Bible Verse of the Day – 4-12-22

John 4:16-18 16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

This verse always intrigues me, because I know that Jesus knew she didn’t have a husband. But He asked her to go call him.

It’s like He gave her the perfect opportunity to tell the truth.

And praise God she didn’t try to hide it or lie about it. She didn’t know Jesus, and she could have easily lied. But instead, she shared her personal information with Him.

It’s important not to be in denial with Jesus about our lifestyle if we are doing things that are wrong.

We need to be able to see it and admit it or confess it. And speaking it out of our own mouth, for some reason, brings it home.

Is Jesus reading our mail today, asking us a personal question regarding our own situation?

Are we continuing in some sort of sin, and it’s time to see it for what it is and straighten things out?

Is it our opportune time to speak truth about what we are doing? Is it our time to own it and deal with it?

Let us not be in denial, trying to make excuses. We can’t hide it from Him any longer.

Let’s speak truthfully about it and let Jesus help us find deliverance and live a righteous life. He is willing.

Psalm 40:13 (NKJV) 13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-30-21

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We need to be sure to take the time each day to get with the Lord. One, to confess our sins before Him and, two, to praise Him for forgiving us and cleansing us from all our junk.

We can’t forget to get ourselves straight before Him.

The works of this world will take our minds off the important things in life; those things that matter most to God. As Solomon would say, they are all vanity and grasping for the wind.

Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NKJV) 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

We, as believers, must stay open to confession at all times. There is a constant battle within us. That battle is flesh against Spirit.

Our flesh will push us to no end, and if we let it, we will love what it is doing.

But, the Spirit will be there to convict us to stop and get ourselves right back on track.

It can be exhausting at times. But remember that as we confess, He is faithful to forgive us.

If we have gone a while without spending time and getting straight with Him, take this day and make things right. Take the time we need, and don’t let it linger.

That is the only way we will feel at peace, lightened and less burdened; by opening up, being honest, and confessing before Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-12-21

Proverbs 28:13 (NKJV) 13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

We all sin.

It’s good that we let God teach us and transform us so we sin less and less over time.

But the fact is that we all still do stupid stuff sometimes.

And when we do, what does God tell us to do about it? He tells us to confess it and forsake it.

He wants us to go to Him, confess what we have done and then turn from it (repent), not falling into it over and over again.

And what does He say He will do? He will show us mercy.

You see, if we are truly repentant, we will want to stop doing that thing that keeps us distant from God.

We will want to do the right (righteous) thing, proving our love for God.

The worst thing we can do is to try to cover our sins.

Trying to cover them only makes things worse for us. The weight of those covered sins just keeps growing and growing, getting heavier over time until it can become unbearable.

We can liken it to carrying a backpack on our backs. Each covered (unconfessed) sin is like a rock that gets placed into the backpack. Each time we sin and fail to confess it and repent, another rock gets tossed into the pack.

You can see how, over time, that backpack can get pretty heavy!

It’s time to empty our backpacks. Go to God directly and confess them. And then repent (turn away from them), so we can receive His mercy!

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
