Bible Verse of The Day – 2-2-17

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 121 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

So many times, when we hit tough times or run into a problem, we tend to look everywhere but to God for the answer or the solution.

For some odd reason, we always leave God out until He becomes a last resort. We tend to think of Him only after exhausting all other possible options.

But God wants to change all of that. He wants us to learn and grow to understand that we should be looking to Him first!

Going to God first can be tough to learn when we first start. We get so used to depending on ourselves or others for help that it’s kind of a knee-jerk reaction each time we face a tough situation or circumstance.

But the longer we take before surrendering to God and asking Him for His help and His solution, the longer it will be until we have the right answers to our questions and the right solutions for our problems.

The key is that we learn to put God first in absolutely everything we do and every choice that we make. As we learn to do this, we will find ourselves trusting Him more and more and find ourselves in less problematic situations.

And when we do run into something that requires help, we will instinctively turn and look to God for that help, instead of spinning our own wheels or running to our friends.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-21-16

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Have we been trying to do everything ourselves? Has our life been made up of everything that we know to do on our own power, using our own understanding? Have we ever once given God the OK to lead us in accomplishing anything?

How will we ever see God’s hand, His miracles, blessings or breakthroughs if we are always leaving Him out?

Well, we say, “God gave us a brain”. Yes, He definitely did. But there are times that the brain needs help. Where did the brain get Adam and Eve the day they ate the fruit and were kicked out of the garden (Genesis 3:1-7 NKJV)?

Where did that brain get Samson when Delilah shaved his head and took his power (Judges 16:16-20 NKJV)?

Where did that brain get David when he saw Bathsheba, another man’s wife, bathing on the rooftop and committed adultery with her? (2 Samuel 11: 2–4 NKJV)?

When it comes to temptation, the brain is weak. The brain needs the help that God has offered to us. It needs the strength, wisdom, power and understanding of the Holy Spirit. It needs to be able to push back temptation and say NO!

God’s Spirit will help us in every situation.

Many of us have fallen at different times because we were too stubborn, ignorant or full of pride, and we didn’t ask God for His Helper.

Get help today. Ask God for His Helper, the Holy Spirit, to help us and guide us in all things; even those things we think we can handle. Amen!!

John 14:16 (NKJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever…

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-8-16

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

Did we ever notice how hard it is for us to just let God supply all our needs? It is a hard thing to sit back and let God provide for us. It’s hard for our minds and hearts to accept, at times, that God really wants to help us.

Why is it so hard? Why do we fight God on this? Why can’t we just let Him help?

For some reason, man thinks He has to do it himself. And it is only when we get to a point where we have no way out and we have exhausted all our “KNOWHOW”, that we finally say, “OK God. I need Your help”.

There are some people that never even get to that point, because they simply refuse to admit that they need help. They would rather be mad at the world and miserable to everyone around them, than to give in and let GOD fix it.

Notice that in the beginning of Genesis, God shows us how man struggled with His provision. Take a look at Adam and Eve. They were well provided for. God had it all set for them. All they had to do was obey Him, listen and live. Everything was provided at their fingertips! But there was a weakness, and in their weakness they were tempted, and they fell.

Right from the beginning of time, we have struggled with obeying and accepting God’s provision. We wanted more. We wanted to do it on our own, with nobody telling us anything.

The question is, will we admit it? Will we learn it’s not just Adam and Eve, but all of us who struggle with this in our own personal daily lives?

If we want all that God has for us, we need to face the truth, that at times God is not holding us back or keeping things from us. But we hold back God by not obeying Him and receiving His provision in His way and His timing. How? By trying to do it all on our own.

Let God supply all our needs as we surrender unto Him today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-30-16

Proverbs 12:1 (NKJV) 12 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.

One of the things I have learned is that just because someone doesn’t always agree with me, or they may carry themselves differently than I do, it doesn’t mean that I can’t learn from them. I shouldn’t just exclude them and push them away immediately because of our differences.

Listening and learning is a big part of how we grow. We grow stronger and wiser by paying attention to those that may be a little different than us.

We can win battles at times if we listen to the right people and learn from them. Sometimes we look at people and think, “well, so and so made this mistake so they are not going to tell me how to how to live my life. Look what happened to them, look what they’ve been through. How can they teach me anything?”

Exactly. They walked through it. That is how we learn from each other. By simply walking through things and learning, we will come out with a lesson.

If someone has been through something similar to what we are going through and they came out of it, then they just might have the very answer we need.

There may be someone in our life today that God wants to use to help us win a battle. They have walked through the fire and they have the experience.

Their appearance or credentials may not be exactly what we would expect, but they can help us a great deal. Maybe because we don’t want to see eye to eye with them, we don’t think that they should be the ones to teach us. Boom!

It’s not up to us to always know where our help, answer or teaching will come from.

One thing to remember is that David brought the giant down! Who would have expected a boy to do this? But God knew David and knew he would be the one to do the job.

He knows who we need to help us at times; someone we can learn from. We can’t be so quick to say NO to the help that God brings.

Be open and patient and in time we will see.

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-31-15

Psalm 62:7 (NKJV) 7 In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.

Because God is our salvation, we can be assured that He will protect us, help us, guide us, carry us, hold us, care for us, preserve us, deliver us, heal us and strengthen us in any given situation.

Living day to day, we will have good days and not so good days. We will have some fun and exciting moments! We will face obstacles and have to jump over some hurdles at times. It’s all part of living in this world and everyone will face their own victories, struggles and trials.

The one that wins is the one that chooses Christ to help them live in this world.

He has overcome this place that we live in; all of it. And He has the answers for us to be overcomers!!

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.”

Stay close to Him. Don’t look to the right and don’t stray to the left. His peace will guide us through everything we face, if we let it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-11-15

Psalm 31:2 (NKJV) 2 Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.

We have a Savior and He gives us eternal life. He also is here to help us through our everyday struggles, but yet we have a hard time crying out to Him and letting Him be that rock of refuge.

He is not done with us after we receive Him as our Savior. He is just beginning to work in our lives, if we let Him. We don’t have to walk through anything that this life dishes out to us ALONE!. We don’t have to do all the fixing up ourselves.

For instance, something people may be struggling with on their own is grieving. How do we get past it, to where we can continue living and actually feel joy again?

Or another thing we struggle with is when someone we love, or a close friend, hurts us badly. We may suffer from anger and bitterness because of it. How do we forgive that person and move forward, making new friends, still loving the old one, and without having bad feelings toward that person?

These are a few things that are impossible for us to do on our own. We can make the choice to forgive and so forth, but we need to cry out to Christ to help us in knowing how. It is the only way we will make it through, by letting Him save us from these things.

We wonder why we are tired and we can’t seem to get ahead on this journey. It’s time to give it up and stop trying to do it on our own.

We didn’t say to give up, but to give IT up, and let God SAVE us from it. Let Him help us. We need His strength and His power to get past it all.

Psalm 68:35 (NKJV) 35 O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!

Take a few minutes today and ponder on the things that keep causing us to get worn out, tired and stressed, and give them to God so that He may fix them.

He has a way of showing us what to do, and it WORKS!! Amen.
