Bible Verse of The Day – 10-13-23

Isaiah 48:17 (NKJV) 17 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.

He will teach us to profit.

To teach means to instruct or train.

It takes time to learn how to profit, but thank God if we follow His lead, He will show us the way. He is our Lord who teaches.

Many times I have gotten upset at myself for not doing certain things the way I should have. I have often found myself repeating, “If only I would have done it this way”, or “if only I would have done it that way”.

With God, though, He will lead us so that we don’t have to refer to the, “if onlys” as much.

I know it’s much easier said than done because we love to be able to do things without help. But, if we truly want to profit in this life, we need to let Him train us in this.

How many want to profit today?

Let Him teach us how. Let Him be our leader. let Him guide our steps. 

We need to say no to the desires within us that keep us repeating our mistakes, and give preference to being taught what is better for us.

Sometimes that very thing we desired was going to be the thing that would delay or distract us. God knows, and He will lead us to what will profit us rather then what will destroy us.

Let our Redeemer teach us the way we should go. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-6-23

Matthew 6:24 (NKJV) 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

If God is our master, He needs to come before anything else. That includes our finances; our money.

There are two questions we must get answered from God before we know for sure we are serving Him correctly with our money.

Where do You want me to sow and tithe Your 10% of my wages?

Where do You want me to invest any extra You may bring into my hands?

These questions we bring before God will get us started on the right path.

We will begin to see things change for us as we make Him master over our money and our lives.

It can be difficult for us to do this because we need to look to and lean on God for everything.

In this world we live in, we use money to supply ourselves with the essentials that we need.

The Holy Spirit helps to keep us balanced in these two areas, leaning on God for guidance and using our money the way He wants us to.

When our situation starts to change, we can’t allow ourselves to accidentally start putting our confidence back into what we have instead of WHO we have!

If we put God before everything and everyone, we will find that perfect balance in our walk.  All our needs will be met, while we have a wonderful relationship with Him.

Living in obedience with our finances will cause us to be confident, not in our money, but in Him and His guidance, His love and His stability for us. Amen.

Ask God today to help us make Him master over everything we own.

We will be surprised how He will bless us in all the areas we surrender to Him.

And we will find ourself in a place we’ve always wanted to be in, but knew we could not get to on our own.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-19

Malachi 3:10 (NKJV) 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.

Is our money spent before we even cash our check? Are we just buying things on the spur of the moment, things that we don’t need? Are we dining out more then we dine at home?

Watching what we spend our money on and taking the time to invest it into a good place will help us to be the head and not the tail. God is willing to do His part, but are we willing to step up to the plate and do ours? He can only work with what we give Him.

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.

We may not even think about God when it comes to our money. We just keep on doing what we’ve always done and leave Him out of the equation. And we find ourselves constantly in the same boat; never ahead.

God wants to help us. He wants to open for us the windows of heaven and pour out blessings.

We challenge you today, if you are not already giving to God from your firstfruits, start by setting a date and begin to put Him first on your list of expenses. Watch how things begin to change for you.

We are not saying it will happen instantly. It may or may not. But, as you are faithful and obedient with your money, you will at some point begin to see His favor working in your life. You will notice at times looking at your situation and wondering how it ever worked out the way it did. Well, that’s God!

God is good. Invest in Him. He is trustworthy and a safe place to deposit into.

Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-14-18

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Many of us are asking God for a financial breakthrough. It seems to be the biggest thing that most of us ask Him for.

Sometimes we ask because there is a genuine need. Other times, not so much. We ask because we want something more than we need that particular something.

Either way, though, we ask and we wait expectantly.

Many times, after we have asked, we wait and we wait. And we wait some more. And it can sometimes seem like our petition is falling on deaf ears. The “breakthrough” doesn’t come. Our prayer goes unanswered.

Or does it?

In reality, here’s what happens many times. We ask God for a blessing or breakthrough, usually with a specific sum of money in mind. Then we watch and wait for that sum to show up.

Maybe we’re looking for a check of unknown origin to show up in the mail. Maybe we look for a raise or a bonus at work.

Whatever it is that we look for, we always seem to attach some type of mysterious aura to it. We expect it to be a large lump sum of money that just appears out of nowhere.

And, while we’re waiting, money comes in and goes back out. It passes through our hands without us giving it a second thought. Why? Because it doesn’t match that figure that we have stuck in our heads.

Sadly, as we watch that money come and go, we fail to recognize that much of it could very well be little pieces of the blessing that we have asked God for. We just fail to recognize it as such because it isn’t coming in a large lump sum in the exact amount we asked for.

Instead, we see smaller amounts over a period of time. They don’t catch our attention because of their size.

And, if we’re not careful, we squander it on things other than what God intended it for because of the failure to recognize it.

It’s incredibly important that we learn to recognize the blessings of God, even when they don’t show up wrapped in the package we were expecting. Failure to do so means missing out on so many of His blessings.

So, if we are asking God for something, whether a financial blessing or any other kind of blessing, we need to be vigilant and discerning to recognize the things that God sends our way, and then diligent to handle them in the way He wants us to.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-20-17

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

There is no rest when we find ourselves struggling from day to day with finances. It can pull on our relationship with God, our family, and any other relationships we may have.

The heaviness of it can cause us to lose our desire to fight or to keep going. Depression, negativity and loneliness can set in, making us feel like we are in a constant battle that we can never win.

How do we win this battle? How long will it take to feel like we are above and not beneath?

Many people have financial issues. Why? Because, there are very few that grow up being taught how to properly handle finances; How to save, how to give, how to spend, etc.

There is a lack of preparation and teaching in the home when it comes to how to properly handle our finances.

God’s word teaches us His principles regarding money.

He makes us think about what place money holds in our heart. Is it first place? Is it second place, or third etc.?

Only we can answer this. When we figure out what place money holds, then we can begin, because this very important question will tell us where the change needs to come in.

Matthew 6:21 (NKJV) 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

If we want to fully serve Jesus, we need to give Him our finances. Ouch. That’s tough, because many of us like to think our finances are our finances, period.

And many of us probably think that this is the one area of our lives that we can handle and have some control over.

If we are financially broke and things are not good, then really, what control do we have? We may say, “well if I had more money I could make it work”.

That is the point…it’s not about how much we have. It’s about what we do with what we have.

Once we know the right steps to take with our finances, we won’t have to think about how much we have or need. What we have will begin to work for us as we put it in its proper place.

Our finances have come from God. He owns everything. It is time we acknowledge Him with them and say…

Dear God, take my finances. Forgive us for this mess and help us do what is right with the money you have blessed us with. No matter how much we have, we are thankful for it and give it to You. Show us how to handle it properly, that it may glorify YOU. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.

Let God move on our hearts today in taking the first step. We may need to sit down and start a new budget by giving Him first place on that list.

We are excited to hear of the changes to come as you step out in obedience and in faith today!
