Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-22

John 17:1 (NKJV) 1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You…

As the time for Jesus to be handed over and crucified drew near, He spent those final hours with His disciples, teaching them much about what was ahead for all of them.

As He finished this, He began praying. The two verses above are the beginning of that time of prayer.

During His life here on earth, it was uncommon for Jesus to ever do anything to bring glory to Himself. He was always careful to point everyone to the Father.

In the verse above, He asks the Father to glorify Him, which is unusual. But take note of why He prayed this; “that Your Son also may glorify You”.

You see, the glory that He was asking for was not selfish or self-serving. Its purpose was to bring glory to the Father, through what was about to take place.

He knew that His death was temporary, and that His resurrection would prove that He was the One sent by the Father to teach the people God’s ways.

None of what He did was about Himself. He came to serve, not to be served (Matthew 20:28).

Everything that Jesus did brought glory to the Father.

So, let His life be an example to us, that we might also be living examples to those around us, bringing glory to the Father through everything that we do.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-21-19

Lamentations 3:23 (NKJV) 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

Have you ever prayed someone through a serious situation, and when all is said and done, and they get the victory, they give praise to themselves for being strong, or they gloat because they made it through?

Can we imagine how God must feel? He moved things around for us, opened doors for us, made preparations, and took the time to personally touch our situation with His miraculous Hand. And when the time comes to glorify Him, to give Him thanks, and to lift up His mighty name, instead, we turn it around and make it look like it was our bravery that got us through.

We have got to give credit to the One who deserves it. We have got to give thanks to the One who has made it possible. He is the One that deserves our praise.

Great is His faithfulness! Amen.

He is always there for us. He is listening, waiting and wanting to help us. He knows our very situation and is willing to carry us through.

Give Him praise today. Thank Him and know that He is the One that will bring us to the finish line. Know that we can do nothing without Him. It’s His faithfulness!

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Let us abide in Him, giving Him the glory for the work done in and through us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-15-18

Psalm 92:4 (NKJV) 4 For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

How many of us today can testify of some pretty hard things we have gone through in our lives?

We may have had to go through it, and we were probably very scared at times. However, praise be to God, we triumphed over it through the works of God’s hands and we have moved on to better days! Amen.

Well, today someone else may be going through some pretty hard times, maybe even similar to what we have gone through. There are times that God will use our hardship experiences to share with others, to bring encouragement.

Are we willing to open up and share those memories, even though they were hard? Our greatest way to help others at times is to share the things God has brought us through.

It brings encouragement to others and brings glory to God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-16-18

John 4:24 (NKJV) 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Worshiping and praising God is something we need to be sure we are doing. He loves our worship!

He loves when we share His goodness with others, bringing glory and honor to Him. When we take time to look at His beauty all around us and praise Him for it.

If all we have today is a few minutes to eat our breakfast, lunch or dinner, take that few minutes to look around as we sit quietly to eat.

Notice the good things, whether it’s a picture of a loved one, or a card or note that someone left for you, to encourage you.

Maybe you have some flowers that a kind person sent you.

Or it may be none of these. Maybe we just look where we are sitting, in our home or place of work and know that wherever it is, God has brought us provision.

Maybe it’s the food we are eating that reminds us of how grateful we are that there is no lack. Maybe we see our children and they are playing or sitting quietly.

Look around and spot something that we can thank God for and give Him praise!

Worship Him today, for He is our God, our Provider. He is Everything!

We live in a world that was created by His Miraculous words and hands. Surely we can lift Him up today and worship Him for the God that He is!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-20-17

John 6:15 (NKJV) 15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

Jesus came for one reason; to serve.

During His time here on earth, Jesus never once demanded that anyone serve Him or hold Him up as royalty. Instead, He would always serve others. He proved this when He chose to wash the feet of the disciples right before He was arrested and taken away to be beaten and then crucified.

In John 6:15 Jesus had just fed a multitude of people in a very miraculous way. The people saw this and they had it in their hearts and minds to make Him their earthly king. They were determined to do this, even if it meant doing so forcibly.

But because Jesus knew His purpose here on earth, He quietly slipped away so He could be alone.

As always, Jesus set such an incredible example for us. Despite being God in the flesh, He humbled Himself and served those He encountered. He loved people, including us, in spite of faults and evil intentions.

There is no doubt that He had moments when He stood up and spoke boldly when it was needed. He had no problem separating black from white… evil from good. But He always chose to love above all things.

How about us? Do we choose to love and pull away to a quiet place if someone tries to exalt us? Or do we get caught up in it and bask in the glory for ourselves?

Humility is a hard thing sometimes. Pride can catch us off guard if we’re not careful.

But as we grow and mature as a believer, humility will overtake our pride. And we will soon be acting more and more like Jesus, shunning the spotlight and pulling away to spend time alone with our Father.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-15

1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV) 31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

In our day to day activities it can be very easy to forget to give God glory for the things He does in our lives.

If we were to watch ourselves and listen to the things we say, we will most likely find ourselves taking credit for a lot of what God deserves the credit for.

We probably don’t do this purposely, but we are guilty of doing it.

As children of the Most High God, we need to be careful that we’re not stealing His glory and letting people look upon us in a way that causes us to get credit for things He’s done in our lives.

There are two things that we can be guilty of stealing from God. His glory is one of them.

And when we do this, it can give us a big head… a dangerous ego that will lead to disastrous results later on down the road if we don’t fix it.

So let’s be sure to give credit where credit is due, and give God the glory in everything we do, pointing people to Him.

Enjoy your weekend and be blessed in Him.
