Bible Verse of The Day – 12-11-18

Luke 5:38 (NKJV) 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

Change can be hard. Even if we know it may be good for us, it’s still hard to actually follow through with it.

Some people may be stuck in a rut because they cannot make the switch. It’s not that they don’t want to. They have every intention to. But when they look at the whole picture it is overwhelming.

God does not expect us to change everything all at once. He knows it will take some time. A little here and a little there is usually sufficient. Just as long as we are willing and we obey His steps, that is all that really matters.

How can we get past this?

Most times we put off changing because inside we are scared of the new. It is usually something we’ve never done and we don’t know what the outcome will be. So, we would rather stay with the known than to enter into the unknown. Why? Because we are familiar with it.

The Israelites had a similar attitude. They were set free from the bondage they were in, but after a while they wanted to go back to the familiarity of the past.

Numbers 14:4 (NKJV) 4 So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.”

Are we thinking on the same line today as the Israelites? If so, we need help. The old is not better than the new, no matter how comforting it may seem to us in our minds.

Luke 5:39 (NKJV) 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”

We may not like the new change at first, but over time we will find it is what we needed.

When God wants to do something new in us, we have to be ready to receive it, even if we don’t know the outcome. We need to be newly renovated today. We can’t let our love for familiarity work against the newness that God wants to pour into us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-17

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

It’s important that we understand that this is not a one time, only-when-we-are-in-trouble verse that we only follow when we’re in desperate need of help. This becomes a permanent lifestyle when we make Jesus our Lord and Savior!

This is the beginning of a brand new way of walking.

Faith; it’s where it all begins!

Are we still trying to walk the way we used to walk, before we became believers in Christ? If we are, then we will get the same results we used to get.

Maybe some of us are frustrated today because life is still the same as it was, and we were expecting big changes. Nothing is going to change for us if we don’t change the way we do things.

We need to learn to walk all over again. That’s right. And just as a baby taking its first steps, we might be a little wobbly and shaky.

We may even fall or fail at times. But, listen; We don’t stop learning. We keep on trying to get it right. We keep on pushing through, believing and having faith to get it right.

Even in our learning, God sees our faith.

Keep trying. Keep our eyes and our focus on Him. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-16-16

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.

We can get sidetracked pretty easily sometimes. When this happens, we can even lose sight of the thoughts that God has toward us. Today is a little reminder of how He thinks toward us all.

The devil would love for us to think that we are not included in this verse, maybe because we have done many things wrong against God.

But, the truth is that our name is in this verse. We have all done things wrong at one time or another and God gives us a chance to fix things. God truly loves us and wants the best future for us.

Matthew 18:22 (NKJV) 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

We serve a GRACIOUS Father. It’s not too late for us to give Him first place. We have to want to. We have to reach a point in our walk where we are sick and tired of the wrong things we do and want to do what’s right. We have to hate the sin and love God and righteous living MORE than we love the sin.

Are we there yet? Are we willing to hate that which pushes us away from our loving Father?

Only we can answer that question. And only then can we take the steps to get close to Him and let Him help us have the future He wants to give us.

If we are alive and breathing then it is NOT too late. And yes, the offer still stands, no matter how far we have fallen, but we have to be willing to CHANGE.

Today is a new day and a fresh start.
