Bible Verse of The Day – 5-25-22

Matthew 7:24-25 (NKJV) 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

We often hear this verse quoted because it refers to building on the rock, not on sand or other easily-destroyed foundations.

Today, let’s look at this from the opposite angle and see what we can glean from it.

Building on a strong foundation is important. But why is that?

Why is it so important that we have a strong foundation under us?

Because we will face storms.

Look at what Jesus said as He spoke to the masses: the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house.

So, that tells us beyond a doubt that storms will come.

Jesus didn’t tell us this to scare us, but to warn us so that we could be wise in our choices and decisions and prepare for the storms of life by building on the one true foundation; God.

Storms do come. It’s a fact of life that we will never be able to change. Are we prepared for them?

That’s the question we need to be asking ourselves.

Let us heed His advice and build on the Rock, so we will not be easily tossed about or devastated when the storms do come.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-9-21

Mark 4:39 (NKJV) 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

If you are struggling today, we pray in unity with you, for peace over your storm, in Jesus’ name.

Sometimes all it takes is for us to follow Jesus and the example He gave us all.

How many times do we try so hard to get things right? We work at trying to do the best we can and try to get things to turn around. But we end up with the same result.

We wrestle with which changes to make and what steps to take. And even after all the different things we try, we are still facing the same issues.

Sometimes it is nothing that we are doing wrong. It’s simply the storm that is passing through.

Many times, when a storm hits, it will leave a mess behind as it departs. And this mess require us to clean it up.

What storm is trying to hold us back today?

Let us take a step right now and rebuke these storms, speaking to them as Jesus did, saying, “peace, be still”.

May it cease and may you see a great calm come over your situation and the things you have been dealing with.

We are standing in agreement with you today. And together we shall see the calm.

Matthew 18:20 (NKJV) 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-19

Romans 5:3 (NKJV) 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance…

How many of us are tired today, feeling like we cannot do one more thing? Or are we just about ready to throw in the towel and say, “I’m done”?

At times we can all relate to this. But, the most important thing is to remember that, if we don’t give in to our emotions, our tiredness and whatever else is causing us to feel the way we do, we will push through this and come out standing!

It’s those times of affliction, trials, suffering, hardship, tragedy and trauma that produce perseverance, if we don’t give up.

Are we going to let our feelings affect this moment that needs us to get up and press on?

It’s time for us to get serious and know that we are not alone. That we are strong with God’s Spirit in us. That we can and will press on and persevere, even when we feel down.

Don’t let this take us out. It’s not over for us.

God knows what we are dealing with…don’t let the fear of it cripple us.

Deuteronomy 3:22 (NKJV) 22 You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-26-17

Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) 6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change…

Life and everything about it is always changing. Things don’t stay the same for very long.

It doesn’t matter if it’s family situations, jobs, politics, finances, or anything else that affects our lives. It all changes at some point, and will continue to do so as long as we live.

Sometimes those changes are minor and we barely notice them. Other times the changes can be drastic, and they can really hit us hard. Sometimes they might make us feel like we’re about to get knocked off our feet.

But we want to encourage you and reassure you today that no matter what comes our way, no matter how unstable life might make us feel sometimes, there is one Constant that will never change, ever.

God never changes. He said so Himself. He is the Rock that will never fail or falter, no matter how bad things might look.

Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

So how do we have this stability? How do we feel secure in the midst of an ever-changing world?

Jesus summed it up quite nicely when He told us to not only hear His sayings, but to do them!

And when we do that, we are building our houses (our lives) upon the rock.

Matthew 7:24-25 (NKJV) 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
