Bible Verse of The Day – 10-17-20

Proverbs 27:1 (NKJV) 1 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Planning, scheduling and setting goals throughout our day is good. It helps us work more efficiently and makes sure we’re doing what needs to be done.

It’s only right that we do this if we want to be diligent with our time.

But, to go on and on about what we know and don’t know about tomorrow, a month from now or even a year from now is just a bunch of hot air.

We don’t know, and we should not boast or brag about it.

Some people can tell us stories about things they are facing, or maybe what they have walked through, that they never knew was going to happen. That’s what we are talking about.

Unexpected things happen.

People who live confidently, thinking they’ve got everything figured out, can be in for a rude awakening when things don’t go as planned.

We want to prepare you beforehand so that you don’t fall into despair or go off the deep end when the unexpected comes along.

None of us are promised a tomorrow. If we get a tomorrow, we need to be thankful and live it out as if it was our last day.

God did not make us to have everything planned out on our own. He made us to appreciate one day at a time. He made us a people that would walk with Him, lean and trust Him every day that we live and breathe.

But we think we have to try and fix things ourselves. We have to make things work the way we want them to and get it done in our time, not wanting to wait on Someone else.

Let’s face it, children of God. When Covid-19 came rolling in and changed everything, were we prepared for that?

No. We had no clue it was coming. And it changed how we did things with the snap of a finger.

So, we need to be sure that we don’t boast or brag about tomorrow, because only God knows what’s to come tomorrow. It’s safe to say we all can boast in Someone and that Someone is Him!!

1 Corinthians 1:31 (NIV) 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-18-18

Proverbs 27:1 (NKJV) 1 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Don’t feel bad if you don’t know how everything is going to work out, or how you will get this done or that done. Learn to take things one day at a time.

Planning things well in advance is not always the best thing. Most times it puts a lot of unnecessary stress on us.

God doesn’t want us stressed out. Too much stress can lead to other illnesses.

How many of us are fighting to keep everything in perfect order, working hard to stick to a schedule or routine? It may be time to stop and relax.

If we could learn to just take life as it comes and not plan so far ahead, we would be more at peace. And we would be better able to handle whatever comes our way that we weren’t expecting.

We need to be ready to change the way we do things, leading to a less stressful life. God is faithful to help us learn how to move today, in the here and now. That is good enough for Him.

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-18

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.

We can never be sure what each new day will bring.

We get emails every day from people all around the world. My Bible Verse of The Day is far-reaching, praise be to God!

We are still in awe over the places, homes, businesses, ministries, etc. that it reaches. We love to watch God move in the countless lives of those who receive our emails. We are very honored to be able to serve in whatever way that we can.

Today we received a different kind of email. This one was from a woman that we know in a nearby city. We know her because about 7 years ago, she had booked a guided fishing trip for her husband with Pastor Curt. Every year since then he would look forward to that annual trip to catch some bass.

But the email we received today was that he would not be booking another trip because he had passed away on July 10. Instead, she was asking for help with selling her husband’s boat.

She told us that one of the last things he wanted to do before he passed away was to get out on the water again with Pastor Curt. Sadly, he wasn’t able to do so.

You see, we just don’t know from day to day what we will hear or be faced with. No one does. And, as we have said many times before, we never know when our last day will be.

But one thing for sure that we can hold onto is that the Lord God will help us in whatever we may be facing.

It’s important that we set our face like a flint and press into Him. He is our answer, no matter what we face. Set it on Him and move forward. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-11-17

James 4:13-14 (NKJV) 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Today we got word that our nephew had passed away. He was in his early 30s. He had been battling cancer for several months. And now his fight was over. He went home to be with Jesus.

We don’t write this to ask for sympathy or for anyone to mourn his passing. But as a reminder that life is precious, and it is very short. For some, it is shorter than for others.

Not a single one of us is guaranteed that we will have a tomorrow. Yet, so many times we tend to live like we have decades ahead of us.

We plan so many things, sometimes years in advance. We put off spending time with our loved ones because we think we will do it “later, when we have time”. We treat life like tomorrow is promised to us and guaranteed to arrive right on schedule.

But here’s the honest truth. Tomorrow will arrive. The sun will rise again in the morning. But neither you nor I are promised that we will be here to see it.

Our lives are like a vapor, like the morning mist that is here for only a short time and then fades away and is gone.

So, we encourage you to cherish today. We need to take advantage of the time we have here and not squander it away on meaningless activities.

Love those that God has placed in your life. Forgive and seek forgiveness. Help others and allow others to help you, if needed.

And while we’re here on earth, let us be like beacons of God’s light, shining on all those we come into contact with.

Shine brightly while we’re here.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-17-15

Proverbs 27:1 (NKJV) 27 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

We spend so much of our time planning. We plan for the future, as if we’re sure that we will have a handle on everything and will be able to carry out our plans.

We go through today as if we know for sure that we will have a tomorrow. Sometimes the choices we make, the things we do and the things we say make a statement about how we view tomorrow.

Planning isn’t necessarily a bad thing. We should be organized and responsible, using our time wisely. And we should never live in fear of what tomorrow might bring. We have to have faith, knowing that it’s all in God’s hands.

But we need to be careful that we never view tomorrow as a right, as something that we’re guaranteed to have. Tomorrow is never a right. It’s always a privilege.

We are only half way through 2015, and already we have known people who have passed away who would be viewed as too young to die. 56 years old, 44, 36 and others who hadn’t “lived their lives out yet”, are all gone. And all of them suddenly.

James 4:13-14 (NKJV) 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Not a single one of us knows what tomorrow will bring, or if we will even have a tomorrow.

We need to treat each precious day with respect. We need to love those in our lives as though we might not have a tomorrow to show them our love. And we need to care for others in a way that they will know we mean it.

We touch on this subject every so often, not to be morbid or depressing, but as a gentle reminder for all of us.

If we, or those that we know, were to be gone tomorrow, would we have loved and given 100 percent?

Something to think about.
