Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-17

Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV) 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Sometimes people do things that just make us shake our heads. Some of these things are subtle, while others are blatantly illegal or, at the very least, very questionable.

On a smaller scale, the day to day choices we make can have lasting results and consequences. Sometimes we know up front that something is wrong, and we do it anyway. Other times we just make a bad choice.

Either way, the choices we make will follow us around and it can take a long time for them to get resolved or fade away into our past.

God has made a way for us to avoid making poor choices and reaping from those choices.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

You see, if we truly want to do right, to please God, we will think before we do anything. And we will let God speak to us and show us the right choice. And then we will listen and heed His promptings.

It may not always be easy. And sometimes we may wrestle with it. But as we learn to lean on Him, trust the Holy Spirit, and then follow His leading, it will get easier and easier.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but when we let God lead us, we will learn right from wrong. And we will choose right.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-6-17

Proverbs 3:6 (NKJV) 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

One thing that I’ve had to learn over the years about being a believer is that when God wants us to be a part of something that we are not very enthused about, it’s hard to say no, because it will keep eating away at us.

Sometimes the things we don’t want to be a part of are the very things that are going to help us learn and grow.

It’s not always the easiest thing to do, but if we can learn to just accept the things He puts in front of us we will be more at peace than if we were to say no, and buck it.

God knows what we all need in our lives in certain seasons. And if we let Him direct our path, we will not only come out stronger and wiser, but we will be even more humble as well. These are good qualities to have.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-17

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

How many times do we feel we are not good enough or we are not worth anything at all? How many times do we feel that we could never do what others do? That we are never going to be anything important in life.

Well, today God wants you to know that you have already done wonderful things in your life. That you have already taken steps that maybe no one knows but Him. And those steps that you took you took when you were scared.

You had no idea what you were doing but felt with everything in you that you needed to do it, and you trusted Him with the rest.

God sees you through perfect, loving eyes and you are wonderful to Him! You are more than a conqueror through Him!

God bless you and keep going!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-17

John 9:6-7 (NKJV) 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing

Sometimes there are certain steps we need to take to receive the healing or deliverance for our particular situation.

This man that was blind from birth was healed through Jesus spitting in the dirt and making clay, then anointing his eyes with it. The blind man then had to go to the place where Jesus told Him to go and wash it off. These were steps that needed to be taken by Jesus and by the blind man.

Are we giving up on receiving a miracle because we are afraid to take certain steps? Afraid of what people around us may think? Afraid of the outcome of it all?

Do we think Jesus worried or was the least bit concerned what people were thinking when He took two fish and the five loaves, feeding 5000 people and having 12 baskets left over?

I mean, think about it. Logic says it’s not possible. Logic says HOW? If we let logic dominate, it can and will say NO WAY, and talk us right out of the steps we need to take.

Matthew 14:18-21 (NKJV)18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus stepped out and said no way to logic and YES to His FATHER in Heaven, who showed Him all things to do.

Some of us need to stop letting logic hold us back. God has a plan, and we need to be open to the things He is showing us to do, and let Him flow. Don’t let fear and logic stop us from letting God work through us.

Step out of the logic realm and follow His lead. He is faithful.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-17

John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

As a believer, our decisions should be based on what we have learned through His word. In doing so, we learn to follow, obey and apply His truth to our everyday living, instead of doing something simply because we want to. His words will echo in our hearts.

This is all part of following Him and it takes a lifetime to learn. It doesn’t happen over night, so we shouldn’t give up if we are not getting it just right. We don’t just reach a point in our life and say, “there, I know how to handle it all!”. It is an ongoing process.

Most times we are fighting our own flesh. We are trying to stop it from doing the wrong things. That’s right, our own flesh.

We might say, “so and so is doing this and getting away with it. Why can’t we just do half of what they are doing?”.

We cannot look at what others are doing and try to “get away with it”. We need to stay focused on what we know is right and follow through with that each day.

Keeping this old flesh in line with God’s word is a job in and of itself. But we do have a Helper, the Holy Spirit. And we need His strength, wisdom and discipline to keep us following the right path.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We love that He thought of us and sent us a Helper. We need Him more than we know. Ask the Holy Spirit for help today, that we may be reminded of the words of our Lord.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-16

Proverbs 19:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel – that will stand.

The Lord’s counsel. This tells us that God’s willing and wanting to counsel us. He will instruct us.

He didn’t leave us to live this life on our own. He’s available to us at anytime that we may seek Him and get answers so that we will make wise decisions, wise moves, so that our life will be fruitful. That we will be the HEAD and not the tail.

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Being the head and not the tail does not mean we will avoid life’s problems and trials. It simply means that we will be able to come through them and stand up to them, with God’s help, wisdom and direction when things do hit.

Being the head does not happen automatically just because we are His children. No, it doesn’t. It happens when we HEED God, meaning when we listen and obey; When we hear what He is saying to us and do the things He wants us to do at that moment in time.

If we have planned our life out for ourselves and we’re not quite sure if it is God’s plan, it’s a good time to bring it to God and seek Him for clarity.

He is faithful to give us counsel and wisdom to help us. It’s never too late, and it’s not over until it’s over.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-25-16

Exodus 4:19 (NKJV) 19 Now the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”

It’s funny how God will sometimes pull us out of something, only to bring us back in at another time.

We have to know that God knows man’s heart, their plans and agendas. Sometimes He may have to do a work in that person or situation and He needs us to be out of the picture for a while, for whatever reason.

It’s not up to us to question Him. It’s up to us to listen and follow, even when we don’t understand it.

Maybe down the road when things have worked their way out, and change has come, the time may come when it is safe for us to go back around.

In this case, Moses’ enemies had all died and it was now safe for him to return.

God knows the heart of man. He knows the agenda that may lie within them and He doesn’t want us to get hurt. He wants us safe and protected.

Remember that He knows better than we do in everything. Let Him direct us in and out of positions, places and situations.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-29-16

Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV) 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Sometimes our heads have a hard time getting out of the way and letting God lead us.

There are ways that just make sense to us. Our intellect says we should do certain things a certain way. It just seems right.

But when we let God’s spirit talk to us, and we heed His instructions, we end up doing things that just don’t make a lot of sense to our minds.

And if we choose to follow our heads, instead of following God’s leading, it can lead to some disastrous results.

It’s so very important that we follow God’s leading, instead of diving into something head first that will end up harming us.

And when we follow God’s way, instead of ours, we will have peace with the choices that we make, even when it might not seem right to our logical 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 – 11-14-15

Luke 5:5 (NKJV) 5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

Simon explained to Jesus what he had already done, and how he got nothing in his attempt.

But notice that even in Simon’s understanding of what happened, he still followed Jesus’ word and did what Jesus told Him to do. This is key.

We may not always understand why or what Jesus may be asking of us at times. But as long as we let Him lead, we will continue to see Him move, even in our lack of understanding.

Don’t give up on what Jesus is telling us to do today. His words are solid and transforming. You may need a healing today. Your business may need a breakthrough. Your marriage may need restoring. Your spouse may need salvation. Your children may need healing, or you may need deliverance from addictions.

If Simon said, “I already did what You are asking me to do last night, it’s a waste of my time”, and he did not heed the voice of Jesus and act upon it, he would have missed out on a huge blessing.

Luke 5:6 (NKJV) 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

We are believing that as you take that step of faith, and you listen and do what Jesus is speaking to your heart today, your blessing will come.

Do what Simon did, pushing aside his own understanding of what he had already experienced and listening to what Jesus was saying.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-13-15

Proverbs 19:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

We may have thoughts and ideas of our own as to what we need to do at certain times. But we need to always remember to pray about it and ask God to confirm those ideas, making sure it is His will and plan for us.

Just because some things look, feel and sound good doesn’t necessarily mean it’s God’s plan.

Know that at times we may wrestle with the things that God would have us to do. It may not always be what we want to be doing, or the way we would like to be doing it.

This is normal, but if we submit to the Spirit, we will truly walk in His will for us and be blessed!

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-8-15

Hebrews 3:15 (NKJV) 15 while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

There can be times when we know exactly what God wants us to do, but because it’s not what we want or we don’t like the timing He has for us, we can tend to ignore Him.

Ignoring what God is speaking to our hearts is just the same as rebellion. We are simply saying “we hear you God, but we really don’t want to go there or down that route. We don’t like Your plan.”

We have all been here at one time or another.

To get to the point of listening to God and hearing His voice takes being aware that He is with us at all times. He doesn’t have to leave our side to go help someone else, or leave someone else to come and help us.

So, if we are lost, He will help us find our place. He is Omnipresent, meaning He is everywhere at the same time. He is aware of EVERYTHING.

He has good plans for us.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

It’s never too late to begin to listen to God. He has hope and a future for us. Hear His voice today.
