Bible Verse of The Day – 10-19-24

Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) 2 When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

We live in a world that is full of self-absorbed philosophies and vain deceit.

If we are to remain humble, we must pay attention and work on it daily.

Here are a few things we can keep active in our walk with God that will help us remain humble.

Esteem (think of) others as better than ourselves.

Look out for the interest of others.

Continue to grow in hearing God and obeying His word.

Obeying the things He places on our hearts will not only keep us humble, but will also keep us walking in His wisdom.

What are the fruits of living a humble life?

It can improve relationships and make us more empathetic toward others. It also shows maturity on our part.

When we recognize our weaknesses and take responsibility for them, when we listen to others and admit when we are wrong, when we find it in ourselves to serve others without looking for something in return, this is evidence of us allowing God to build our character and make us more Christ-like.

Walking in humility is not something we can fake or mimic. It must come from the heart to make it meaningful.

The older I become the more I like being around humble people. They are real, and most of them have been through so much in their lives that when they talk they are full of not just stories, but experience, sound words, and wisdom.

This tells me that going through things in life isn’t always as bad as we’d like to claim it is, but can help us learn valuable lessons.

It can keep us in a good place in our walk with God.

Remember today, that with the humble is wisdom! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-27-24

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

To push aside our natural intellect and understanding to allow Him to guide us through our daily activities by His Spirit is very much humbling.

For this purpose, He sent us a Helper, the Holy Spirit.

What more could we ask for than to have the Holy Spirit lead us through this life? I think outside of salvation it is the next best thing for believers!

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

He will lead us through our daily activities and the most difficult times we will ever walk through.

With His provision we will come through it every time if we follow His guidance and be disciplined in holding tight to His plan.

Reaching out to Him every time we need to make a decision may seem like we are incapable of living our own life.

Quite frankly, it is just the opposite.

It takes courage on a whole new level when we forego our understanding and let Him lead us, guide us or tell us what to do. It is a very humbling endeavor to learn to trust Him in everything.

It is not easy at first. But as we continue to walk in such a way, it does get easier. And our life gets much better than we would expect.

Living humbly in the sight of the Lord is the opposite of how the world may say we should live.

This is exactly why we cannot follow the examples of the world. If we were to look at those the world lifts up and calls examples, what would we see in them?

Pride, vanity, greed, perversion, and a lack of love; all things that are against Christ.

What does the word say about those who are against Him?

Matthew 12:30 (NKJV) 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Let us walk in humility and follow His steps, through which we will bring unity to the places in which we tread.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-4-23

Luke 14:11 (NKJV) 11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Being humble simply means that we don’t think of ourselves as being better than anyone else. And that is a good thing.

Holding ourselves accountable to God will nip this right in the bud. But if we don’t stay accountable to Him, pride can very easily creep in. And it will not be good.

Pride opens the door to destruction.

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Are we walking around with a haughty spirit, and wondering why we are not moving forward?

Maybe we have been waiting and waiting on some answers, but we have been prideful in many ways. God cannot exalt us if we already hold ourselves up higher than others.

It’s time to come down off that ladder and start by acknowledging that we aren’t any better than anyone else no matter what we possess, no matter what we’ve accomplished and no matter where we stand.

Let God deliver us from arrogance, pride and a haughty spirit today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-8-22

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

This is one of the most crucial things we can learn to do as a believer. Being sincerely humble in His sight will cause things to change.

It can’t be fake. It can’t be temporary. It has to be sincere and consistent.

As believers of our Lord and Savior, we must understand the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to help us remain in such a place in our heart.

Walking in humility is letting go of things we once had control of, and allowing God to teach us a whole new way of doing things.

We let Him be our leader. We talk to Him and ask Him to guide our steps.

We have seen some awesome things take place because we have allowed God to be the leader of this ministry and over our personal lives as well.

Our heart is to serve Him and do it His way. We don’t chase after our desires any longer. We long to see His desires come to pass.

Tremendous things take place when we walk out humility. When it is functioning and moving in our hearts, God will touch every area of our lives.

We love you all dearly, and we are believing that God is touching your heart right now.

Let Him lead us toward what we need to let go of, and let Him have it fully. Follow Him through, and our situation will change. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-20-19

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Humble – lower in dignity or importance. Not looking at ourselves and thinking we are any better than someone else, but loving them and treating them the way we would want to be treated.

It’s easy to get carried away with ourselves sometimes. Especially when we begin looking at our wealth, position, title and the things we have built up for ourselves over time.

Looking at these things can sometimes be the culprit, causing us to think and act proudly.

One day while talking to a businessman, he asked what we did. We shared about the ministry work, and other things we do alongside it. We told him we don’t have a lot of material things or a lot of extra money. However, we have everything we need and we love what we do every day.

We get up in the mornings with excitement, ready to face a brand-new day. We look forward with anticipation toward the things God will do with us and through us. And many times we find ourselves singing throughout the day as we do our work.

Much to our surprise, the man we were talking to said, “that is success! It takes people working most of their lives to get there, and some never make it. But you are living it. You are living the dream, because you love what you are doing every day.”

Praise be to God! We had no idea. We weren’t ever searching for it. It just showed up as we gave God our days and truly wanted what He wanted for us. And we wouldn’t change it for all the wealth or material things of this World!

God is good! As we humble ourselves and follow Him, He will lift us up and we won’t give it much thought because success for us is not in the material things we have, but walking in the things God has for us to do, while focusing on staying close to Him.

In all things, remain humble.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-5-18

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Humble (verb): to lower yourself (or someone else) in dignity or importance

Being humble is a big part of surrendering. If we are to truly surrender ourselves to God, we can’t do so if we are proud or haughty. We can’t do so if we have a high opinion of ourselves.

God has to come first, and we have to put ourselves beneath Him. And in many cases, He will also ask us to put ourselves beneath others. We can’t serve someone that we think we are better than.

If we need a perfect example of humility, all we need to do is look at Jesus. He was humble in every aspect, even in surrendering His life willingly, knowing that He had the power to do otherwise.

Mark 10:45 (NKJV) 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Pride is the opposite of what God has called us to. Pride is shameful and will keep us from fulfilling the call of God on our lives. Pride will destroy us if we don’t get a handle on it and remove it from our lives.

Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

So, if we desire to be lifted up, we need to let God be the One to do the lifting. He has promised to do so if we will just humble ourselves.

And when God does something, He does it right the first time. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-16-18

Matthew 18:4 (NKJV) 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 

Who will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 

This is a question that the disciples asked Jesus. They were trying to figure out which of them would be the greatest. 

Wow! When Jesus heard their question, He wasted no time in putting them in their places and setting the record straight! 

Jesus had them bring a small child to Him. He told the disciples that whoever humbles themselves like a little child will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. This was definitely not what they had expected to hear. 

God and man think differently. Man looks at outward things, while God looks at inward things. 

We see accomplishments, while God sees our heart and its motives. 

Humility is a hard thing for many of us. We have a tough time getting past our own skills, talents and accomplishments. But we need to remember that it was God himself who gave us those very same skills and talents! 

Without Him, we can do nothing. 

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 

It’s important that we keep God first. He will teach us to be humble in everything that we do.
