Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-18 – Wind and Waves

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of our wonderful savior, Jesus. 

The apostle Peter was the one we all know for walking on the water, as Jesus had urged him to do. Peter defied gravity and stepped onto the surface of the water, walking toward Jesus. 

He did well until he saw the wind and the waves. 

In today’s video we talk about wind and waves, and how they impact our lives. 

Please click to watch the video now. 

Most times the wind and waves in our lives aren’t actual wind and waves. Instead, they are the things that we come up against in our everyday lives that try to get us to take our eyes off God. 

Please click to watch the video now. 

As long as we keep our eyes on God, we can do anything He asks us to do. But the moment we begin to look at the wind and the waves, we lose our focus, and we will begin to sink.

We do hope you will take a few minutes to watch this video. It’s fun, informative and eye-opening for all of us. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-18

Psalm 9:10 (NKJV) 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Knowing that we have Someone to turn to is very comforting.

We have Someone to listen to us, Someone to hold us and carry us through this life when things can sometimes get complicated. We are truly blessed with having Him by our side at all times!

He is our Lord, our Savior, our Christ.

When life gets hard, know that it’s OK to cry. It’s OK to have a moment of time when we can just throw ourselves in Papa’s arms and ask Him to carry us through. We reach a point where we just say, ”I’ll do what you say. Just lead me”.

When these times come upon us we can run away from God, or we can run to Him. We can be discouraged and depressed, or we can get excited knowing that we have Someone to help us!

Don’t give up when faced with trials. This is our time to rise above whatever it is that we face, with God’s help!!

It’s our moment in life to watch Him shine as we rest fully in Him.

Psalm 18:1 (NKJV) 18 I will love You, O Lord, my strength.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-18-18

Psalm 33:16 (NKJV) 16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

We can put our trust in many things, but they will not be what saves us from our troubles.

How many of us have put our trust in our jobs to bring us a life of comfort, a life of stability and material blessings?

How is that working for us? Are we getting the things that we long so badly for? Is it bringing us comfort? Will our current position at work even last?

We don’t know for sure. But, we still trust that it will. We have nothing to prove that it will last even until tomorrow. But we live like it will last forever.

This is the wrong way for us to be thinking. This kind of thinking is why men do not look to or lean on God as much as we ought to.

We are deceived in thinking we have it all wrapped up, all under control. We think we know what we are doing, but at any given moment things can change, and where are we left?

Some people will be mad at God when this happens. Some will keep trying on their own to get ahead. And some will just give up on life. And that is exactly what the devil wants. He deceives us in our thinking and then leaves us to drown in our own sorrow, worry and fear.

We want to share with you today the way God has called us all to think.

He doesn’t want us to put our trust in anyone or anything else but Him. If we give Him our lives, He will help us get the stability that we all long for; a life where we can enjoy each day. Even if trials come, we know that God has our back.

You see, life should not be as hard as we tend to make it.

Yes, we will have trials. But if our trust is in knowing that God will help us through everything, and we follow His steps, we will find ourselves rejoicing in the good things that He will open our eyes to see even at times when we can’t see past our problems.

Rejoicing? In hard times? Yes! With God, even through the hardest of times, we will find joy!

How do we get to this place of living this way? One step, one experience at a time.

Let’s start today by trusting Him with this day. Get up out of bed and look in the mirror. Speak to ourselves and say, “Today, we are going to listen to the Holy Spirit. When He speaks, we say, “yes”.

Then we do whatever it may be that he asks us to do, to the best of our ability. It could be just little promptings here and there throughout the day, to not do something that we normally do.

It could be someone who needs something and they ask us to help. It could be to take a different route to work, school or even to drop off the kids. It could simply be Him telling us to be still and quiet today, not say as much. Or maybe to take a rest.

He may or may not show us right away why He is asking us to do certain things. But that’s OK.

We need to trust that He has a good reason for why He says what He says to do.

He will teach us how to hear Him and to obey, even in the littlest things. Wait and trust Him for His way and promptings.

Psalm 33:20-21(NKJV) 20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. 21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-18

Psalm 91:1-2 (NKJV) 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Many times, we go through way more stress and struggle than is necessary.

Life will always throw stuff at us that can be hard to bear, hard to go through. But we can get through it without getting so beat up all the time. It’s all in how we choose to face it that determines whether we come through it unscathed or not.

God has given each of us a secret place. A place where we go for refuge. No, this isn’t the same as the “safe places” that we hear so much about today, where people hide from their problems, instead of facing them and fixing them.

This is a secret place. It’s a place where God calls us so we can spend time with Him and commune with Him, one on one. And in this secret place, as we draw near to God, He encourages us, equips us and teaches us.

He teaches us to trust in Him, no matter what we face. So that, instead of running away from our problems and the things we come up against that are less than pleasant, we learn to face them with Him by our side, guiding us through each and every step by His spirit.

He is our refuge, our fortress, where we go to rest and replenish our spirits, so we can face our battles refreshed and renewed, ready for victory!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-27-18

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.

Be encouraged today. Life is wonderful! We serve an awesome and mighty God who cares for us.

Things may not be perfect for us right now, but nothing stays the same forever. Change comes, new seasons come and breakthroughs happen. God is faithful!

We are praying for you, and we know that God will turn your situation around as you obey His voice in the decisions that need to be made.

If we walk closely with Him, our life will be blessed! For His yoke is easy and His burden is light. We will see His mighty hand working in ways we could never imagine. Just follow.

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

When we are walking with Him, there will be times when we want to jump out of bed in the morning, with great anticipation. Because we know that our Father in Heaven is taking care of every detail, and He will guide our steps to do whatever our part is in it. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-4-17

Acts 2:25 (NKJV) 25 For David says concerning Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

No matter what is hitting us right now, loss of income, loss of a relationship, loss of health, loss of a family member, loss of position, etc., God is at our right hand if we lean on Him.

Our situation cannot and will not shake us if we don’t give in to it. It may try, and it may feel like it is winning at times. But if we stand and we look to God, the One who saves us, the One who lifts us up, the One who will get us through, we will not be shaken!

Get into that secret place and hold on to the ONE who will keep us standing on solid ground.

Psalm 91:1 (NKJV) 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-30-16

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Be still.

Those are probably two of the hardest words we will ever be told by God to carry out.

Being still when we’re going through trials requires that we trust God 100%. It takes a lot of faith to sit still when things are crumbling around us. But being still is what God says to do.

He wants us to be still so we don’t get frantic and rely solely on our intellect or our logical mind to try to fix everything. Instead, He wants us to have faith and trust Him to help us.

And He wants us to listen for His voice, through the Holy Spirit, so He can tell us what to do.

Most times, our minds are so busy trying to come up with solutions to our problems that we can’t hear Him when he does speak to us. This is why He tells us to be still.

It’s easy, when everything is going well, for us to say that we trust God. But when things get difficult, and the rubber meets the road, that’s when we get tested. That’s when “walking in faith” can be the most difficult.

But it’s then, during those trying times, that we need our faith even more.

Living and walking by faith takes time and practice to adjust to. It doesn’t just happen overnight because we want it to. But as we begin to trust God and be still in little things, we will find it easier and easier to do in bigger things.

So start today. Trust Him and be still. Know that He is God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-14-16

Isaiah 12:2 (NKJV) 2 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’”

I will trust and not be afraid!

Trust can be very fragile sometimes. It takes time to build trust in someone or something. And sometimes things can happen that causes our trust to falter.

With God, though, we don’t ever have to worry about Him breaking our trust. He is trustworthy in absolutely everything. He will never fail us or let us down.

There will be times when we might be disappointed in how something turns out, but that should never cause us to lose our trust in Him. We just have to know that no matter what happens in our lives, we are secure in Him. And when tough times do come, He will walk us through them.

Many of us say we trust Him but when things get tough or hard to understand, we turn our backs and rely on our own understanding. This can happen to just about anyone, regardless of our spiritual maturity. But as we grow in Christ, the likelihood of it happening decreases as we learn to see things through different eyes and from a different perspective.

Our trust in Him should never be based on the conditions or circumstances in our lives. Many times, we are where we are due to choices we’ve made at some point. And even if things befall us that we think we had no fault in, we still need to keep our trust in Him strong and not let doubts creep in and steal our faith.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

So no matter what comes along, keep trusting Him. Don’t let the enemy of your soul convince you otherwise.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-21-16

Philippians 4:11 (NKJV) 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

Comparing our lives with others can cause us to miss things God is doing for us in the state or place that we are currently in.

Maybe we want what others have more than what God has for us, even though He knows what is good for us.

For instance, if we hear of someone getting a pay raise at their job and we think, “boy we could sure use that right about now. Why do they get it and we are sitting here suffering?”. Or someone we know just gets a new house, or new car and we think, “I wish that was me. I’ve been praying for years and I’m still in the same place”.

This is comparing what we have to what someone else has and we have no idea what they went through to get to that point. Maybe they also prayed for years and went through some serious struggles to get there. Only God knows.

Everyone is in a different place. Some are in a season of feast and some are in a season of famine. And some are in between.

It can be very hard if we are in the time of famine and watching others going through the feast season. But know that as we remain content with our own lives and be thankful for what we do have and where we are at, our feast will come as well. Especially if we keep the right attitude.

God brings breakthrough and answered prayers at different times to each one of us, as we trust Him, believe and keep focused with the right attitude.

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

If we struggle with keeping the right attitude, ask God to help. It’s not an easy thing to go through on our own. Being content in some seasons takes work, effort and learning to look at things in a whole new light. It doesn’t necessarily come naturally.

It takes constant trust and accountability to God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-6-15

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Some of us are facing some serious challenges in our lives right now.

In fact, the mountain in front of you might seem insurmountable. They loom over us like a black cloud that will suck the life out of us.

But Jesus has told us to be of good cheer. Why? Because He overcame the world. He overcame insurmountable odds Himself, for us.

He told us that we would face tribulations in this world. And it’s a fact that we do. Nobody will argue with this for one second.

But as we place our faith and trust in Him, He gives us what we need to overcome those obstacles.

Don’t get this wrong. Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we think they should. Sometimes the end result of something isn’t at all what we would have wanted.

But in it all and through it all, God holds us up. And, if we let Him, He will give us His peace.

Trust Him, children of God. If there is anyone worthy of our trust, it’s our Savior and Redeemer.
