Bible Verse of The Day – 9-20-18

Psalm 91:1-2 (NKJV) 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Dwell means to remain, to live or to direct attention to.

If we remain, live or direct our attention to God, the Most High, He promises we shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

If I could say it how I see it in just three words, I would say “We are SAFE!”. Everyone wants to be safe, right?

The key thing is remaining there. We can’t let ourselves get pulled out, distracted or too busy. We have to spend some quality Father time.

It doesn’t always have to be the same time every day, for the same number of minutes, hours, etc. But, we should be sure to make the time.

Are we arguing a lot in our marriage these days? Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

Are we struggling with work situations? Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

Are we lost in everyday life, confused and feeling like we’re never completing or accomplishing anything? Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

Are we living our life loosely, with no direction and no boundaries? Are we just carefree, doing what we want, not letting anyone tell us anything? If so, our life is probably pretty messed up. Get under the shadow of the Almighty.

God never gives up on us. He is our refuge. Get into that secret place.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-10-16

Matthew 19:21 (NKJV) 21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

Why did Jesus bring this up to the man that had great possessions? Because the man asked Jesus, “what do I lack?” (Matthew 19:20) You ask Jesus a question, He will give you the answer. After Jesus gave him His answer, the man walked away sorrowful.

Why? Because he lacked in his faith in the area of giving. Even though he had so many possessions, he wasn’t willing to give or obey in this area.

This man could sit there and say with confidence, he didn’t murder, he didn’t commit adultery, he didn’t steal, he didn’t bear false witness, he honored his parents, and he loved his neighbor (Matthew 19:18-19).

But when Jesus brought to his attention the very thing that he lacked, that very thing that would help him as well, what did the man do?  It says he turned away sorrowful (Matthew 19:22).

Some people just simply struggle with giving. They are willing to do everything else, but when it comes down to giving their MONEY or possessions, they simply will not let go.

Jesus does not want anything to have a hold on us. If we struggle with this today we need to make a statement and do the opposite; we need to give!

You see faith and works go together. If we say we have faith but will not step out in it and take action, where is faith in that?

James 2:20 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Today we believe God is speaking to some who struggle in this. You truly have a hard time in letting go and giving of your money or your possessions.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We don’t have to walk away sorrowful like this man did. That is just an example of what not to do.

We can do the right thing and obey, just as Jesus asked this man to do. Don’t make excuses. They won’t help us.

Follow Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, by stepping out and taking action.

Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV) 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Give.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-16

2 Chronicles 32:7 (NKJV) 7 “Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him.

Be strong and courageous!

We’re all facing something that’s daunting or intimidating. It could be a job interview, a financial crisis, a health problem, marital problems.

It doesn’t really matter what or who it is. The thought of it makes us flinch or shrink back a bit.

But we’re here today to tell you not to shrink back, and not to be afraid or dismayed. Why? Because we have the multitude of God on our side.

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

As a member of the body of Christ, we never walk alone. We have the Spirit of God as our Guide, living within us.

We have each other, fellow believers, to pray for us, encourage us and support us when we’re down.

And best of all, we have a Heavenly Father who owns the universe and everything beyond.

So let’s be bold, be strong and be courageous, in the name of Jesus, and face our adversities with confidence and strength, knowing that the God of the universe is on our side.

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-4-15

Psalm 91:1 (NKJV) 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

There is a “secret place”. It’s a place where we can hear God speak to us.

This isn’t necessarily a physical place. It could be. But it can also be a quiet time where we have no distractions.

Even if we’re not in a secret or secluded room, when we get peace, quiet and stillness, it allows us to hear God with no interruptions and no distractions.

Everyone wants to hear from God. It’s essential to building a strong relationship with Him. But so many times we’re so busy talking that we never leave quiet time to hear what He has to say.

Elijah wanted to hear from God. And he did hear. How did it happen? Not in thunder, not in a strong wind, not in fire or even in tremors of the earth. He heard God in a still small voice.

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

God wants us to be still and listen for Him. He wants us to hear Him. He wants us to be listening for Him at all times.

His voice brings peace, clarity, understanding, wisdom and revelation to our lives.
