes we may even feel like He is nowhere around; it seems quiet. At times it can seem so quiet that we think nothing’s happening. We may feel that we have gone too far or done too much wrong to even expect Him to want to help us.

We may even feel He has left us alone to fix things ourselves. That is just not true! That is a lie and we all know where lying voices come from.

No matter how far away we have strayed from the right path, God’s arm has not been shortened. As we repent and truly want to receive His help, His arm will reach down and pick us up right where we are at.

Today, know this; that God’s arm is not too short to reach us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-13-13

(Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV)  Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; {6} In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Trust in the Lord. These are words that we are learning to live by more and more each day.

We have been going through some trials the past several months and they are causing us to really check ourselves and see where our trust really lies.

We have been in a period of waiting that seems endless. If we were not trusting in God, we just might lose all hope.

But I stand today and proclaim boldly that we will trust in the Lord with all of our heart, and we will seek His understanding in all things.

We will shout from the mountaintops and from the valley, “God, we praise you in the midst of this storm and we worship you no matter what comes our way”.

Amen!
