Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-24

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Every day is a good day to remember and thank God for how wonderful He is!

When we pray, God hears our cry.

We may not even remember sometimes what we asked for because most times we just move on from there with the busy lives we live.

He is faithful in answering our prayers. Isn’t it wonderful being able to pray and leave it with Him? He is the ONE we can trust with our cares.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

And that’s how it works when you have faith in God.

We know without a doubt that He will move on our behalf. He will answer our prayers, and things will be taken care of. Faith; it is what moves mountains!

The most important and responsible thing is to recognize His help and sincerely thank Him.

Giving Him glory for the good and wonderful God that He is!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-28-24

Psalm 9:1 (NKJV) 1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

Sometimes during our busy daily lives, we just need to be reminded of simpler things.

Learning of the mysteries of God is important. In fact, it is critical for us to know and understand these deeper things.

But simply praising God and expressing our gratitude to Him is equally important.

David had a special relationship with God, and he was not afraid to express his adoration for and his gratitude to Him.

As parents, we all know the satisfaction that comes when we hear our children say “thank you” or show their gratitude in some other way.

Our relationship with our heavenly Father is no different.

God is not a man, requiring the emotional affirmation of our words. But our praise pleases Him. And expressing it is good for us!

It is important for us to cast off the heaviness of the world, and the cares of our earthly lives. Expressing our praise and thanks to God is the perfect way to do that!

No matter what we may be facing today, no matter how heavy the burden may feel, let us shake off the weight of it as we praise Him, the One who created us, breathed life into our lungs, and gave our hearts the beat that keeps us alive.

Why? Because He alone is worthy!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-9-23

1 Corinthians 1:3 (NKJV) 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

This verse is our prayer over you all today.

You have been so very faithful in your giving of yourself through prayer, through financial help and through encouragement.

God is surely good to have blessed us with such kind and compassionate people like yourselves.

He is doing a great work, and we know you have grown and changed through His counsel.

You are strong. You are caring. You are diligent and you are steadfast. Your face is set like a flint, for you know He is your help.

Isaiah 50:7 (NKJV) 7 “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

Praise be to God. Let His grace and peace fill you and the place you are in right now, and know that He loves you and He sees your obedient heart.

God bless you this day. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-22 – Hand Picked

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the beautiful name of Jesus. 

Today’s post would normally contain a teaching video. This week, however, we weren’t able to record a video because we have both been laid up with a bad virus. 

Because of this, we didn’t have the time or the energy to record anything. 

So, we wanted to share a video that was recorded back in the early Summer while we were still trying to find our way and get settled into our new location. For some reason, it never got sent out. 

Today seemed like a good opportunity to finally share it, since it required no editing or production work. 

The video is literally less than 2 minutes long, but it expresses our hearts to you all. 

We hope each and every one of you will take the 2 minutes required to watch it and hear what it says. 

Please click to watch the video now. 

We love you all very much. 

Sincerely, 

Pastor Curt & Pastor Ellie

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-21

3 John 2 (NKJV) 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Today we want to take a minute and write to you, our family that God has blessed us with.

We are so grateful for you, and we know that God is using you in helping us do what He has called us to do.

Before we began this journey, God showed us that we would be taken care of.

It was a big faith step for us, and even though at times we were scared, we knew it was what God wanted. We knew He would help us.

But what we didn’t know, was how He would do it. Isn’t that the thing that always tries to play with our minds. The how?

In the beginning, we sometimes tried to put pieces together that our logical side would say to do. But we would soon find out it wasn’t what God wanted.

It may have been a great idea, but it wasn’t His plan. So, we would quickly eliminate the thought.

It’s funny how He only gives us bits and pieces of His plan. It may be to keep us trusting Him for the rest. Or it may be because we may not be able to understand or handle what He shows us at that moment in time.

Either way, He has always been there for us. And we have learned to find great comfort in Him as we’ve faced the unknown.

You are a big part of this journey, whether you know it or not. You have been here through thick and thin, with your financial support and your prayers.

Your words of encouragement have brought us to where we are today. We are just like you, trying to run the race and get to the finish line with victory.

Another lap, here we go!!

We are excited to see what God will do as we push ahead, deeper into 2021.

We take it one day at a time, thanking Him for His provision and for each of you.

Your work, your marriage, your children and your walk with Him are so important to us. We want you to be the head and not the tail in all that you put your hands to.

We love you dearly, our divine family. Be blessed this day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-6-21

Psalm 50:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High. 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

As I was going through chapter 50 of the book of Psalms, this particular pair of verses caught my attention.

It seems rather benign at first, but upon closer examination it is really pretty important to understand.

The very first word is “offer”, as we are told to offer God thanksgiving.

Most of us might initially think this simply means to thank God for what He does. But we need to understand that this is really referring to making a sacrifice of thanks to God, not just an off-the-cuff expression that has little meaning or sincerity.

You see, of all the things we can offer to God, a sacrifice of thanksgiving is one that never fails to please Him.

Next, we are told to “pay our vows” to Him.

What comes to mind when we read this will typically be the idea of paying something monetarily, such as our tithes and offerings.

While that is something that we should all do, this is actually referring to “keeping” our vows to God, not paying Him with money. Simply put, we follow through on the things we promise Him.

And then look at what He tells us in verse 15!

After we are told to offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and to keep the vows we make to Him, He tells us to call upon Him in our day of trouble.

And what will He do? He will deliver us!

So, as we are faithful to Him, He is mutually favorable toward us, declaring that He will deliver us in the day of trouble.

And, lastly, He tells us to glorify Him after He has rescued us from our trouble.

This is such a simple truth that we so often overlook in our lives. But the effects of carrying it out are more than worth the effort.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-20

Hebrews 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Hi Everyone…

We just wanted to say thank you so much for helping us to continue to reach the world with the message of Christ.

For some reason this season has been extra hard. And, at the same time, God is bringing us deeper with Him to show us how faithful He is.

In order to reach the lost where they are in life, it feels like we are right there with them. We can’t help if we don’t feel the pain, sorrow, loss and ache of what they are going through. It’s your help, through prayers and finances, that is making this less of a struggle.

Every day we are reminded of your labor of love toward us and helping us to do what we do. We truly cannot do it without you all.

Please know that God sees all that you do toward His name and he will not forget it. Keep going and don’t stop. When you help Seven Seas Ministries, you help all those that are being changed around the globe.

Thank you, thank you and thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. We love you and you are in our prayers daily.

Have a beautiful day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-20

1 Chronicles 16:34 (NKJV) 34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

There is so much to be thankful for, even in the midst of a storm, a change or uncertainties.

God is always right there to show us that He is aware of the situation.

Fear and anxiety can distract us from seeing His hand moving. If we are in the middle of it and can’t see what is happening, it’s OK. Look to Him. God can see it all. Follow Him, and He will lead us out. He is our strength and shield.

Many times, while going through this kind of dilemma we will miss the good stuff because we’re too focused on the bad. Let’s set out to see all that God wants to show us. Let our hearts trust Him.

Start off by thanking Him today. Thank Him for the things that we can see. For instance, a hot shower. These kinds of things are always so overlooked. But if we didn’t have water, we sure would be in a mess. How about that breakfast that filled our tummies, and a hot cup of tea, or coffee?

We may not even realize this with everything taking place, but what about that spouse, that friend, or that child that gave us a hug today and showed us how much they love us or appreciate us?

And when we go to leave our home, we get into a vehicle that starts up, that has fuel to take us where we need to go. The list could go on and on.

So much to be thankful for today!

One of the things that we are grateful for today is the fact that you all are praying for us, supporting and standing with us, even in a time like this, and even checking in to make sure we are alright. That means the world to us. Thank you so much. You really are God-sent.

He is so good. Don’t think for a moment He doesn’t have our best interest at heart. We are safe with Him.

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.

Sing to Him today!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-19

Colossians 1:3 (NKJV) 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you…

We want you to know how important you are to us.

God has brought you here, and we feel a great responsibility to pray for you and to teach you the things that God has put in our hearts and on our lips to share.

Many of you have told us that you don‘t even know how you found this ministry.

But that doesn’t matter. You are here and supporting the work that we have submitted ourselves to. And God is using you to keep it going.

Thank you so much for your obedience.

Thanksgiving Day here in the USA is a time for us to reflect on the things God has helped us through this year. One of those things was when our main computer system died, back in March. We took a hit that day.

But even though it was a direct hit on our main way of doing what we do, we knew it was not too big for God.

Calmly, we heard the voice of the Lord, “tell the people”.

We didn’t know why He would want us to do that. We were hesitant, because we know how hard life is for everyone and we didn’t want to put such a concern on anyone else. We felt it was our problem to deal with.

But God knew what would happen if we told you. He knew that you would hear the cry and answer us. And you did. Thank you so much.

You shocked us. We were able to get what we needed and we were back up and running pretty quickly. Oh, how good God is!

You all are amazing and we love you very much. We may not know you by face, but our hearts have been divinely connected by Almighty God.

So, as part of our Thanksgiving celebration this year, we will be thinking of you all and reflecting on how grateful we are that God has connected us. We are family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-5-19

1 Chronicles 16:34 (NKJV) 34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

Let’s find the good things today that we can give God thanks and glory for.

Maybe we have just been released from a rehab.

Maybe we are on our first day of giving up smoking, alcohol, over-eating, coffee, fits of anger, etc.

Maybe we are having a pain-free day.

Maybe we were able to pay our bills and buy groceries.

Maybe today is the day we are going to forgive someone that has hurt us.

All of these things, and many more that I have not listed here, can be so HARD at times to do. The flesh is a stickler for sure and is tempted to do the opposite of what is the right and good thing.

I thank God today that we are trying! If we fail, I still thank Him for the effort that was put forth. And that we have another chance, because tomorrow is a NEW day.

Don’t give up. Keep trying!

We love you very much and we are praying that we all get to where we need to be. Amen.

Colossians 1:3 (NKJV) 3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you…

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-22-19

Philippians 4:4 (NKJV) 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Rejoice! Praying and thanking God is what it is all about. He listens for our voice. He is omniscient, all-knowing!

When is the last time we gave Him thanks? When is the last time we took a few minutes to pray? It can be difficult in this day and age to remember to do these things on a daily basis. But it’s crucial and it means so much to God that we stop, thank Him and praise Him.

If we are a parent, we can understand what it is like to do things for our children and never hear or see the appreciation that we would like to see.

If we are married, we can understand how it feels when we never hear a thank you for all the things we continue to do for our spouse without even being asked.

If we have a friendship, we too know what it is like to always be the one to compromise and change our schedule to accommodate everyone else, but we never hear a thank you or an acknowledgement of what we did to keep the peace.

God feels the same way when we don’t see the things He is doing in our lives.

If we could share 3 words with you regarding rejoicing, they would be “keep it up”. You are making God’s day!
