Bible Verse of The Day – 4-1-17

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.

We are taught many things growing up. Learning and growing is what it is all about. We grow and become adults, and then we leave home.

Many times we think “oh boy, we are out on our own, and now we have to fend for ourselves.” Yes, we do have to make a living. That’s all part of the plan.

The best part though, is that although we may be on our own in some ways, if we know Christ and we put our trust in Him, He will direct our paths.

So, even though we may be “on our own”, He is right with us. If we don’t understand some things that are going on, He is right there to help bring clarity.

If we don’t know what steps to take that would be good for us, He is right there to show us.

If we’ve messed up and we need to fix some things, He is there to give us a helping hand.

What a wonderful Lord He is! Trust and acknowledge Him. He will direct our paths.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-17

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

We can face some pretty intimidating things during our lifetime. Some things can seem downright impossible to overcome.

But we serve a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or think!

We might look at a situation and think that it is completely impossible. Our heads might never be able to wrap around how we could ever conquer it. But that doesn’t bother or hinder God!

Man might tell us something is impossible. But we need to remember that man never, ever has the final answer. God does!

Luke 18:27 (NKJV) 27 But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

So if you’re facing what seem like impossible odds today, don’t look around. Look up. Look to the One who holds everything in His hands. And give it to Him right here, right now.

And give Him the glory and honor forever.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-2-17

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 121 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

So many times, when we hit tough times or run into a problem, we tend to look everywhere but to God for the answer or the solution.

For some odd reason, we always leave God out until He becomes a last resort. We tend to think of Him only after exhausting all other possible options.

But God wants to change all of that. He wants us to learn and grow to understand that we should be looking to Him first!

Going to God first can be tough to learn when we first start. We get so used to depending on ourselves or others for help that it’s kind of a knee-jerk reaction each time we face a tough situation or circumstance.

But the longer we take before surrendering to God and asking Him for His help and His solution, the longer it will be until we have the right answers to our questions and the right solutions for our problems.

The key is that we learn to put God first in absolutely everything we do and every choice that we make. As we learn to do this, we will find ourselves trusting Him more and more and find ourselves in less problematic situations.

And when we do run into something that requires help, we will instinctively turn and look to God for that help, instead of spinning our own wheels or running to our friends.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-27-17

Jeremiah 42:6 (NKJV) 6 Whether it is pleasing or displeasing, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we send you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.”

I had to learn in life that trusting God means spending time with Him and waiting for His answer. It also means sharing all those things that are uncomfortable to admit or even talk about at times, and letting Him give me His answer or solution to my situation. Whether I liked it or not, I had to obey.

Trusting God is an exciting way to live. He loves to fix things, turning them around, making them work and bringing forth GOOD! He brings peace and happiness in the midst of a storm.

He keeps us going down a road of constant learning and growing while His protection is all around us. It doesn’t mean things won’t come against us. It just simply means that when they do, He is our SHIELD!

Psalm 33:20 (NKJV) 20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.

He loves our conversations and the time we spend with Him. He waits for us and looks forward to sharing our days with Him.

He is very personable and He doesn’t want us to think that our cares and concerns are less than those of other people. The things that matter to us, MATTER to Him. And the things that matter to Him should matter to us.

He wants us to come to Him for all things big, small or in between. He loves when we acknowledge what we have done wrong and with all sincerity ask for forgiveness and help.

We should not feel like we are disturbing Him at any time. He is there for us. He is our HELP.

Psalm 124:8 (NKJV) 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

He looks forward to our songs, our praises, our tears, our fears and our thankfulness.

Go to Him today and open up. He is faithful to meet us where we’re at.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-21-17

Matthew 7:24 (NKJV) 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock…

There are many things that we can build the foundation of our lives on. The world offers much when it comes to this.

Philosophies. Relationships. Money. Social Status. Career Success. Etc.

Unfortunately, though, those are all like foundations made of sand. They will last for a while. But when the storms and floods come, and the wind and waves beat against them, they will crumble and disintegrate. And our house will fall into the sea and be washed away.

Jesus tells us that we need to be wise and build our house on the rock! So how do we do that? How do we build a house with such a strong foundation?

By putting our faith, hope and trust in Him and doing what He tells us to do.

Jesus Himself told us in the verse above that if we hear what he says and then we do it, He likens us to the wise man who built his house on the rock.

And if we are like that wise man, when the storms of life come, our house will remain standing.

Matthew 7:25 (NKJV) 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-14-17

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

God supplies all our needs! Amen. By who? Christ Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.

He is there for us in so many ways and on so many occasions. It doesn’t matter if it is small or something big, He will supply our need.

The questions is, are we ready for His supply, for His provision? This is a very important question and not to be taken lightly.

When the Lord supplies a need He will do it in a way that will be good for us.

He’s not going to be like the person that just gives to us because we are kicking, screaming, giving the silent treatment or guilt treatment, etc. It’s not going to happen this way.

God is very concerned about the things that are going to be GOOD for us, long lasting and effective, in a way that will draw us closer to Him and teach us to continue to trust Him even more.

Sometimes His way or His answer for us will be exactly what we were thinking. Other times it may not be that way. We may have to take a step into the “unknown”. And that will cause us to be even more trusting, even more disciplined and even more stretched with our faith.

Don’t get discouraged if we are in a place of the unknown. Don’t get scared and want to turn back to the familiar. And absolutely don’t try to talk it or think it through.

Simply walk. And Jesus will lead us step by step, one day at time, through it all. And He will supply all our needs.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-13-16

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!

Are you tired today? Be still and know that He is God.

Are you mourning a loss? Be still and know that He is God.

Are you feeling alone and left out? Be still and know that He is God.

Do you feel like you just can’t go on any longer? Be still and know that He is God.

Are you celebrating a victory in your life? Be still and know that He is God.

It doesn’t matter what season of our life we’re in right now. It doesn’t matter if we’re at the top of the mountain or in the deepest valley.

It doesn’t matter if we’re laying flat on our back, looking up, or if we’re soaring with our hands raised high.

The most important thing we can do is to be still and know that He is God.

When we celebrate, He should be the reason we’re celebrating. When we’re struggling, He needs to be the One we look to for strength, wisdom and understanding.

In all we do, our accomplishments will never mean anything until we sit still and know that He is God. Without Him we would all be nothing. But with Him we can do all things.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-16

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.

Trusting God can give us rest. Rest from planning and trying to figure things out based on our own knowledge and understanding.

Let us not confuse resting with being lazy and unproductive.

Trusting God and resting in that which He tells us to do is a very good thing and healthy for both the natural and the spiritual man.

When God says “trust ME”, we can have peace, knowing that He will work on our behalf and He will guide us in what we need to do on our end. We will stop dwelling on those things that we have NO control over. We will stop trying to force things to happen. We will be OK with letting God do what only He can do and wants to do for us.

God wants to do the impossible for us. He wants us to experience HIM in a personal way, by leading us through challenges and difficult times and teaching us to see things through more than just our natural eyes and natural understanding.

Will we trust Him?

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-3-16

Matthew 6:28-32 (NKJV) 28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

Hoarding. It’s something that most of us never think about. But what is it, and what are its implications in the life of a believer?

Hoard: to accumulate money, food, or the like, in a hidden or carefully guarded place for preservation, future use, etc.

Hoarding is contrary to God’s word. Why? Because it essentially, at its deepest root, shows a lack of trust in God’s ability to provide for us. Things that are hoarded are there, many times, “just in case”. Just in case God doesn’t supply our needs.

There is a delicate balance between hoarding and using our resources wisely or being responsible and diligent with our finances and physical resources. God does teach us to be diligent and responsible with what He blesses us with. But that doesn’t mean that we need to cling to and hold on to everything that we have.

We are to hold onto some of it. But we are to give some of it too. And it’s only when we learn to hear God’s voice and discern His instructions to us that we can properly handle the things we have.

And when we do that, when we start to let go of some of those precious things that we hold so dearly to, only then will we see God bless us again and again. Sharing our blessings with others opens the door for more blessings to flow into our lives.

So as God has blessed us with things, whether it’s finances or other material possessions, it’s imperative that we learn, not just to hoard them and hold onto them, but to learn to share them with others who are in need.

We need to trust Him. We need to share when He says to share. We need to help those who are in need. And then we can watch as He replenishes the “supply closet” that we willingly shared with others who He led us to share it with.

Be wise with our resources. Hold when He says when to hold. And share when He says to share.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-27-16

Genesis 17:17 (NKJV) 17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

This is something to be excited about! Abraham having a child at the age of 100 and Sarah at 90. That is truly amazing!

When God tells us what He wants to do with us or for us, it can sometimes blow our minds and maybe even cause us to burst out laughing. Not in a bad way or in a mocking way, but just in a WOW way, bringing great JOY to us.

Sometimes it is so exciting that we want to help move it along more quickly, and we get feeling like maybe we need to do something to help. Or we get feeling anxious or fearful that it may never happen, so we try to make sure it does.

Just a little reminder; God is faithful! He knows what needs to happen before it comes to pass.

Some of us may need to be corrected in some areas.

Some of us may need our circumstances to change before our answer can come.

Some of us may need to let go of certain things, maybe even friends or relationships, etc., before God can complete His work in our situation.

Some of us may need to get our priorities in order first, before He can make His move.

And all of these things can take time to happen.

God knows what needs to be done. He has the timing and the plan in His hands. Instead of trying to make it happen on our own, we need to be prayerful, watchful and follow His steps, every day. Don’t worry or think about when and how it’s going to happen. Just let it come to pass.

As we trust Him and do this we will see Him move on our behalf.
