Bible Verse of The Day – 3-18-15

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

So many people wonder how to find God’s purpose for their life.

Many others are in the midst of trials and hard times.

Some of us are looking for ways to increase our finances and get out of debt.

Still others are trying to find meaning and purpose in our lives.

We are all unique. It’s how God created us. And we all have different things that we’re trying to figure out in our lives.

Despite the fact that we’re all unique and our lives are all different from each other, sometimes in vast ways, we all have one thing in common. And no matter how hard someone might try, they can never, ever change that one thing.

That thing is the fact that, in everything we do, we can never truly accomplish anything unless we seek God first!

When we seek His kingdom first, it helps to put everything else into its proper place and perspective.

Let’s just say it helps us get our priorities straight.

And as it should be, since God is the creator and owner of everything we see 🙂

So if your life is upside down, seek God first. Make Him your priority and the other things will eventually fall into place.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-5-15

Exodus 20:3 (NKJV) 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

It’s the beginning of a new year!! A good time to check ourselves and make sure we are not putting anyone or anything before God.

Just the other morning I got up bright and early, and most mornings I will go directly into what I call my “prayer chambers.”  In reality, it’s just a spare room, where the phone gets shut off, and there are NO interruptions. God gets my undivided attention.

But on this particular morning, I jumped out of bed to run to the gym. I had a plan; I wanted to beat the crowd and get back home.

As I was getting up I heard these words; “What about Me?”

You see, it means a lot to God when we take time out for Him. Our time together is more important to Him than beating the crowd to the gym. He wants to know what’s more important to us.

He doesn’t want anything or anyone to come before Him. Not the gym, not our job, our children, not even our church ministry, not our finances, not our friends and the pressure to go out and have fun times with them. Nothing can come before Him.

Let’s focus this year on loving God most and putting Him first by being sensitive to what He wants for us.

Let Him be our God. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-15-14

Jude 1:20-21 (NKJV) 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Today, we’d like to offer these verses to you, to encourage you and show you God’s hope for your life.

God desires for each and every one of us to excel in the faith; to be built up, praying in the Spirit and keeping ourselves in the love of God.

God wants us to pursue Him with all that is in us.

So many of us have gotten ourselves so busy and so stretched for time that we find it hard to spend even just a few minutes with Him each day.

We implore you today to stop and take a look at your lifestyle… your busy, busy lifestyle that tries to squeeze so much into every minute of each day. Before we know it, we’ve gotten so over-scheduled that we can’t even do all of the things that we’ve obligated ourselves to do.

Almost 2 years ago, God spoke a single word to me; Simplify.

So today I want to speak that very same word to you; Simplify!

Take time and examine your life. What is necessary and what can be cut out? What have we tied ourselves to that we need to cut off?

Which activities are we pursuing that maybe we need to scale back on, or possibly even let go of completely?

It’s not an easy thing to do, to simplify, but if we want to know God and experience that peace that surpasses understanding, we need to make room for Him to work in our lives.

So I ask you today, will you heed His word? Will you make room for Him?

Simplify!
