Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-18

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Many of us are looking for answers. We have questions and concerns. We want to better understand God and who He is. Maybe we don’t understand why certain things happen the way they do.

This is common for all of us. We think, and we try to sort things out in our heads. We try to make sense of the things we see and hear. Sometimes we can, but most of the time we just can’t seem to put all of the pieces together in a way that makes sense.

God’s word is the key that unlocks all of these things for us. Some people call it “the how-to manual for life”. It’s true. It is that. But it is so much more!

God’s word goes beyond life here on earth and helps give us a better understanding of all things spiritual. He uses it to teach us how to live here, and how to prepare for life with Him in eternity.

Yes, that seems like a lot to swallow. A lot to try to comprehend. But He doesn’t ask us to try to comprehend it all. He asks us to trust Him. And it’s His word that teaches us how to do that, too, to trust Him.

If we are not spending time in His word on a regular basis, we are living this life malnourished and without understanding. And we are fighting our battles under-equipped and unprepared, losing more than we are winning.

It’s time for us all to dig deep into His word, grow in our understanding and become the strong, mature believers He has called us to be.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-18

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Knowing the word of God and what He says about certain things is our weapon against the enemy. It helps protect us from his lies, deceit and temptation.

If we don’t know what God says about something, it makes it easier for us to fall into the devil’s trap. We need to educate ourselves and stay fresh and revived.

Let God revive us daily, keeping ourselves close enough to Him so that we will learn something new on a regular basis. We will have a revival in our hearts every day.

Do you need to be revived? Get in God’s word! Don’t wait. Get in there and start reading, even if it’s a little at a time to start off. Dig deep. You will come out refreshed, renewed and revived!

You will see your heart change right before your eyes, and you will have life and life more abundantly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-18

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Staying in God’s Word will keep us close to Him.

The devil loves to keep us busy and distracted with a million and one things to do, people pulling on us from every direction, just to keep us out of the word of God. Why? Because God’s Word that we put in us will feed us, fill us and keep us healthy and balanced, moving us forward every day.

It’s not good to give up our time with God to do other things. If we have an emergency, or something comes up and we have to change things up a bit, that’s OK. But, make sure we get our time in with Him. He will start us off every day on the right track.

There have been days when I am completely in a tizzy before I even get out of bed. But as soon as I get myself in the word and in prayer, God just sets me straight. Isn’t He AWESOME?!

You see the enemy will work hard at bringing in distractions even before we get out of bed. Our heads will get so full of thoughts of what needs to be done that we lose our focus before we even start the day.

So, hold the Word close to us. Keep it within reach, so that when we need it, it will be right at our fingertips! Just open it up and start reading.

God is faithful to help us through each day. Stay close to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-21-17

Matthew 11:29 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Sometimes our minds are our worst enemy. We think about things that might happen and then our thoughts run away from us. And this causes us to worry about things that we have no control over.

Sometimes we can get caught up in our emotions. It’s easy to do. Unfortunately, that’s the worst thing we can do.

God created us to have emotions! It’s part of His design. But He doesn’t want us to let our emotions control us. And He doesn’t want us to live based on our emotions. If we do live that way, our lives will be like a rollercoaster, up one day and down the next, based on how we feel.

God wants us to learn to rely 100% on Him for everything we need each and every day. It takes time for us to learn this. It’s a lifelong learning process!

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

That’s why it’s critical that we spend time in His word. Because as it gets into us, we learn to rely on it and pull it up from within our spirit when we need it.

The Holy Spirit is faithful to remind us of the things we have studied and learned from His word, so it’s important that we know the Word and let it become a part of who we are.

Take one day at a time. Spend time in His word. Let it become a part of who we are. And as we grow and learn to depend on Him, our emotions will no longer control our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-19-16

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The day I opened my very own Bible and began to read God’s word, I felt God’s personal touch. I had been saved when I was a child and spent a lot of years in church. The Church taught me many things. But I seemed to have been missing an important part.

I would wait until the doors opened, Wed. or Sunday, etc., to get God’s word for me. I relied on my Pastors to feed me. But it’s not all up to the Pastor.

Pastors need us at times. They need our prayers just as much as we need them and theirs. They are people with a big responsibility and they need a healthy congregation to join them in the vision and the call that God has given them.

One of the things I learned is that I spent more time on my own than in Church. Out of a 7 day week, 2 days maybe in Church, but not always. Sometimes just once. And sometimes not even that. Try feeding our natural bodies once or twice a week, or nothing at all, and see where that gets us.

I’ll tell you where it gets me. Hungry, tired, and WEAK. That’s what I was and it was NOT my Pastor’s fault. It was my own.

Just as our natural bodies need to be fed daily to remain balanced, healthy and strong, our spirit man needs the same. And I needed to learn how to get God on my own, when NO Pastors were around.

We are in a battle every day. This battle doesn’t stop and wait for us until Wed night or Sunday morning so we can get our answer from the pulpit. No! The battle keeps on and if we don’t know what to do, we lose ground. We get pushed back and if we get pushed back far enough, we can lose everything.

Do we feel like we are in that place today? Are we losing ground instead of gaining? Is our Spirit man famished, because of lack of food?

Taking time and reading God’s word daily will fill that emptiness. We will get strong. We will win battles, and have a more personal, one on ONE walk with HIM!
