Bible Verse of The Day – 2-14-18

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

We hear God’s voice and we follow Him.

Where do we need to follow Him to today? Is He speaking to our hearts and asking us to change up some things? Maybe our language or our negative thoughts at times? Is He asking us to give up some things, like maybe television, certain things on the internet, or frivolous spending?

Is He asking us to step out in areas where we need to do something that will make a difference in our situation, for instance maybe tithing and the giving of our firstfruits to Him?

When God prompts us to do something, He doesn’t tell us to just take our time and ponder on it. And He doesn’t ask us to give Him a time frame as to when we will get around to it or fit it into our schedule.

There are no questions asked, and no negotiating. It is what it is and the terms are how God wants them to be. We, His sheep, are to hear it and to follow.

He will be sure to let us know when we need to make a change or a move, when we need to pull back, and when we need to be strong and press in. Don’t get too caught up in the details. Just follow what He puts in front of us.

Psalm 121:8 (NKJV) 8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

​​​​​​​Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-8-18

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. 

Many people ask how to know if they are following God’s plan for their life. It’s one of the most common questions we get. 

There are many different things we could say about this. But for today, let’s stick with the text of this particular verse. 

It says that the steps of a good man (person) are ordered by the Lord.  So, what does that tell you? Whose steps are ordered by the Lord? Those of a good man! 

So, based on this, we know that if we want to know God’s plan for our lives, and know that we are walking on the path He has chosen for us, we need to be “good”. 

What does God mean by good? Righteous. 

God orders the steps of a righteous man (or woman). It’s important to understand that there are two forms of righteousness. 

First, we are made righteous by the blood of Jesus. When we put our faith and trust in Jesus, His blood washes us and makes us clean. We instantly become righteous, by His blood. 

Second, we live righteously by following God’s word, applying it on a personal level and walking it out daily. 

It’s the second part that helps us to “find His path” and discern what the steps are that He has ordered for us. 

As we walk this out, we ultimately begin to walk in the steps God has ordered for us. And the funny part is that it tends to happen without us even realizing it. It’s gradual, a little at a time. 

And then one day we look back and we see where God has brought us from. And we begin to see and understand that the steps we took were not ours. They were His. 

And what’s better than this? The fact that God delights in our way! 

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-18

Romans 8:25 (NKJV) 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

Start this new year off by asking God for vision, to see the things that need to be changed in our lives, our homes, our finances, our work, or our ministry.

Lay it all out before Him, and then wait on Him.

God knows the things that need to be fixed, and He knows how to fix them. He knows what it will take and what will turn it around and make it work.

Write down the things He puts on our hearts and ask Him how to do it. Ask Him for the plan and the wisdom to do it. Let Him direct our steps.

God will place His vision within us and yes, it is fun and very exciting at times.

But we can’t think that once we have the vision that we can just pick up the ball and run with it on our own. That’s not how it works, and people that do this end up in a mess or in great failure.

Let Him work out the details and give us His strategy and timing. It may not come all at once, but in little pieces. Wait for it, moving one step at a time, and enjoy every moment of it.

God is precious, and the things He does for His children, He takes to heart.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-1-14

Luke 22:42 (NKJV) 42 saying, Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

Jesus’ prayer to the Father was “not My will, but Yours, be done”. Jesus humbled Himself under the Mighty Hand of His Father and obediently followed Him in every step. He was perfect in every way and did exactly what God had for Him to do.

There are going to be times when we will have to humble ourselves and do what God is asking us to do versus what we would rather be doing. It may be unfamiliar territory and very intimidating at times, doing what God asks.

Will we humble ourselves and do it anyway? This is a decision we will have to make. God will not force us to do things His way, but He will show us the right path to take and leave it up to us.

If we choose to follow His plan, trusting Him, He will be right there helping us, guiding us, encouraging us, comforting us, strengthening us, and providing for us. We won’t be alone.

When we follow God’s plan for our lives, we come out victorious!
