Tag: Bible verses about letting God help us with choices

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-23-21

Deuteronomy 20:4 (NKJV) 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

Are we challenged on our job? Do we feel like we can’t get ahead of things? What is happening with our plans? Does it feel like nothing seems to be going right?

How do we turn things around when it feels like this?

We all know that life’s struggles can be up and down.

Sometimes we feel as though we are on a cloud. But it doesn’t seem to last that long, and then we are down in the valley again.

We ask God, “why the struggle? Why can’t we stay level just for a while? I’m so tired of this, and I don’t want to have to do it again”.

We have to take a look at what we are doing.

Why?

Because many times the results of our choices are what’s putting us on this never-ending cycle of ups and downs.

It’s hard to break habits, schedules, routines and just plain old everyday ways of thinking.

We have to reach a point where we just say, “OK, I’m done with doing it the same old way. I’m going to push myself to let God bring change in my way of thinking”.

We need to be strong and patient if we want the best results. We need to allow God to push us beyond what is comfortable for us, and say, “OK. I’m not going to step in the way this time, even if it takes a little longer than I expected”.

And we have to mean it.

How many can relate?

I know, because this is speaking to me today, too.

Can we stand together, praying for each other to let good and helpful change come?

We need the type of change that will make us the head, and not constantly falling back into the tail-end.

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.

God will make us the head:

Step one (1) have we reached the end of our rope?

Step two (2) Have we come to the conclusion that we are the cause of our situation, and we are willing to change the way we do things?

Step three (3) Can we take a step of faith and observe His way for us, trusting Him to turn things around?

Pray with us if you’d like God to help you in this area.

Dear God,

So many times I keep failing and going back to the old. So many times my heart is convicted, but my will keeps doing the same thing. I’m sorry, and I know that if I continue down this path, I will lose again.

I ask You to help me switch up those things in me that cause me to repeat the error(s) over and over again.

Give me a backbone to say no to myself, and to walk in Your way. I want to change my situation, not only for my own sake, but for my family or those I’m close to as well.

I do care and I do want to make a difference and be a good steward of all you give me.

Thank you in advance for Your help. My heart is ready to listen and I am ready to observe and do Your will.

In Jesus name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-28-19

Romans 7:15 (NKJV) 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.

Do we ever feel like we are not adequate to do what God wants us to do? Do we feel like we have failed Him badly, by making the wrong choice even when we knew the right thing to do?

We all struggle with this. No one is alone in it.

Trying to always do what is right is a constant, day to day battle with our flesh. And we all know that some things are much easier to do than others, especially if we are weak in certain areas.

Focusing on the things that tend to be hard for us to do is something we should be praying for. Don’t ignore them and say, “Oh, well, that’s my weakness”. Because when we do that, it shows us we have already given up on the fight.

God wants to pinpoint and help us conquer that weakness, not on our own but through His strength.

Job 4:4 (NKJV) 4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees…

Do we have a hard time saying no to peer pressure? Admit it and ask God for strength in that particular area.

Do we have trouble with lust? Ask God for strength to resist it, and the wisdom to avoid coming in contact with situations that cause us to feel the way we do when we are around such things, places, people, etc.

If we are weak when it comes to eating healthy, we would rather have the sweets and yummy foods instead and we find ourselves suffering later. Ask God to take that craving for unhealthy foods away from us, bringing deliverance and a better understanding about why we need to have balance in our eating habits.

I know someone who is diabetic. They know they can’t eat certain foods. But boy, just knowing this makes them crave them even more.

It’s not easy! God gets it. That is why we need Him to strengthen us to overcome it.

There are many ways we can make wrong decisions and find ourselves stumbling as believers.

We are going to mess up from time to time, even after asking God for help with our weaknesses. But don’t get depressed and totally give up. Get back on track and start again. He knows, and He will be there for us.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-21-19

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV) 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

We are truly blessed each day to be God’s children. He has set us up to walk in His blessings, His favor and His protection. He does not expect us to be alone while we journey in this world. It’s too much for us.

Communing with the Holy Spirit is an awesome and victorious way to walk out our day. He is there to help us. Some of the things that we go through in one day can be more than we can handle.

Having grace, love and the help of God’s Spirit is what it takes to get through it. What are we facing today that is taking all of our thoughts, our time and our labor?

If we want to get through it and move on, we need to make room for all three, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

It may be time to put aside our plan. It’s not working.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-19-19

Isaiah 50:7 (NKJV) 7 “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

Just talk alone doesn’t do much for us. We will be forever talking about the same things over and over again if we don’t take action and do something.

How many times do we hear ourselves or someone else say they are going to do this or do that, and many years later they are still in the same situation, saying the same thing?

Most times it is because the action that needed to be taken went no further than conversation. When we just talk about something, it stays right there. It doesn’t go any further. Unless we put those thoughts and creativity to the test, we are stagnant.

Is there something we need to step out into and take action on today? Have we talked about it until we are blue in the face? Is God prompting us to do something now?

Sitting back and talking about it is not going to do a thing. It’s time to take action and get God involved.

How do we move forward with these plans? We pray, asking God for His help and His guidance. We ask Him to open doors that we need to have opened for us, and for His favor to go before us.

Then we start to move toward the plans accordingly, one step at a time.

When we let God get involved, He will help us see things through to completion, as long as what it is we are doing, or want to do, is good for us.

He enjoys going through each step with us. He will help us over the hurdles and bring us through the valleys. He’ll give us strength or carry us over the mountain tops. He will do what it takes to help us.

If God is for it and it’s what He wants, we have no reason to stress or worry about anything.

When we set our face like a flint towards what God wants for us, nothing can stop us. If we let Him, He will see to it that things go right.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-15-16

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.

The best way to be sure we make the right decisions each day is to be prayerful and not jump into things quickly.

There are times when we may feel like we have to make a huge change in our lives. For instance, we need to relocate, change jobs or even start a completely NEW career.

Maybe we feel a strong desire to get married, or maybe we feel like God is calling us to do some kind of ministry work. These are examples of a few of the kinds of changes that will affect us hugely.

These types of decisions can really change our life and the direction of it, and they require that we make sure we’re setting the Lord before us.

David knew Who he needed to have at his right hand in order to keep him going down the right path.

If we are contemplating taking a big step or making a major change, we need to let God go before us. Let Him guide our steps and show us what it is that He has for us.

Let the Lord be at our right hand. He is faithful!
