Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-22

Job 42:10 (NKJV) 10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Job had been through quite an ordeal.

He had lost his family, his possessions and his health. And to top it off, his wife and friends were giving him very bad advice.

Job had spent a fair amount of time speaking words about God that were not favorable. He demanded an audience with God so he could question God on some things that were bothering him.

Some of those things included questioning God about the way He handles injustice, and the evil that he had seen play out over his years.

Ultimately, God had come to Job and corrected Job’s incorrect assumptions and ideas. And Job repented.

God also scolded Job’s friends for their foolish words and horrible advice for Job.

Here is a key thing we can learn from what transpired.

God told Job’s friend, Eliphaz, that he and his other friends had aroused God’s wrath against them because they had spoken incorrectly about Him. And then He told them to make a very specific sacrifice and let Job pray for them, “lest I deal with you according to your folly”.

Eliphaz and his friends obeyed God, as did Job, who then prayed for his friends and saved them from God’s wrath.

Because of Job’s repentant heart, and his obedience to God, God restored what Job had lost, and increased it.

And while some may focus on the fact that Job’s possessions were doubled, that’s not truly what’s important.

What is important is that Job repented and obeyed God. And it was this that caused God to restore Job’s losses.

Finally, it’s interesting to note that the words used in the original text actually said that God “turned the captivity of Job”, meaning that God released Job from the captivity of his situation. And then He restored his fortunes.

The key takeaway from all of this?

Stay humble. Repent. Trust in God’s sovereignty.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-22

Hebrews 6:15 (NLT) 15 Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.

Oh, what we can learn from Abraham!

Many times over the years I have heard people refer to “the patience of Job”.

But I have never heard anyone mention the patience of Abraham!

In reality, it was Job’s faith that brought him through his ordeal; his battle with the enemy and the bodily attacks he endured.

Abraham, on the other hand, had patience.

When God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation, Abraham was 75 years old (Genesis 12:1-4).

By the time Isaac, the child that God had promised him, was born, Abraham was 100 years old. Now that’s patience!

Don’t get it wrong; Abraham was far from perfect. And his wife, Sarah, was just as bad, as she encouraged Abraham to have a child with her maidservant after waiting 10 years or so.

In the end, though, God was faithful as He always is, and Sarah conceived a son in her old age. And Abraham held on for that promise, knowing that God would somehow make His promises come to pass.

Let’s try to put ourselves in Abraham’s shoes for a minute or two.

How would we have handled his situation? Would we have endured long enough to allow God to carry out His plan?

Many of us don’t want to wait 25 minutes, never mind 25 years. But as we mature in Christ, we usually learn that God’s word is true, and His promises are worth holding onto because He is faithful.

And with our maturity, we begin to understand that God’s timing is almost never the same as ours. That’s the biggest thing we can learn when it comes to trusting God and waiting on Him.

Trust God. Wait on Him. It’s not necessarily easy. But it’s God’s plan and His way that we need to follow, not ours!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-23-22

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.”

When things go wrong, the storm has hit and we are laying on our backs looking up, trying to clean up the messes, remember Who’s we are.

Don’t look at it all at once. Start with one day at a time. Sometimes even one hour at a time.

It’s not easy, and no one said that this life would be. Jesus said it all when He talks about tribulations. But He does end it on a good note.

He has overcome and so will we!

Maybe we’ve been through some things and we hurt from it. Maybe we are deeply scarred.

Don’t let the joy be lost. Choose to let God help us laugh again and to shine bright.

It may not happen immediately. But over time we will heal and find the strength to smile again.

Laughter will fill our hearts once again and we will have a testimony to share with others that may bring encouragement and victory in a dark season.

Look up today. Our help comes from the Lord, our Overcomer!

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 1 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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-22

Psalm 19:14 (NKJV) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

I truly enjoy reading and studying God’s word. With each bit of new understanding I gain, I am drawn closer and closer to Him.

I have learned that the deeper mysteries of the word really draw me in and help me mature as a believer.

But sometimes I like to reflect and meditate on some of the most foundational truths. They help shore up my faith and keep me grounded.

This scripture is one of those.

Specifically, those last five words really sum up who God is to me; “my strength and my Redeemer”.

And I especially like the Hebrew word for strength literally means “rock”.

That is what God is. He is my Rock.

He is who I cling to every minute of every day.

Why?

Because He is the only One who can be counted on day after day to be stable and unchanging.

In Him there is no variation or shadow of turning (James 1:17).

What exactly does that mean?

It means that, unlike everything else about the earth and the rest of creation, He never changes. He doesn’t move. He is fixed (stationary), so to speak, so there is never any danger of Him not being there or suddenly changing.

He is the one constant in each and every one of our lives.

Cling to Him. Draw near to Him. Trust Him with every fiber of your being.

He will never, ever fail us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-2-22

Psalm 73:25-26 (NKJV) 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Don’t dwell in the land of negativity. Know that God is on our side, and He can turn things around.

Sometimes it may seem like He doesn’t move when we would like Him to. Or maybe He doesn’t move the way we would like Him to.

But if we trust Him and stay steadfast, knowing He will get to the bottom of it, He will. And it just might happen in ways we would have never dreamt of.

God likes to have something to work with. He loves when we give Him a sacrificial offering, so to speak. It shows Him we are really serious!

And it’s important that what we offer Him is not just what we want to give Him, but something He may want us to give up.

This is usually something we are going to feel the loss of. Things that cost us a little bit of discomfort will usually cause us to get serious.

It catches our attention when we give up things we enjoy having. Money and food are two very good examples of this!

They are two of the most important things that bring comfort to us.

How do we sacrifice our money and our food to God? Through tithes and fasting. When we are obedient in doing these things, we will see change.

We may be asking God, “what do we need to do today?”.

Here’s the answer to that question.

We need to stop the negative talk about how bad off we may be, and do something about it.

And what do we do about it?

We trust God with our sowing and fasting, knowing that He will provide for us in whatever we may be going through.

Get serious with Him. He is our strength. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-22

Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) 9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

When we want the Lord to direct our steps, our ear must be in tune with Him.

And how do we do that? The Holy Spirit must be given the freedom to have dominion over our flesh.

It’s OK if we want to plan our own lives. But we need to understand that if we are not willing to let God direct our steps, we will only get out of it the fruits of our flesh.

Many believers today are wondering why God is not intervening on their behalf.

We need to understand that God intervenes on our behalf when we give our plans over to Him. He goes to bat for us when we are walking out His steps.

We can’t jump on board and then jump off and expect results that are in line with still being on board. We’ve got to stick with Him through thick and thin.

For instance, if we want a particular job really badly, and we go after it because it’s our desire to work at a particular place, we may get that job and be excited to be there. But we may not get the full benefit of what God had for us.

If we wait on God to direct our steps, it will all happen in His time and the results will be far better than us trying to do it on our own with our own knowledge.

Having our own plan is not necessarily a bad thing, and God does not look down on us for it. But anything that God has or wants for us would be much better, of course, and He would definitely have the way and purpose for it.

It’s up to us. We have to decide.

Sometimes we are already in God’s plan without even realizing it. Many times our heart is just wanting and longing to be close to Him, so we end up walking out His plan unknowingly, living in His blessings because of our obedience. Praise be to Him!

It’s not complicated at all. Don’t stress over it.

And when we are there, we will notice how fulfilling it can be as we flow in following His lead.

Our prayer is for us all to walk in His plan for our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-31-22

Genesis 12:1 (NKJV) 1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

Go to a land that I will show you.

These are the only words that God offered Abram (Abraham) when He told him to leave his family and his father.

Abraham wasn’t given the benefit of even knowing where he was headed. He had to trust God 100% as he packed his belongings and left.

This is one of the best examples in the entirety of God’s word when it comes to trusting God solely based on His word.

It’s critical that we understand the weight of what God told Abraham, particularly the words, “a land that I will show you”.

Can we truly understand the faith that it took for Abraham to obey God in this?

Let’s put ourselves in Abraham’s shoes and see if we can even begin to figure out how we might respond to this kind of command from God.

Do we think that we would just jump right up and head out immediately, with no thought to what it really means for our lives? Or would we hesitate, understanding the depth of it all, understanding that we don’t even know where it is that we’re headed to?

It’s pretty safe to say that most of us would fall into the latter category, flinching terribly at what we’re being told to do.

This is a great litmus test for our faith in God. It’s a good gauge that can show us the true level of trust we have in Him, the God who created us and everything we see around us.

Let’s sincerely endeavor to press firmly in to Him, learning more of Him, so our faith and trust reach new levels, allowing us to make decisions and choices of great depth without anguishing greatly over them in the process.

None of us will ever get this perfect. But the time we spend in His word, and time spent communing with Him will help us greatly mature in these areas.
