Bible Verse of The Day – 4-26-18

Psalm 139:23-24 (NKJV) 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Have we ever asked God to search us to see if there are any wicked ways in us? Oh, that is getting right down to the nitty gritty. But, if we really want to change, these are the things we ask God to do in order to help us see what it is that we need to do to make the change happen.

It’s not always easy. And in order to even reach this point we have to really want to do what is right.

Sometimes we don’t even know what is in our own hearts unless God spells it out for us. Have you ever had a moment like that, when you realize maybe some of the things we are participating in are wicked?

Ouch. We have probably all have had those moments at one time or another, or we would have never reached a point where we repented and asked God for His forgiveness.

We don’t have to worry about how many times we have to ask God to forgive us. Because He will.

What we want to pay close attention to is if we keep doing the same things over and over again, the same way.

We are always going to need forgiveness for things, but it shouldn’t be for the same thing all the time. God wants to lead us away from the wicked ways of doing things and learn to do things the right way; His way.

Don’t be ashamed, though. Get with Him today and let Him search our hearts. He wants to help us overcome these things.

Romans 12:21 (NKJV) 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-16

Job 20:4-5 (NKJV) 4 “Do you not know this of old, since man was placed on earth, 5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment?

Watching the wickedness in the world can be pretty frustrating. You might even say that it’s exasperating. Sometimes it might seem like the wicked always win and that it never ends.

But fear not! God is still on the throne and He is well aware of everything that happens each and every day.

Though it might seem like the wicked always win and they never seem to get caught, God has assured us in the verse above, and other verses like this, that wickedness will not go unpunished, nor will it last forever.

So instead of us focusing on the wickedness we see, let’s focus on God and what He has for our lives.

It won’t make the wickedness go away, but it will surely make our lives more fruitful and more enjoyable as we draw near to Him and push the things of this world aside.
