Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-21

Isaiah 31:1 (NKJV) 1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the Lord!

People put their trust in many things.

And as we watch the world deteriorate before our very eyes, we see people moving further and further away from trusting God and putting their trust more heavily in man and governments.

While this is extremely frustrating to watch, it is to be expected to some degree because of the season in which we live.

God’s word has told us that this would happen. He spells it out plainly in many ways.

But know this; putting our trust in anyone other than God himself is a slippery slope that will ultimately lead to destruction.

The season in which we are living requires that we have discernment, and that we are diligent in our efforts to stay in tune with His spirit.

Doing so gives us an inside edge to see things that others may not see, and to make choices and decisions based not on intellect, but on God-given wisdom and understanding.

God comes first in all things. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.

There is none like Him on the earth below or in the heavens above.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-8-21

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Sometimes God’s plans can be scary when we see them beginning to play out in our lives.

Our carnal minds can’t comprehend what’s happening. We may even question God and what He’s doing.

As children of God, we often seek Him and ask Him to guide us. But when He does, we don’t always recognize it. Especially at the onset.

Because it’s something new, we deem it as foreign. And if we’re not careful, we may even attribute it to the enemy, thinking that it’s bad for us.

But this is where our faith in God comes in. We have to test what we’re seeing and hearing, and then trust Him, allowing the Holy Spirit to show us what’s truly happening.

And we have to remember that God knows better than we do when it comes to guiding our steps and providing for us.

So, when we see things happening that seem out of the ordinary, or a bit scary because they’re unfamiliar, we need to let Him be God and do what He does best.

Remember; His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-2-21

Daniel 3:29 (NKJV)  29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”

God revealed Himself to king Nebuchadnezzer by delivering these three men, Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, after they had been thrown into a fiery furnace.

They came out with not even a hair singed on any of them. And they did not even smell like smoke!

This made a big impression on the king. He and many others saw God move that day.

What an amazing moment! I love how the King asked, “didn’t we put three men in the furnace? But, I see four, and the fourth is like the Son of God”.

Daniel 3:25 (NKJV) 25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

I would have been shouting at that moment! Woohoo!!

Why did God deliver them? Because they trusted Him. Because they were loyal to Him, and because they would not bow and worship a statue. They stood their ground.

Let us ponder on this today and ask ourselves; would we have been willing to stand up for what we believe, knowing that if we did, we may suffer severe consequences?

It’s hard to imagine that someday we may face such decisions. But know that if that day ever comes, like it did for Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, God is our deliverer.

Be brave and don’t cave in. He will be there with us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-30-21

Hebrews 13:6 (NKJV) 6 So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

I love God with all my heart. And I don’t say that lightly.

Every day that goes by proves to me more and more that He is our one true source of hope.

No matter what I see happening, whether on a personal level or on a global scale, God is my Helper. And because He is my helper, I will not fear the things that I see.

Life can be scary for those who are apart from God. And I will admit that even with God, it can be pretty challenging sometimes, causing us to shrink back on occasion as unexpected things confront us.

But God never shrinks back. And because He dwells within us, we shouldn’t shrink back either.

Sometimes that’s easier said than done, but there is a reality in that statement that we, as believers, need to embrace boldly in our lives.

That still might not always make it easy for us, but it should give us courage to stand when we need to stand, fight when we need to fight and look not to our own intellect for answers, but to the Spirit of God, whom Jesus called our Helper.

And, as we are told in Romans, if God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

So, when we face the hard things, we need to stand strong in our faith, and look to Jesus, the author and finisher of that faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-19-21

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.

As each day goes by, I live by this scripture more and more.

We are living in a time where we absolutely need to trust God 100%. There’s no other way for us to move ahead and be who He wants us to be if we’re not trusting Him in absolutely everything.

I wrestle constantly with what we’re seeing. I watch evil in plain sight. It is blatant. It is in your face. It makes no effort to hide.

But no matter what we see, I know that God’s providence will play out and that His plans are better than my plans or your plans.

I will admit that I would love nothing more than to wake up one morning and see that He has swept His hand across the globe and taken care of everything that we see happening.

But that is not my choice to make. It is His. And His ways are much higher than ours.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

He sees everything; the big picture. We see only in part.

So, I will lean on His understanding, not mine. I will walk by His plans, not mine. And when I’m having one of those moments where I feel like I can’t take seeing one more evil plot carried out in plain sight, I will surrender it to Him and trust Him even more.

In the meantime, I will continue to stand on His word, His truth and freedom in Jesus Christ.

I invite you to stand with me and watch as God carries out His perfect plan.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-8-21

Psalm 37:5 (NKJV) 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

Over the last 10 years I have learned a lot about trusting God no matter what a situation looks like.

Just like you, we have walked through some pretty tough situations over the years.

For us, it began around 2012. The period between 2012 and 2016 was gut-wrenching.

That 4-5 year period made us feel like our guts were being ripped out.

In reality, though, it was our pride and many other things that were being ripped out. We just didn’t know it at the time.

Hindsight is always interesting, to be sure.

During those times of extreme duress, we learned who we were and where our trust really was.

Yes, we trusted God. But we learned that we didn’t trust Him nearly as much as we thought we did. And He was in the process of showing us what it really meant to trust Him with everything about our lives.

As we learned this, things started falling back into place.

Then along came 2020. And the rug got pulled from under the feet of the entire world.

This time, though, we leaned on God from the outset and He carried us through, as He does so very well.

What’s really interesting is that the 37th Psalm was written by David, as he questioned God about why it seemed that corrupt, evil people most often went without punishment for their sins and their crimes.

Ultimately, David came to understand that God is sovereign, and that He works things out in His way and His timing.

And so, as I have watched the incredible, very visible rise of evil during 2020 and now into 2021, I know that it is in God’s hands.

In 2021, God is once again teaching me more and more about trusting Him, especially when things don’t look the way I would like them to.

I am to pray, to fast when He asks me to, and to do battle in the spiritual realm, all the while trusting Him and His ways. In this, I know that evil will be repaid, and justice will be done when and how He sees fit.

It’s not always easy to surrender my thinking, my opinions and my feelings to His providence, but I know it’s the only way that I can learn to truly trust Him in all things.

Bible Verse of the Day – 2-1-21

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.’

I live in New England, where the winters are cold and snow falls from time to time.

I have lived here all my life. I was born here and have never lived anywhere else. So, you’d think that I would love the winters.

But I don’t.

Over the years, I have grown to despise the cold and snow. I very much prefer warmth over cold. I prefer to be able to go outside to walk, go fishing, spend time at the range practicing my shooting skills and enjoying the outdoors in general.

We have considered moving south, where it is warm all year. But we have never felt the release by God to do that. So, we stay put for now.

Today, as I write this, it is cold and snowing.

I find this oddly symbolic. Let me explain.

On this day, there is a very dark presence in the spiritual atmosphere.

That presence is strong. It is foreboding. It taunts.

It is the culmination of decades of activity by some very dark players, both in the natural, and in the spiritual realm.

This presence causes many to fall into despair and question the very foundations of their faith.

Now, let me get back to snow, and why I mentioned it earlier.

Even though I don’t like snow much, I see the snow that’s falling today as being very symbolic.

Snow is pure and it is white. It gives the colorless winter landscapes here in New England a fresh new look, covering up all of the gray, brown, dead-looking trees.

It’s like a sign of life and purity in the midst of a season of death.

You see, God has a way of speaking to us that we might miss if we’re not careful and vigilant to see it or hear it.

He is saying, “I’ve got this. This is not the end. It is the beginning. Follow me as I lead. Keep your eyes on Me. I will show you great and mighty things.”

We need to trust Him in all things, even when what we see with our eyes might not look the way we think it should.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-5-20

Nahum 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.

I love this reminder today.

He, the Lord, is good! Amen.

When we are in trouble, He is good. But I like what it says after that. I find it very important.

“He knows those who trust in Him.”

In other words, we cannot fake it. We either trust Him or we don’t. We can not one day say, “Oh, Lord I trust you with everything”, and then the next day say, “things are getting shaky Lord, I’m skipping the trusting part for a while.”

No. We either do or we don’t.

What does His word promise us if we do trust Him?

He, the Lord, is our STRONGHOLD! Amen.

The definition of stronghold is: a place that has been fortified so as to protect it against attack.

Our protection is in trusting Him.

How many need this today?

Things have been very difficult. Attacks are wearing us out. They are right here in our midst.

Sometimes we can hardly breathe we are so troubled. We don’t need to run or even hide. God’s got this.

Two words for you to hold onto today; TRUST HIM!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-12-20

Numbers 33:52-53 (NKJV) 52 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places; 53 you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.

God is a God of promises. He promises His people that they will possess certain things. And He is very specific with naming those things.

And His people love this.

But there is a part of this that we often overlook. When God tells us to possess something that He has promised us, there is very often a battle on our part in order to actually take possession of whatever it is that God promised us.

That’s right. We have to fight for it.

And that part can be a bit daunting for us.

This is the very part that got the Israelites into a heap of trouble, because they began to doubt God when they learned that they would have to fight to inhabit the land that God had promised them.

What we need to remember, though, is that God doesn’t just toss us into the ring and say “fight your own battles”.

On the contrary, He fights with us. And as He leads us in our fight, He gives us very specific instructions to follow that will assure us of our victory. We just have to be sure to follow His leading.

We may still incur bumps and bruises. We may get injured in the process. And we may come out of it with scars. Victory frequently comes at a price. But it is always worth it.

And when God is our Commander in Chief, He will always lead us the way we should go.
