Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-20

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

God’s word is what helps us to walk in faith. If we don’t have His word in us, the faith we have will be weak. We need to be constantly building it up by keeping His word fresh and new in us.

We’ve got to be hearing Him and what He is saying through His words. And in order to do this, we’ve got to make an effort to spend time reading it and soaking it up.

You know, like one of those books we enjoy and can wait to get home and read. All day we think about getting home so we can get back into it. That’s how the Bible needs to become for us.

It has to be THE book that has priority. The book that calls our name. The book that speaks to us even when we’d rather be doing something else.

Read its words. Stay connected, and we won’t get off track.

We will see change come to us and our situation as we begin to grow in our faith.

WE have to do it, though. No one else can grow our faith for us. Read, and read some more. Hear what it is that God is saying in His word. Take it to heart and enjoy it!!

This book was written for us. It’s our faith builder! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-9-19

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Jesus used the word of God to defend Himself against the temptations that the devil was hitting Him with. He didn’t go into long speeches or enter into debates with him. He simply spoke the word of God.

If Jesus did this, how much more important is it that we get the word of God in us and so we can use it as a weapon against the enemy?

We need the word of God in our lives on a daily basis.

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

It’s not just a coincidence that those who spend the most time in God’s word usually have a stronger walk with God.

On a recent fishing trip, I was having a discussion of Biblical topics with one of the men on my boat. He made a statement that was interesting. He said that he did some studying of people who moved in the gift of healing and found that one of the strongest common threads among all of them was the amount of time they spent in the word of God.

We obviously shouldn’t spend time in the Word solely with an expectation of becoming a prophet, or to attain any other spiritual gift or office. But the fact that most of these people do spend large amounts of time in God’s word helps to prove the need for it in all of our lives.

God’s word builds our trust in Him, thereby giving us stronger faith. And this just makes us stronger each and every day in so many different ways.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-16-19

Psalm 119:130 (NKJV) 130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

God’s word is the most valuable thing we can have introduced into our lives.

His word is a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).

It is living and powerful (Hebrews 4:12).

His word gives life (Psalm 119:50).

His word cleanses us (Psalm 119:9).

If we keep it in our hearts, it keeps us from sinning (Psalm 119:11).

It revives us (Psalm 119:25).

It strengthens us when we are weak (Psalm 119:28).

His word brings us salvation (Psalm 119:41).

It’s safe to say that we need God’s word hidden in our hearts. Without it we will struggle through each day, trying to find our way.

With it, we grow stronger, bolder, more courageous, more righteous, kinder and more compassionate.

But here’s the key that unlocks all of this; we have to read it!

God’s word can only help us if we get it in us, where it changes us from the inside, out.

Be sure that we are taking time to feed on His word each and every day. We will never regret it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-29-19

Matthew 4:1 (NKJV) 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Jesus fasted for 40 days. And at the end of that time, the devil came to tempt Him.

Because Jesus hadn’t eaten for 40 days, the devil offered Jesus what he thought would be the most likely thing to get Him to fall; food.

Jesus rebuffed the devil, telling him that man doesn’t live by bread alone, but by the word of God.

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

The devil tempted Him again, taunting Him and encouraging Him to throw Himself off of the high place they were on, telling Jesus that God’s angels would surely protect Him if He decided to do so.

Again, Jesus countered the devil, telling him that we should not tempt God.

Matthew 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

The third attempt, the devil took Jesus to a very high place. He showed Jesus great kingdoms of the world and all of their glory, telling Him that if He would bow down to him, all of this could be His.

Once again, Jesus rebuked the devil, telling him to leave, and reminding him that we shall worship and serve God, and only God.

Matthew 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

So, if Jesus, the Son of God relied on God’s word to rebuke the devil, how much more should we also rely on God’s word to defend ourselves from the wiles of the enemy?

How much more should we hide God’s word in our hearts to make sure we can stand strong when the pressure of temptation tries its hardest to drive us backwards and bring us to our knees?

Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

His word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Let’s follow that light and stand strong in Him!

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-18

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Many of us are looking for answers. We have questions and concerns. We want to better understand God and who He is. Maybe we don’t understand why certain things happen the way they do.

This is common for all of us. We think, and we try to sort things out in our heads. We try to make sense of the things we see and hear. Sometimes we can, but most of the time we just can’t seem to put all of the pieces together in a way that makes sense.

God’s word is the key that unlocks all of these things for us. Some people call it “the how-to manual for life”. It’s true. It is that. But it is so much more!

God’s word goes beyond life here on earth and helps give us a better understanding of all things spiritual. He uses it to teach us how to live here, and how to prepare for life with Him in eternity.

Yes, that seems like a lot to swallow. A lot to try to comprehend. But He doesn’t ask us to try to comprehend it all. He asks us to trust Him. And it’s His word that teaches us how to do that, too, to trust Him.

If we are not spending time in His word on a regular basis, we are living this life malnourished and without understanding. And we are fighting our battles under-equipped and unprepared, losing more than we are winning.

It’s time for us all to dig deep into His word, grow in our understanding and become the strong, mature believers He has called us to be.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-18

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Knowing the word of God and what He says about certain things is our weapon against the enemy. It helps protect us from his lies, deceit and temptation.

If we don’t know what God says about something, it makes it easier for us to fall into the devil’s trap. We need to educate ourselves and stay fresh and revived.

Let God revive us daily, keeping ourselves close enough to Him so that we will learn something new on a regular basis. We will have a revival in our hearts every day.

Do you need to be revived? Get in God’s word! Don’t wait. Get in there and start reading, even if it’s a little at a time to start off. Dig deep. You will come out refreshed, renewed and revived!

You will see your heart change right before your eyes, and you will have life and life more abundantly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-18

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Staying in God’s Word will keep us close to Him.

The devil loves to keep us busy and distracted with a million and one things to do, people pulling on us from every direction, just to keep us out of the word of God. Why? Because God’s Word that we put in us will feed us, fill us and keep us healthy and balanced, moving us forward every day.

It’s not good to give up our time with God to do other things. If we have an emergency, or something comes up and we have to change things up a bit, that’s OK. But, make sure we get our time in with Him. He will start us off every day on the right track.

There have been days when I am completely in a tizzy before I even get out of bed. But as soon as I get myself in the word and in prayer, God just sets me straight. Isn’t He AWESOME?!

You see the enemy will work hard at bringing in distractions even before we get out of bed. Our heads will get so full of thoughts of what needs to be done that we lose our focus before we even start the day.

So, hold the Word close to us. Keep it within reach, so that when we need it, it will be right at our fingertips! Just open it up and start reading.

God is faithful to help us through each day. Stay close to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-5-16

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Are we seeking the knowledge that God has for us?

Or do we just try to do everything on our own, with the knowledge we have learned from others? Or maybe we do everything based only our past experiences?

Knowledge is something that God offers to each one of us on a daily basis. Without it we are destroyed.

God gives us His word. Through it, we learn of Him and grow our relationship with Him.

God also gives us direction and instruction through His word. We have to take it and walk it out.

God offers us His forgiveness; it’s available to us anytime, all the time. We just have to ask Him for it.

These 3 things, knowing Him, following His directions, and asking for forgiveness when we need it, will bring us down a road leading to His knowledge.

1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV) 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Pick up God’s word, get His knowledge, and follow His plan for your life!
