Bible Verse of The Day – 2-13-20

Matthew 14:29-30 (NKJV) 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

Are we looking at things all wrong?

When we face hard times, we can’t look at it as “poor me. I’m all done and washed up. I’m going to lose everything. I’ve failed”.

We have to change the way we see things. Why do we get scared when an opportunity comes and we need Christ to help us? Is it because we don’t like not knowing how it will all play out?

Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water. Now, think about that. Who walks on water? It’s an impossible thing to do, because as soon as you step out onto it, you sink. Gravity pulls you down Immediately.

But with Jesus, He makes what is known to be impossible, to become possible through our faith in Him.

We all have that chance to step out of the boat from time to time.

When we are faced with hard and impossible situations, it is a great opportunity to see where we stand in our faith. It’s a great opportunity for God to help us and show us how He can make the impossible be possible.

If we are facing an impossible situation, there may be a step we need to take, just like Peter. And then we need to hold our faith after we do it.

Don’t start analyzing things, or we will lose it.

Keep our eyes and ears on Christ. He will help us through it all the way if our faith is in Him and we follow.

Take this opportunity and enjoy seeing the impossible become possible! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-10-19

Job 19:25 (NKJV) 25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; 

Job was in the midst of misery. 

His skin was diseased. His family was gone. His friends had deserted him. Even his wife insulted him. 

As Job penned the words above, he was writing down all of his sorrows and making an account of all who despised him or who had left him. 

His life was in shambles. He had been struck with boils all over his body. He had lost his children and all of his livestock. Nobody expected him to live through the ordeal. 

But even as he wrote down all of his calamities, he penned those words, “I know that my Redeemer lives”. 

What a testament to Job’s faith! 

Many years ago, God showed me that despite so many people always talking about the patience of Job, it was his faith that was greater. And it was that faith that allowed him to be patient in his affliction and endure his terrible situation without giving up and cursing God. 

Let’s have the faith of Job, even as we endure afflictions, looking to our Redeemer, who lives!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-18

James 1:2-3 (NKJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 

One of the things that many of us do when we’re going through trials is to ask God to remove the trial. We all do this from time to time. 

And while it is understandable that we would ask for this, it’s important that we understand what we’re asking for. 

Nobody likes trials. They hurt. They wear us out. They leave scars. 

But during those times of trial there are so many things we can learn! And during those trying times, God can teach us so many things if we will just allow Him to. 

God can use the bad things that happen and bring good out of them. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that He removes the trial or turns the bad thing into something good. He just teaches us lessons as we walk through them. 

So, whatever trial we might be facing right now, instead of doing what we always do and just asking God to bring the trial to a sudden end, let’s ask God what it is that we can learn from it as we walk through it. 

And while we’re learning, we can watch God move on our behalf.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-16

Job 19:25 (NKJV) 25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;

Job went through some serious stuff! His entire life was turned upside down in less than 24 hours.

During that short period of time, he lost his children and all of his earthly possessions. The only thing he had left was his wife and a few friends. And even his wife and friends were no help to him as he went through his trials.

But despite the severe trials that Job faced and went through, he never lost his faith in God.

We always hear about the patience of Job, which is somewhat true. But even more than patience, Job had strong faith. Had he not had strong faith, he would have turned his back on God and walked away.

But even after everything he went through, Job could boldly say “I know that my Redeemer lives”.

Let Job be an example for all of us to follow in our own lives.
