Bible Verse of The Day – 5-27-23

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

One morning in my quiet time with the Lord, I said, “Lord I just want to please You”. And I got a quick response back from Him.

“You please me when I ask you to do something. And even though you don’t know why, or even understand it, you do it anyways by faith. It brings me great pleasure when you obey”.

What did Jesus’ Mother say to the servants at the wedding?

She said, “do whatever He tells you to do”.

John 2:5 (NKJV) 5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

We don’t do it doubtfully. We don’t do it wondering if it will work. We don’t even give a thought as to how it may turn out.

No.

We just do our part by faith, and He will complete the rest.

Are you asking God how you can please Him today?

Whatever He tells you to do, do it! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-23

Ephesians 2:1 (NKJV) 1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

This is such an incredible statement; “you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins”.

The enormity of what is being said there is way too easy for us to skim right over and miss.

You He made alive.

Who?

Us; those who were dead in trespasses and sins.

Ponder on that for a moment or two. Think of the gravity of that statement.

We were dead under the weight and consequences of our own sins.

Dead.

Not alive. But dead. Not living.

Merely existing, but without life inside of us.

We were hollow, empty shells.

But God breathed life into our spirit when we embraced Christ and the sacrifice He made for us.

And we became alive. Alive in Christ!

It was then that our life began. It was then that we were born of the spirit, not of the flesh or human desire.

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.

And because of that that we now live, made alive despite our trespasses and sins!

Amen. Thank you, Father, for new life in Christ!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-25-23

Matthew 1:23 (NKJV) 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

A virgin shall be with child…meditate on that one part of the verse for a moment.

Do you find everything in you saying, “Wow!”?

Can we even try to comprehend it with our minds? My head hurts when I think of this.

Even the little that we can comprehend shows us how incredibly mighty our Creator is.

He took a virgin and caused her to conceive a child by the Holy Spirit. Simply miraculous!

I get touched by this every time I read it.

God had a plan to save us, to be with us and to help us have eternal life with Him. He wants us to be with Him forever.

If you are feeling lonely, unloved, uncared for, abused, hurt, angry and like no one cares, this is going to help you if you will let it!

It’s so deep, but yet so simple. His plan was to save each one of us. Why? Because of His love toward us.

Immanuel, God with us!

God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, Savior of this world!

Praise Him today with everything in us. He is worthy.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-24-23

Matthew 10:33 (NKJV) 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

We recently received a text message from an unidentified person whose text message said only this: “I Don’t acknowledge you Jesus Christ”.

That text message saddened me, and it got me pondering on some things.

As I was pondering on it over the course of several days, here is what the Holy Spirit told me in a matter of just a few seconds yesterday.

We can deny Jesus, but that will never undo what He did for us.

His sacrifice still stands. And His blood that was shed will be no less powerful because of our denial.

The only loss suffered because of our denial is our own. We gain nothing and lose everything by denying the One who died for us.

We can deny Him, but God’s love for humanity will not be changed.

Why?

Because in Him there is no darkness. There is only light and truth. There is no danger of Him changing who He is. He never changes.

And although He may occasionally chasten His people, His love remains steadfast. And it’s because of His love that He does discipline us.

That discipline proves His love for us.

So, it behooves us to be careful of what we say, not letting our emotions overtake us and cause us to say something that we later wish we hadn’t said.

And remember what Jesus said; “whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father”.

This alone should be enough to keep us from denying Him. And if we have denied Him in a moment of anger or frustration, the best thing we can do is to immediately repent and sincerely ask God for His forgiveness.

Because He is steadfast, He will be faithful to do so.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-23-23

1 Corinthians 7:3 (NKJV) 3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

It’s so important to be affectionate with your spouse.

So many things can get in the way and cause us to neglect this area of our marriage if we’re not careful. But the consequences of neglecting this can be huge if we don’t get it under control.

As a couple, we need to make sure we are communicating when we need each other. Don’t put it off or wait for them to “KNOW” what we need.

Ask them to make time for us. Tell them exactly how we feel and what we need, when we need it.

If we wait or put it off, maybe because we think we are being silly or a bother to them, our spouse will never know. And this can cause us to grow angry and bitter towards them.

It can be very damaging.

Couples, keep your relationship strong and intimate no matter what you may be going through right now.

We will have busy seasons in our marriage. Those are the times we need each other the most. We need to stop our spouse in their tracks, sit them down and be affectionate with one another.

This does not rest just on the shoulders of one of you. It’s for both to work at.

It’s crucial that we pay attention to our spouse, or we can cause our own marital issues down the road. These are often issues that can destroy a love that was once very strong and intimate.

It’s never too late. You don’t get out of it that easy.

Instead of running away from each other and ending the marriage, run to each other and do your spousal duty by being affectionate!

That will close the gap on anything that may try to creep in and destroy your marriage.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-23

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God So Loved the World.

These are undoubtedly some of the best-known words from the entirety of the word of God!

They are well-known for good reason, since they point people to the fact that God’s love was so great that He made a way for every human being who embraces Christ as their savior to have eternal life.

This runs even deeper than that, though. Understanding this can bring even more meaning to this verse.

You see, no matter how messed up the world has become,

No matter how badly we have gotten off track,

No matter what may be coming against us,

No matter the level of spiritual warfare we are mired in, making us feel like we can never possibly win,

God so loved the world.

His love is enough to overcome anything we’re facing.

That love caused Him to send His Son to die in our place, to pay the price for our sins; yours and mine alike.

Never forget or make light of this fact.

Never let the darkness overshadow this reality.

God’s love for you and me is more than any of us can ever fully comprehend.

And that same love will carry us through every storm that we face in life.

So, remember these words; God So Loved the World.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-20-23

Psalm 28:7 (NKJV) 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.

Trust in the Lord and be helped!

Why do we worry? Because when we are in a state of fear, we forget the sequence of steps we are to take.

What are those steps we need to remember?

Trust, obey and be of good courage!

We all get caught up in our situations and we simply forget the Lord is our strength.

Our strength is not found in our flesh and it’s limited understanding, although our flesh will argue, for it truly desires to be the hero.

In the end it will not get us far.

If we want His help, and we want to come out victoriously, we need to trust God, not our own intellect.

Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding…

Anything in my life that has been awesome has been accomplished when I gave it to God. That means I reach a point where I say, “Lord I can’t do this, please HELP me”. And then I follow His direction.

Sometimes it has been very hard to follow the steps that He gave me, and I have even questioned what He has asked me to do at times.

But, if I just do it and don’t try to add to what He is saying or take away from what He is showing me to do, it is amazing in the end.

I later realize why He did what He did and the way He did it.

I can honestly rejoice today and shout out, “He is a good Helper!”.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) 6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-23

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

This is a verse that we often hear quoted. And we may even quote it ourselves from time to time.

But do we ever earnestly ponder on what it really means?

Do we understand the seriousness of this verse?

Let’s break it down so we get a better understanding of it.

In the very first line, we are told that without faith it is impossible to please God.

That’s a big deal!

Impossible: incapable of happening or occurring.

That might seem scary for some, since we might wrestle or struggle with doubt or unbelief from time to time.

But occasional or momentary unbelief will not condemn us if we work through it. We need to sort it out within ourselves and sincerely seek God, asking Him to help us in our unbelief.

Look at this example from the gospel of Mark.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

The father of a demon-possessed child had come to Jesus to seek help for his son. And as Jesus told him that he only needed to believe, the father confessed both, his belief and the fact that he struggled with unbelief.

Jesus saw his struggle and recognized his faith for what it was, and then healed his child of the demon who had tormented him from childhood.

This man had faith that Jesus could help. He sought Him out and requested His help.

That seeking showed his faith, despite his struggles to believe without wavering.

Even if we wrestle from time to time with believing, we are not cast away by God.

It is, however, impossible for one to please Him if they claim to believe, but they belligerently build a life based on a lack of faith and persistent unbelief.

For that person, it is impossible for them to please God. And that man should never think they will receive anything from God.

James 1:7-8 (NKJV) 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-23

Jeremiah 1:19 (NKJV) 19 They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

God’s plans for His people are good. His plans give us hope! He is with us and will deliver us.

There is nothing so big, so bad or so deeply rooted that He can’t fix.

So, what are we going to do?

We are going to stop talking about it and trust Him with it all! Amen.

We know that faith is the answer.

I remember one day, years ago, I was sitting in the hospital.

The doctor came out to let us know that my dad needed heart surgery. It was unexpected and very scary.

His heart was in bad condition.

He was 80, and all the years I had known him I had never seen him in this kind of frail position.

He was Dad; strong, smart and always there for us kids.

But now it had been turned around. We had to be strong, wise and there for him.

Words were hard for me to find. All I kept thinking was, “I need You God. please help!”.

Sometimes when we are dealing with deep or hard things, words are scarce. We just have to trust Him.

God says He is with you, and it’s in those types of moments you know it for sure! It becomes real.

Are you in that position today?

Do you need to believe that He will deliver you?

We live in a real world, with real problems. We need to be real with each other and with God.

He knows you have a lack of words right now. But it’s not always words He wants to hear. It’s our faith in Him that He wants to see.

Drop everything you are doing and ask Him to help your unbelief.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
