Bible Verse of The Day – 2-13-25

John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

We may be living out our day-to-day life right now, never giving a thought to the fact that our life is finite.

But the day will come when we take our last breath. And in that moment, our spirit will either live on with Jesus, the true Light, or live on in hell, eternally separated from God.

There are only two places to go after this earthly life has ended.

This is fully dependent on the choice we make; we follow Christ or continue to live a life in darkness. It’s up to each individual.

John 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Anyone without Christ is walking in darkness.

If we don’t want to walk in darkness any longer, we must put our faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him, allowing Him to teach us His ways.

As we follow Him and obey His word, we can be sure we will have the Light of life living and moving through us each day, and eternal life after we pass from this life!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-12-25

John 9:6-7 (LSB) 6 When He had said this, He spat on the ground, made clay of the saliva, and rubbed the clay on his eyes, 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

When a person has lost their sight, or perhaps they have been born blind, they seek help to gain or regain their eyesight.

The man in the verses above was seen by Jesus and His disciples as they walked by. The Bible says he was blind from birth.

Jesus knew it was meant for Him to heal the blind man and give him his sight.

Jesus could have simply spoken a word or laid His hands on the man’s eyes to heal them.

But He chose to do something different than the expected norm.

Jesus spat on the ground, mixed his saliva with dirt, making mud. He then rubbed that mud on the blind man’s eyes.

Then, He instructed the blind man to go to the pool of Siloam and wash away the mud.

The man obeyed. And when he had washed, he was no longer blind. He had been healed!

No matter how we look at this, spitting in dirt and rubbing mud on the man’s eyes is not conventional, nor an expected way to heal someone.

But this is how Jesus chose to do it. The reasons He did so are irrelevant.

And this is how God moves; in the way He sees fit.

We may never know the reasons He chooses to move in these specific ways, but that is not for us to know or understand.

God may move a specific way for one situation. And then He may choose to move in a completely different way for a situation that appears to be very similar.

We should never box God in and demand or expect Him to do things the same way repeatedly.

On one occasion, He told Moses to strike a rock. And water gushed out. On another occasion, He instructed Moses to speak to the rock. Similar situations with different instructions.

It may not always be healing that we need. But regardless of the need, it pays to do as God shows us to do.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-11-25

Ephesians 4:15 (NKJV) 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

When we speak to others about Christ, it must be done with the same love that spoke to us. He draws them unto Himself.

Remember the first time we heard about Christ, and it touched us so deeply? We felt something we had never felt before.

As a child, it got me right up out of my seat and drew me to the altar. I knew I’d never felt that touch in my heart like I did that day.

It was compassion, love and truth all at once. It brought such satisfying comfort to me, even as young as I was. It quenched every bit of thirst in me. It was God drawing me to Himself.

John 12:32 (NKJV) 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

That same love will speak through us and tell people the truth that they need to hear in that moment.

Open up today and share His love with those He leads us to. Don’t be afraid to speak the truth in love.

God, bless our hearts with your presence, and let Your words of truth be loosed from our mouths through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-25

Psalm 71:5 (NKJV) 5 For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.

Hope.

It is a word we use daily.

I hope you are OK. I hope things work out. Let us hope for the best. That is my hope for you.

And while this implies wanting the best to happen, what is this hope founded on or rooted in?

Do we ever stop to think about this?

Hope expressed by the masses can be a simple emotion; a genuine desire that something goes the best way possible. It is well-meaning, but without a foundation to hold it up.

It can be encouraging, but does it produce fruit?

There is nothing necessarily wrong with this. But let us look a little more closely at what our hope is founded on as followers of Christ.

As children of God, we have a hope that is rooted and grounded. It is built on the one, true Foundation; God Himself.

We have a reason to express hope and hold onto that hope, primarily due to the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave.

This is an eternal hope; one that has implications for every life far beyond our time here on earth.

In God’s word, Peter wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that we are to rest our hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought at the revelation of Jesus Christ. There is nothing that sums it up more perfectly than this.

1 Peter 1:13 (NKJV) 13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

And, finally, Paul exhorts us to abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So, let our hope be genuine, and built solely on the foundation of our God, who alone gives hope that is true.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-8-25

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Do you feel drained? Are you running on empty?

Don’t keep going like this. You will crash. Stop before it’s too late.

We must bring ourselves to a point where we can find the rest we need.

Most times it’s just us accepting that we are tired, admitting that we need to slow down, and allowing ourselves the time we need to get that rest.

The three places where rest is needed are our body, our mind, and our spirit.

Once we reach a certain point, and we don’t get the proper rest, we can cause damage. We must take a break before we break.

We can never put our work ahead of taking care of ourselves.

We must watch for the signs.

Signs of tiredness or fatigue.

Signs of a constant negative outlook about everything.

Signs of no tolerance.

Signs of spending less time with God.

We need to see the signs and take the necessary steps to replenish ourselves. We need to get built up again, in the word and in prayer.

This is a reminder for us all today not to neglect ourselves; to come to Him and He will give us rest.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-25

Isaiah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

As we study the word of God, many times it can be critical to pay close attention to the smallest of details.

This verse is a perfect example of that.

This is not an earth-shattering doctrinal revelation, but a simple lesson in looking at things that may go unnoticed if we are not attentive or vigilant in our studies. Sometimes those subtle things can teach us valuable lessons.

Here, we will study the difference between saying, here I am, and here am I in the verse above.

If we are looking or calling out for someone we already know, and we have no knowledge of their exact whereabouts, we might simply ask, “where are you?” And that person would call out, “here I am!”

But if we are seeking a volunteer from among multiple people for a specific purpose or task, someone who is willing to take on that task would not say “here I am.”

They would likely say, “choose me, or pick me!”

Isaiah heard the voice of God asking, “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?”

Having a willing and obedient heart, Isaiah wanted to be chosen. He wanted to be God’s workman!

So, what did Isaiah say? Did he say, “here I am?”

No. He said, “here am I!”

This was not Isaiah saying, “I am right here.” It was Isaiah saying, “choose me, God. I want to fill this need. I want to be on Your team!”

Again, this is not a huge spiritual revelation. But it shows us the heart of Isaiah, and his willingness to be used by God for whatever the purpose might have been.

Isaiah did not ask God what the task was. He did not tell God that he would do it based on whether it was difficult or not.

He simply stated, “here am I. Send me. Use me for your purpose”

And God used him mightily, in ways that Isaiah never could have imagined.

Let us be like Isaiah, jumping up and down, waving our hands, and shouting, “here am I, God. Use me!”

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-6-25

Psalm 121:1-3 (NKJV) I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.

When things get difficult, and we have no answers, we must understand that, really, it’s OK.

We can’t let fear grip us. We can’t let discouragement creep in, and we can’t forget Who we belong to!

God is for us.

In these moments, we need to reach for His word, and take time to pray. We should pull back from activities and spend time drawing near to Him.

He will guide our steps, give us wisdom, and fill us with His strength to get through it.

As we go through life, we will face some things that can take our breath away. But we need to remember Who gave us that breath in the first place.

Genesis 2:7 (NKJV) 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

And just as we trust Him, He will deliver us.

He will not delay.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-5-25

Job 1:21 (LSB) 21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked I shall return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh.”

Sometimes we need a gentle reminder to help us put things in life into proper perspective.

The world we live in has a way of getting into our heads, playing games with our minds and our thinking.

And if we are not careful, we will fall into the mindset that tells us we must forfeit our lives in search of stuff; wealth and material things that are more than we need. And we work our lives away in that pursuit.

But as we mature, and we gain wisdom and understanding, we begin to see things in a different light. We begin to recognize the spinning of our wheels in pursuit of tangible things for what it is; chasing after the wind.

Yes, God wants to bless us. He wants us to have the necessities of life.

But a life spent with the primary goal of amassing wealth simply for the sake of having wealth is not what we are instructed to do.

Solomon had more wealth and material possessions than anyone before or after him.

And what did he say in the latter years of his life? It is all vanity and chasing after the wind.

This should be an eye-opener for us. We are no different than Solomon.

We are born, we live, and we die. We come into the world naked and empty-handed. We leave the same way; naked and empty-handed.

This would appear to be our lot as human beings.

But our relationship with Christ sets us apart from the world.

We have hope, not in the things of this world, but in Christ and the redemption He offers us through His shed blood.

Let us determine in our hearts to pursue Him relentlessly, placing Him and our relationship with Him high above all else in this life.

And as we do this, the other pieces of our lives will fall into place by God’s grace and His faithfulness.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-25

Esther 7:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Then Queen Esther answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. 4 For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss.”

Up until the point in the verses above, despite being the queen, the wife of the King, Esther had not revealed her people or her family to the King. Out of obedience to Mordecai, the man who had raised her, she was not to say anything.

Esther 2:10 (NKJV) 10 Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it.

She would never have told the King if it wasn’t for the plot that came against Mordecai and all the Jews.

This plot was being carried out by a man named Haman. Haman wanted to destroy all Jews throughout the kingdom of King Ahaseurus.

Word of this plot got to Queen Esther. And at this point in time, she needed to let the King know who she really was and what was being planned in order to destroy her people.

For the longest time, she had to keep it silent. But now, at this moment, she needed to speak it.

By revealing that she was a Jew, everything was turned around. The evil that was being perpetrated against the Jewish people through Haman was immediately null and void!

As she obeyed and waited for the perfect timing to reveal her identity, God’s people were preserved, and rescued from ruin.

Esther, the beautiful, orphaned Jewess, was brought in at this specific time to save her people!

You just never know how important our obedience to God is at times. The effect it may have on many others.

What is God asking of us today? Do we need to be silent, or do we need to speak up?

Are we going to be like Esther? Can He use us for such a time as this?

Obedience is the key for God to be able to use us at any given time.

Doing it His way is everything we need if we are to be victorious in what He asks us to do!

Psalm 18:30 (NKJV) 30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-3-25

Psalm 52:1 (NKJV) 1 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.

The true goodness of God is unfathomable, and immeasurable!

Many times, we lose sight of His goodness. This is especially true if we have been through a season that has been tough.

Sadness and frustration can work against us and cause us to see only the bad things if we are not careful to allow the Holy Spirit to guide and temper our thoughts.

But God’s goodness does not waiver. And it should never be judged by the bad things we endure in life.

Jesus told us that trials and tribulations would come. But He also told us to be of good cheer, because He had overcome the world!

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

As we navigate the things that life throws at us, let us always keep God at the forefront of our hearts and minds, remembering that His goodness never falters or changes.

As we trust in Him and look to Him for our help and our solace, He is faithful to deliver.
