Bible Verse of The Day – 7-28-17

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

God wants our whole heart. He desires us to walk closely with Him every minute of every day.

As human beings, we sometimes have a hard time with this. We get pulled on from so many different directions. We end up with our affections divided between so many things and our time spent scattered in many ways. Before we know it, God is only a tiny little slice of our lives.

One of the most important things we can learn as followers of Christ is that He comes first, before anyone and anything else. It’s His heart’s desire. It’s the reason He created us; to worship Him and walk close to Him.

There is a never-ending list of things we can put before God. Money, careers, family, relationships, etc., etc. It’s different for each of us.

But it doesn’t matter what it might be. If it pulls us away from God and causes our relationship with Him to falter or if it keeps us from growing closer to Him, then we need to take a serious look at it and consider making some changes.

God does not force us to love Him. It’s not in His nature to do so. He has given us the option; love Him or not. But if we do love Him, He wants us to do it of our own free will and give it 100%.

It’s amazing how our lives are transformed when we put Him first and give Him 100%. Our heart changes. Our outlook on life changes. Our attitude changes. We become more compassionate. We forgive more easily. We genuinely care about others. We put things aside that used to mean a lot to us.

And we do it all willingly. Why? Because our love for God overshadows everything else in life. And when our love for God reaches that point, there is nothing that can come between us and Him.

Nothing.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-16

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Even though we may love God with all of our heart, and say we want to do what He wants us to do (and really mean it), we still have that nasty flesh to deal with. It plays with our thoughts, and our emotions and it can cause a war within our own mind at times.

It takes time and persistence to tame that flesh and cause it to be in alignment with God and His plan.

We have moments when we are all for His plan and then there are moments when we just want to throw in the towel and say we have no more energy or strength left. This is normal.

But the bottom line is, we don’t. We don’t walk away. We don’t throw in the towel and we don’t give in to the flesh.

Why? Because we love Him too much and we truly want what He wants.

So keep up the good work. Don’t give up.

Let God’s Spirit dominate!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-16-16

Matthew 16:26 (NKJV) 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

We can pursue so many different things in our lifetime.

We can pursue a better career, a bigger house, a faster car, a bucket list of accomplishments, a long list of places we’ve traveled to, and so much more. The list could really be endless.

None of these things are wrong, in and of themselves. They can be good.

But not a single one of them will profit us if we pursue them in lieu of securing our eternity in heaven.

God wants our hearts. Yours, and mine. And He doesn’t just want a piece of them, He wants the whole thing!

He wants us to pursue Him with a passion that consumes us. He wants us to pursue Him with a zeal that many only show for their hobbies, their careers or their personal wants and desires.

But God wants to take the place of those things, so that He becomes our burning passion.

Are we chasing God first and foremost? Are we putting all of our effort into building our relationship with Him? And do we long for Him with a burning in our hearts?

We should be! Each and every one of us. It’s what we were created for. And none of us will ever feel fulfilled until we reach that place.

And, in the words of Jesus, what will it profit us if we gain the whole world and lose our souls?

Let’s put God first, church! First, ahead of every other thing in life that tries to vie for our time and attention.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-16

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

Love God with everything!!  

How can we show God that we love Him? What makes Him pleased in us and the things we do?

When we simply obey Him. When we study and follow His word to the best of our ability, and let the Holy Spirit be our Helper and guide us through, one day at a time.

The Holy Spirit will help guide us on what to do, what to say and how to worship Him.

John 4:23 (NKJV) 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

God has equipped us with everything we need to love and worship Him with all that we are.

He is seeking us to worship Him!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-21-15

Mark 12:30(NKJV) 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.

We are ever so grateful for all the wonderful congratulations we received from you on our anniversary day. Thank you all so much for your personal touch on our special day. It really meant the world to us and even though we have never met most of you face to face, we feel like we know you.

We truly are blessed to have such wonderful people like yourselves, standing with us and supporting us with the Bible Verse of The Day ministry.

There is a divine connection between us and God has brought us together.

Our prayer for you each day is that you would truly draw close to Him in all that you do. We know that if you do this your life will be blessed, you will make the right decisions and things will work out for the good for you, your family, business, ministry, and marriage, etc.

There is one thing in life that each one of us must do on a personal level. No one can do this for us. That is to love God with every ounce of our being.

We may have things to tend to throughout the day; that’s life. But we must always have time for God, no matter how much we have going on.

He is the most important part of our daily life; everything else can wait or be put on hold.

Loving Him takes precedence!! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-24-15

Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

I was talking with God last night. In fact, He was doing more of the talking and I was listening. But I did have questions for Him, and He provided me with answers. So I’d like to share some of that with you today.

As He spoke to my spirit (not an audible voice), He shared with me that everything about our lives comes back around to one simple principle; One simple truth. And that truth is stated in the scripture above.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart.

Everything we do in our lives is based on our love (or lack of love) for Him.

He shared with me that the sin in this world takes place because of a lack of love for Him or a weak love for Him.

Murder, terrorism, adultery, drunkenness, strife, envy, jealousy and many more such sins happen because of either a lack of love for Him, or a love that’s watered down or weak.

Our hearts dictate the direction of our lives. So if our hearts aren’t sold out to God, it will be reflected in our lives and the choices that we make.

Hearts that long after God and want to please Him in everything will make sound choices more often than those hearts that are lukewarm for God. Hearts that aren’t sold out to Him will, likewise, make choices and decisions that don’t always reflect God or put God first.

As He shared this with me, He also told me that this isn’t something that’s being shared to condemn people, but to give people a better understanding. A lack of understanding can bring destruction. But having understanding can open our eyes to things we would not otherwise be able to see.

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…

So, people of God, let’s sincerely check our hearts and let God show us where we’re really at. Do we love Him with our whole heart? Or do we only give Him a small piece of it, hoping to keep some for ourselves?

Love Him with all your heart today.
