Bible Verse of The Day – 3-28-24

Psalm 46:1 (KJV) 1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to run to God to get help in my lifetime; to get answers, or some guidance. So many times, and I still do.

He has a way of settling us down.

When we are up in the air about something, His peace will give us rest.

His steadfast strength just fills us when we bask in His presence. Oh, how He will calm our nerves. He surely knows how to care for His child.

What a refuge He is for us all. He is sound, reliable, trustworthy and a continual help!

There are days when fear and exhaustion will overtake us, and we will want to lay ourselves down and stay there. He will be there at that moment to stand us up by His strength. He will save us.

Isaiah 35:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. 4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”

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 – 8-18-21

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 may be in short supply for some, as we all face various trials and tests.

Sometimes it may even feel hard to catch your breath.

We are here to tell you today that the peace you seek lies in one source; God Himself.

No person and no physical thing can give you the peace that God can give us.

To some this may sound cliché. To others it may sound like religious babble.

But it is, in fact, cold, hard truth.

For those of us who have walked through many difficult times that have been thrown at us by life, if we have held fast to God, we can testify to the fact that there is no peace like the peace of God.

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.

So, if your life is upside down and you’re struggling just to stay standing, hold fast to God.

Let Him hold you up and walk you through whatever you’re facing. Let Him put solid ground beneath your feet again. And let Him bring you out the other side with His victory.

Don’t bow to the enemy and let Him steal your joy. Bow, instead, before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And cling to Him.

Trials and tribulations will not claim victory in your life. Evil will not prevail.

Revelation 17:14 (NKJV) 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

So, if we’re “with Him”, we also cannot lose. We cannot be defeated.

Lift your eyes and fix them upon Him, the King of kings and Lord of lords. And let Him give you His peace.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-24-20

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

Do we suffer from anxiety? Do we wake up at night gasping for air, panicking over something that is weighing on our minds?

We’ve been there. It’s frustrating.

After struggling through a night of broken sleep, we do our best to go about our day and find some kind of peace. And then, out of nowhere, we’re reminded of our situation. Finding peace in that can be difficult.

But God’s peace surpasses all understanding. To surpass means to exceed; be greater than.

Sometimes when we are anxious or worried about something, we don’t want to hear about God’s peace. We want something done about the situation we are in. Peace is not what we think we need at that moment.

But, it is the very thing we need to have if we want to move forward and work things out.

We can not be moved by anxiety. We can not be moved by our fear. We can not be moved by a lack of understanding. We can not move forward without God’s peace.

The peace of God upon us will move us in the direction we need to go. It will guard our heart and mind and keep us on the right track.

God’s peace surpasses, or should we say, exceeds and is greater than all understanding.

Get God’s peace. Amen.

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 – 4-3-20

2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Peace and chaos.

Those two things can say a lot about who or what is in charge.

During recent weeks we have seen a lot of chaos.

Why? Because the world is largely Godless, rendering them helpless when they face a crisis.

When God is present, peace will always take precedence. Where He is uninvited, peace will be absent, and chaos will take precedence.

It’s important that we understand this even in our homes, where we are the holders of the keys, determining what gets let in and what gets shut out.

As we put God on the throne in our homes, we will see and feel God’s peace begin to permeate our home. It will be something that people will notice when they come in.

If we have pushed God out, or if we allow things to enter our homes that are not of God, chaos will be more likely to be present there.

And we see this happening in the world on a large scale recently. God has been kicked out. Peace has disappeared. Chaos takes precedence, running rampant across the globe.

Let’s be sure we are putting God first in our lives and in our homes, giving Him permission to rule and reign there, inviting His peace to dwell there and to permeate our entire home.

Kick out the enemy, sending him packing, taking his chaos with him as he leaves.

We have the right and the authority to do this, and we encourage you to do so.

It starts at home, and then let’s work to bring God’s peace with us, everywhere we go.

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 – 8-28-19

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.

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, is the key to a life that’s not constantly marred by stress and anxiety.

Once we begin to get this peace, we will begin to see our lives change in many ways.

But, the key to this is reaching a point where we live in this peace. How does that happen?

It’s all about trusting God. You see, as we learn to trust God more, we will begin to have more and more of this peace in our lives.

This is something that takes time and effort to make happen. It isn’t the result of someone praying over us, laying hands on us or prophesying it over us.

It takes a deliberate effort on our part. The funny thing, though, is that this effort can’t be directed at obtaining this peace. It has to be aimed at building our relationship with God.

Our relationship with God is the foundation of every other aspect of being His child. The strength of that relationship dictates how every other part of our lives plays out.

So, it’s critical that we make the effort and spend the time to build and keep our relationship strong. When that happens, our trust in God will grow. As our trust grows, anxiety, worry and stress gradually fade away into the background.

Spend time in His word. Make a deliberate effort to pray often, being sure not only to talk to God but also to listen to Him. Do what He directs you to do. And watch your life change as the peace of God permeates it.
