Bible Verse of The Day – 11-6-21

Matthew 20:32 (NKJV) 32 So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

I can only imagine their anticipation, knowing that their Healer stood before them, asking them this question; “What do you want me to do for you?”.

If it was us, would we be able to tell Him what we needed? Or would we be too embarrassed or prideful, thinking, “we shouldn’t bother Him with our problems”?

We’d better know what we need to ask for, and humbly come before Him with expectation, knowing that He can take care of our need, If we want miraculous results.

This same Lord who took care of their need stands before us today and asks us the same question, “what do you want me to do for you?”.

It’s up to us to be able to say it.

We need to speak out and ask Him for His answers to our situation.

He wants to help, heal, deliver and bring victory to anything we are struggling with; Anything that is slowing us down or causing us stress or pain.

Matthew 20:33 (NKJV) 33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”

These men told Jesus exactly what they needed taken care of. They were ready for the Great Physician to open their eyes once and for all. They trusted and they knew He could do such a miracle. They were ready to receive it!

Matthew 20:34 (NKJV) 34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

I love that it says He had compassion. How precious is He. We need this same compassion working in us towards others today.

He touched their eyes, they immediately received their sight, and they followed Him. Praise be to God!

Let Him touch our need today. He has compassion for us, too.

Believe in our hearts that He can and will take care of all our needs.

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

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-20

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…

With God, we do not demand or declare things to come.

But by a simple request, let it be made known to Him the things we are going through and the things we would like to see change. Then, we leave it in His hands, thank Him for whatever He does and the way He does it, bringing clarity and change to our situation.

There is a big difference between this and the way some are being taught today, being told that they can demand from God what they want done. This kind of teaching is off.

What does it mean to request something? It is an act of asking politely or formally for something. It does not necessarily mean we are going to get it, but it means we can request it.

Do not be anxious.

This is so important; anxiety is the first thing that hits us when we want something. We have to fight it off. We have to say no and push it down. We are to be anxious for nothing. But be prayerful, asking earnestly and humbly for the things we need.

Demanding of God to do things will not work.

Humbly ask Him and put our request before Him, and He will answer us accordingly. Be thankful for the answer He gives us, and trust that His answer is best for our situation.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-31-17

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

In the middle of a trying season in our lives, we sat down to pray. We really had no direction at this particular time. We cried out to the ONE that we knew was our only hope. And we trusted He would show us the answer.

Sometimes not knowing what to do may seem better to us, rather than getting God’s answer. This is especially true if the answer is something we have never done before or bigger than what we think we can do. Maybe this is why sometimes we don’t ask God? Because we’re afraid of His answer.

When God gave us His answer, we looked at our situation and realized it was something that was impossible to do at that time. Despite the situation we were in, we did say yes to Him.

And we agreed, that however He chose to do it, we were OK with it. We would wait on the timing and the steps.

As we waited, we continued to do what we knew we could do and God made the rest happen.

In the areas where we could not see how to do it or how it could possibly happen, He did it.

We look back now and think, “boy, are we glad we didn’t let our “not knowing” cause us to be stuck where we were”.

In the situation you’re facing today, ask God for direction. Ask Him for the answer. He will hear your prayer and direct your steps.

Psalm 4:1 (NKJV) 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
