Bible Verse of The Day – 12-11-24

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (LSB) 17 For our momentary, light affliction is working out for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Have you ever seen the look on a person’s face when they realize that they are about to go through a tough trial; something unexpected and difficult?

Any of us are likely to instantly become concerned and look a bit terrified if we are in that situation.

Why?

Because no one likes trials.

No one likes to be backed into a corner, facing seemingly impossible things.

These types of scenarios force us to deal with situations that are unfamiliar to us. We have no way of knowing what to expect or how to navigate through it.

It is normal to be scared. This is part of our fleshly reaction to difficult situations.

But God has told us that we are not to live by sight (the natural flesh), but by faith in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (LSB) 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight…

It is interesting to note that the word “sight” in the verse above literally means “appearance”, which tells us that we are to walk by faith and trust in God, not by the appearance of our situation.

This can be very difficult at times. Especially when it appears that our whole world is crashing down around us.

It is during these times that we must hold tightly to the word of God and the promises He has spoken.

It is in doing so that we will learn to trust Him in ways that we previously never thought possible. And as our faith in Him grows, we will see Him move in ways that we could never have imagined.

God has us in the palm of His hand. He is sovereign. He never leaves us nor forsakes us.

Let us trust Him to take us through the most difficult situations that we face in our lives.

And in doing so, we will find our relationship with Him growing stronger with each passing day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-27-24

John 17:3 (NKJV) 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

When things are unbearable to walk out, we’d better know Him. We’ve got to have Him; He is the only way we will make it through.

This past week, we heard of someone who lost their spouse at a very young age. It happened quickly.

The person, only in their mid 40s, had a heart attack and never recovered from it. They left behind a spouse and 6 young children to care for.

Oh, the pain I saw in this man’s eyes. He was clearly hurting.

In an instant, everything has changed for them. They are facing a difficult and unbearable time.

If we are a child of God, and things like this happen to us, we need to know He is there for us!

Hold onto Him. Cry out to Him. Lean on Him and rest in His arms.

Day by day, He will be our ROCK.

We must let Him go before us. He will be at our right hand.

He will light up our path in the darkest storm. He will comfort us in those hurtful situations. He will quiet us and give us peace in the most hostile and chaotic moments.

Psalm 16:8 (NKJV) 8 I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

We pray that you know Him! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-2-18

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

If you are feeling defeated today, you need to know that you are not alone. A lot of Christian people walk around with a smile on their face, talking the talk. But deep down they are feeling the same way, defeated and alone.

Sometimes the ones that we think have it all together are the ones who struggle the most.

Things aren’t always what they appear to be on the surface. We don’t know or understand what some people are facing. They too wrestle with thoughts and feelings of defeat.

We don’t even realize that the things we are going through, many times, are not our fault. We may not have done anything to cause them. Sometimes we are facing demons or principalities, spiritual attacks that have been sent out against us or others around us.

God will not let them win over us.

Colossians 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

The important thing to remember is to keep your eyes on God and don’t let feelings of defeat take up residence in your heart. Oh, they will try to enter in, but we don’t have to let them stay there.

Look to God for your strategy or plan. And know that whatever it is that you’re battling, it shall pass and not do permanent damage or harm.

Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.

Stand firm and hold on to God’s promises and what He says about you.

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-16

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Trusting God can give us rest. Rest from planning and trying to figure things out based on our own knowledge and understanding.

Let us not confuse resting with being lazy and unproductive.

Trusting God and resting in that which He tells us to do is a very good thing and healthy for both the natural and the spiritual man.

When God says “trust ME”, we can have peace, knowing that He will work on our behalf and He will guide us in what we need to do on our end. We will stop dwelling on those things that we have NO control over. We will stop trying to force things to happen. We will be OK with letting God do what only He can do and wants to do for us.

God wants to do the impossible for us. He wants us to experience HIM in a personal way, by leading us through challenges and difficult times and teaching us to see things through more than just our natural eyes and natural understanding.

Will we trust Him?
