Bible Verse of The Day – 7-11-24

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

The great part about being God’s child is that we can be totally honest with Him.

That’s right! We can tell Him everything.

We can tell Him how we feel, what we are thinking, and our concerns. We can even tell Him if we are doubting the things we have done.

Sometimes we just don’t know what is happening based on the things we see.

Just the other day, I was waking up from a deep sleep. A thought immediately came into my mind about a decision we had made. It brought doubt with it.

I prayed, dear God; I hope we did not make the wrong choice. Please forgive us if we did.

God quickly, and I mean within seconds, reassured me that we hadn’t. That everything was good.

You know those times when if you don’t see change right away, or you see things going in a different direction than you thought, you immediately blame yourself for something?

These are the times you can cry out to God and ask Him, Lord, did I do something to cause this change or is it something else going on here?

I love that we can be upfront with Him. I love that He doesn’t look down at us. That He doesn’t form an opinion about us if we have doubts or questions at times.

I want to encourage you today. If you do have doubts or questions, it’s more than OK to go to Him. Be open and honest and tell Him your concerns. He will comfort you; I promise.

Call to Him and He will answer you.  Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-18

Psalm 116:1 (NKJV) 1 I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications.

David shows us the importance of talking to God here in this Psalm.

Some people may think they are not good enough or don’t have the right words. Some may think they don’t know the proper way to address our Heavenly Father, so they hold back and say nothing.

God is waiting to hear from us today. Jesus tells us how to get to Him by using our voices.

We don’t have to wait to go through any other person. We speak directly to God through the precious name of His Son, Jesus.

We don’t have to have the perfect words to say. What we say and how we say it is fine with God. He will listen, and He will hear us.

David was not a perfect man. He had his faults, his sins, just like we all do.

Don’t hold back, thinking we can’t go to Him because we don’t have the right words, or because we have done terrible things and He won’t hear our voice.

Jesus Christ sacrificed His life so we can come to Him. God is saying to us today, “speak to Me in the name of My Son. I am listening. Through Him I will hear your voice”! Amen.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-9-18

Psalm 57:2 (NKJV) 2 I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.

Oh Lord, do you hear me down here? This is what we’d like to ask Him sometimes. We usually don’t, though, because we are afraid to address Him in such a manner.

But understand, God would want us to be respectfully honest with Him. He already knows what we are thinking and feeling.

One may say, “well, if He already knows, then why do we have to say it?”.

Because, it’s not for His benefit, but for ours. When we say something, or confess it with our mouth, what happens? We hear ourselves speak.

It’s important to hear what we are asking for, just as it’s important to hear what God is saying back to us. If we are a believer, a child of God, He absolutely hears our cry in that moment.

One day in the not-too-distant past, I was at the hospital. I kept receiving bad news regarding a family member. It was one thing after another. It was hitting me so hard, all at once. I had gotten to the point where all I could say was, “Oh Lord.”

But even in those two small words, God heard me. He knew what I needed and He answered my cry.

Don’t stop crying out to Him. Keep talking to Him. If we have questions, we need to ask Him. He is listening.

Don’t ever give up on Him answering us back. He is faithful, He is kind and compassionate. And He performs all things for us!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-24-17

Matthew 6:13 (NKJV) 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

As Jesus wrapped up this last part of His discourse on how to pray, He hit on the delicate, yet very relevant subject of temptation and evil. And then He finished by giving God glory and honor. Let’s take a look.

God, I know you are not the tempter. I know that all good things come from you, and you alone.

Give me the strength to turn and walk away from temptation when it tries to entice me. Open my eyes so that I might see temptation for what it is; a snare waiting to capture me and hurt or kill me.

And deliver me, Father, from the enemy of my soul, the evil one who wishes to destroy me and separate me from you forever with sin and darkness. Help me to withstand his schemes and have victory over them.

For your kingdom is above all kingdoms. And you rule and reign over everything, seen and unseen. All power and glory belong to you forever and ever. Amen!

So, there you have it. The model for prayer, set forth by Jesus Himself!

We hope you have enjoyed this short series and that it has helped shed some light on some things that maybe you didn’t previously know, or maybe get you to think about some things you had never really thought about before.

Now, go and pray in power!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-23-17

Matthew 6:12 (NKJV) 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

Forgiveness is a big deal, both being directed to us, and being given by us. And, once again, Jesus peeled away all the mystery about forgiveness and laid it bare, in His usual simplicity. Let’s take a look.

Father, forgive me for what I have done. Forgive me for things I have said against others. Forgive me for things that I have done against you and against those around me.

There is so much I need to be forgiven for, but I understand that forgiveness for my sins and trespasses is dependent upon me forgiving those who have done wrong to me. So help me to forgive others, as you forgive.

I know that I sometimes struggle in this area, so help me and give me strength to make it right. Thank you Father.

Join us again tomorrow the final piece.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-22-17

Matthew 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Give us this day our daily bread.

This single verse is a huge part of our walk with God and will show us where we stand when it comes to trusting Him. Really trusting Him!

Notice that Jesus spoke only about today. Not tomorrow. Not next week or next month! So here it is, broken down. Notice how much our trust is tested in this one very short verse.

Father, give us what we need for today. Supply our needs. You know what they are. You know them all.

Provide for our bodily needs in the food we eat. Give us sustenance.

We’re not concerned with or worried about tomorrow. We are looking only at today. Nothing more and nothing less.

And we know that today is all You want us to be concerned with, because we trust that You have tomorrow in Your hands. And You have told us not to worry about tomorrow.

So we thank You for supplying our needs and taking care of us. You are everything we need!

Tune in again tomorrow for the next segment…

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-21-17

Matthew 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

As we continue to take a look at this lesson Jesus taught, let’s break this down and see what He was really telling us to do and say.

Father, let your kingdom come to the earth.

Let us pray and bring your presence to earth by our words and our actions. Let us be beacons of light in this dark world. Teach us to love those around us like only you can love.

There is so much hurt and pain and you are the great physician Who can heal each and every one of the hurting hearts.

So we ask and declare today, Lord, that whatever we loose and whatever we bind in heaven be done also here on earth.

To be continued…

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-20-17

Matthew 6:9 (NKJV) 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

As Jesus began this discourse, he taught us how to pray.

His goal was not to teach us what to pray. His goal was not to teach us to recite this word for word. And His goal was not to give us a recitation that would act as the go-to verses that we would learn to repeat each day when we wish to talk or communicate with our Father.

Jesus gave us a model that we are to use, teaching us all of the various aspects of addressing our Father in heaven.

So let’s take a look at this particular piece of the model and see what Jesus was saying.

God in heaven. Abba, Father, our mighty Creator and Giver of life, You are holy.

God, you are above everything we see, everything that you created. You are pure and holy. You are everything I need in life. You are my source and my inspiration. I long to worship you and lift you high for the world to see.

Your name is above all names! Your name is powerful and limitless. And I bow before you, surrendering to you with all that I am.

We hope this helps bring understanding and a new perspective to what we commonly call “The Lord’s Prayer”.

More to come…
