Bible Verse of The Day – 9-26-23

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Those minds or thoughts, creative imaginations, plans and ideas that are firmly founded on Jesus Christ, will be in such perfect peace.

We can have ideas of our own and then we can have His plan. The plan that was made just for us. Which will we choose?

Ours or His?

If we chose our plan and trust in our means. That’s what we will have. If we chose to walk with Him and hold on dearly to His ways and make it our way of life that trust is like no other. It is deeply engraved.

When we get in deep with Him, we don’t ever want to go back to the way things were. We may get scared at times, and might think we want to go back, but when we come right down to it, most times, we will continue to push forward in His plan. And be grateful later for doing it the way He says to.

Perfect peace is found when we are where we should be and all we want is to stay on that road with Him. We’re not chasing hype. We’re not chasing things that make us feel good about ourselves. We’re not riding the wave that everyone else is on.

We choose peace, we let it guide us by trusting Him with whatever comes our way.

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-20-23

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Peace is sometimes hard to find. We look for it in things or people we trust.

We frequently fail to find it.

Why?

Because we are looking to things in the natural world to satisfy our minds; our human understanding.

Perfect peace is even harder to find if we are looking to those same natural sources.

There is one true Source for perfect peace; the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

As we watch the world turn upside down it can be difficult to rest our minds.

We see the turmoil and it causes our minds to take off on wild journeys, wondering about all the “what ifs”, considering the endless possibilities for gloom and disaster.

And as long as we leave God out of the equation, that list of possibilities will be truly unlimited.

But we need to be clear about something. God does not work based on the “what if” principle.

He is the God of absolutes.

And it is in Him that we find perfect peace; the peace quells our anxieties, calms our fears, and brings rest to our minds. It is His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

People of God, it is not for us to trust in the institutions of the world. It is not for us to find solace in the things of the natural world. It is not for us to look to people or things to bring us peace during times of trouble.

Let us trust in Him, staying our minds on Him, where we will find perfect peace.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-22-22

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV) 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

If we are going through a time or season of change, and we are not sure what the outcome is going to look like, just remember the words above and keep our eyes on God.

Have faith that He will help us each day and it will come about accordingly, in His time.

If we continue to try and find peace in anything other than Him, we will exhaust ourselves and miss out on a lot of wonderful things.

It’s in Him, who makes it all beautiful, that we will find perfect peace. We will find stability once again when we trust Him with the change we’re facing.

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

Growing up, I found peace and stability in my home, my family, my friends and my surroundings. But, guess what!

There comes a day when that changes. And then what?

I have tried to find it over and over again in things and people, only to learn that I would be looking forever.

Why? Because nothing ever stays the same. Even the things I found stability in would change again eventually.

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

There’s only One who is the same yesterday, today and always. That is my Lord God!

It is in Him where we will find everything beautiful, stable, loving, and fulfilling. Amen.

If you are searching for peace in your life once again, learn to secure it in Him alone. Everything changes from time to time and if we don’t change with it, we will be stuck in a rut and missing out on the beauty of life through Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-11-20

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Are you broken today?

Have you been through something and you are grasping for anything to make your heart beat again? Something that will take the pain away?  Anything that will make you smile again, or at least give you a sense a peace?

These recent days have been tough for a lot of people. It hasn’t been easy with the abrupt changes around the world. Not knowing when we might ever feel right again is frightening, tiring and stressful.

Life has changed deeply for some. For others, maybe not as badly, but we are feeling different than normal, waiting for something to bring some kind of relief from the hardship we are battling.

Searching for a quick fix is not the answer we need today. No one can give us a quick fix when we need to heal or fix an ongoing problem. So, please don’t get discouraged if you are still unsure of how things will be as we move forward.

We want you to know one thing for sure that will hopefully give us all a little peace of heart and mind. God is here. He has not left us. He is forever going to be here for us, no matter what, as long as we draw near to Him.

Some may grow hard from their experience, depending on how hard the hit is. Some will be saddened and a bit discouraged, while others will say, “I am not going down without a fight”, and then they get so tired and burnt out that not only will they go down, but they will not get back up.

We are not going to give you a quick fix type of answer today. We are going to give you God’s word.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Let’s stay close, be strong and courageous and let Him fix our brokenness over time. He will not leave us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-6-20

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.”

Peace can be hard to find sometimes, especially if we look for it in the wrong places.

There are many things that bring us anything but peace.

It could come from our jobs, our finances, our health, and a lengthy list of other things that vary from one person to another.

Sometimes the situations we face may seem too big to overcome. These kinds of things can cause us to lose hope if we’re not careful to keep our eyes on God.

As we focus on the problem, instead of focusing on God and what He says, it grows bigger and bigger in our eyes. This is just our perception, though, and the enemy can use this to cause us to feel desperate.

We need to tell our minds to be quiet and we need to seek God’s wisdom in the midst of our trials. He will never steer us wrong.

His word is a light to us in dark times. And there is no situation too big for Him to help us overcome.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-25-20

John 14:27 (NKJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

As we have walked through the last week or two, this verse can really speak to us.

Most of us go from day to day with no major fears to dominate our thoughts or our cares. Yes, we each have troubles of one kind or another, but most of them are less than major or life-altering.

As we have watched the recent scare due to the virus that has made its way around most of the globe, it has been a good time to reflect on a lot of things.

On a personal level, I have mourned the state of humanity, as I have watched the vast majority of people become veritable monsters, as they hoard supplies with no concern or regard for fellow human beings, leaving those who are considerate of others with empty hands as they have sought after the necessities of life, such as food, common household and medical supplies.

It is this kind of behavior that confirms the fact that the world, by and large, has rejected God, and therefore has no peace and no respect for God or any kind of earthly authority.

As we follow our Savior from day to day, it is times like these when we begin to examine ourselves and see where we draw our strength and our peace from. The way we handle ourselves in circumstances like this will show us a lot about ourselves.

Where does our trust lie? Where do we get our peace of mind from? Who gives us what we need when the world fails us?

These are some pretty deep questions. And if we’re honest with our answers, they can be pretty sobering, at the very least.

But as we ponder on these things, let’s remember that there is One we draw our strength and peace from. He will never, ever let us down.

And I am persuaded that He is able to sustain me and keep me, through all things, even when my natural eyes, my mind and the world around me might try to tell me otherwise.

2 Timothy 1:12 (NKJV) 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-19

John 14:27 (NKJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility, restfulness, lack of anxiety.

The world pursues peace. We hear about it literally every day on a global level.

Individuals pursue peace on a personal level. We all desire peace in one way or another.

And yet peace seems to elude most who seek it. Why? Because most of us look for it in the wrong places or by the wrong means.

True, lasting peace only comes from one Source; Jesus Christ.

When we commune with God, we become one with Him. His spirit gives us peace of mind. But it gives so much more.

God gives us freedom, through Christ; release from the things that try to weigh us down and keep us in bondage.

Think about it. The world has removed God from just about everything they can remove Him from. They’ve kicked Him out. And yet they still seek peace, to no avail.

Church, we have the key to peace; Jesus.

It’s up to us to share this peace with others. We do this by living it out on a daily basis, loving people, demonstrating His peace in our everyday lives, even when the world seems like it’s falling apart.

There is much to be said for being a walking, talking testimony of His love, which brings a peace that surpasses understanding!

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-15

Matthew 11:29 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Jesus was meek, gentle and humble.

And yet He was powerful in everything He said and did.

Why? Because He acted by the Holy Spirit, not by His emotions. Everything He did was purposeful and with meaning.

Yet, even with the power that He exhibited, He didn’t cause stress for those who listened to and understood His words.

For those who chose to embrace Jesus and put their faith in Him, there was peace in their souls. They found rest, no matter what was happening around them.

Today, over 2,000 years later, Jesus offers us that same peace and rest.

If our faith and trust is in Him, it doesn’t matter what’s happening in our lives, or in the world around us. There can be chaos all around, but our spirits can have peace. We just need to train our minds to be still when they want to explode.

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

No, this isn’t always easy to understand. But as we learn of Him and begin to understand Him better, peace and rest will become the norm in our lives. And emotional chaos will become a thing of the past.

Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him. And your life will never be the same 🙂
