Bible Verse of The Day – 4-6-19

Colossians 1:10 (NKJV) 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

As we submit to God and commit our actions, our tongue, our thoughts, our whole heart and being to Him, we are walking in this worthiness. And it pleases God!

We have to put the effort in and be willing to change things up quickly when God prompts us or when the Holy Spirit convicts us.

Be alert to the promptings of the Holy Spirit through the discernment that God will give us as we grow and learn each day. It’s amazing how alert we become when we stay close to Him and give Him our time.

Life is so much more peaceful; things go more smoothly as we walk worthy or in honor of Jesus. It is a growing process, as we increase in strength, patience and longsuffering. And doing so brings us great joy!

Colossians 1:11 (NKJV) 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy…

When we walk worthy of Him, we will be fruitful in the things we do and increasing in His knowledge!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-8-18

Matthew 5:6 (NKJV) 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

As human beings, we can experience two kinds of hunger. One is our hunger for natural food; the things we eat that keep our body alive.

And then there is spiritual food; the things we “eat” that keep our spirit alive and thriving.

It’s safe to say that we all very much understand natural hunger. Our bodies tell us when we need to eat. Our stomachs rumble. We feel empty. And if we don’t eat enough, we can become faint and light-headed. If we don’t provide our bodies with proper nutrition, we can actually pass out.

In extreme circumstances, we can become physically sick, and ultimately die from starvation.

The same can be said for spiritual hunger. We feel the longing inside of us to be fed. Our spirit craves proper food and sustenance. And if we don’t feed our spirit properly, it will wither up and die. It will starve to death.

Many of us feel this hunger, this longing, and we try to fill it with the wrong things; material things, wealth, attention from others, physical affection and many other things.

But none of these will ever satisfy our spiritual hunger. And that’s because we fail to truly understand what this hunger really is. It’s a desire to draw closer to God and let Him satisfy us.

No, this isn’t about a God-shaped hole that we hear so much about when referring to our need for a Savior.

It’s about hungering and thirsting after righteousness. It’s about longing to know God in such an intimate way that nothing else will stop the craving. Nothing else will satisfy our hunger and our thirst.

Hungering and thirsting after righteousness will push us toward God in a way that is beyond words to describe it. And when we finally understand the hunger, and we begin to feast on God and His word, then and only then will we be filled.

Are we hungry and thirsty? Do we feel like we’re spiritually starving and undernourished?

We need to press into God. Draw near to Him. Let Him be the sole source of our sustenance.

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-6-14

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God

The salvation of our eternal souls is free… a gift from God.

He gives salvation freely, without prejudice based on our race, our ethnicity, our financial status or any other factor.

God loves us freely and offers us His plan of salvation freely.

On the other hand, our relationship with God is something that doesn’t just happen freely.

It takes effort. It takes work. We get out what we put in.

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

As followers of Christ, we need to take the necessary steps to strengthen our walk with God and build that relationship into one that stands the test of time and lasts through tough situations and fiery trials.

In fact, as our relationship with God grows, the fiery trials that do come our way will show us where we’re at with Him and help us to see where we are weak and where we are strong.

And we also need to understand that growing our relationship with God won’t stop tough times from occurring in our lives, but it will equip us to handle them better and come through them without being mortally wounded spiritually.

So we need to accept God’s gift of salvation and then put forth the effort required to take those next steps and grow our relationship with Him. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-16-14

Colossians 2:6-7 (NKJV) 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

To many people, Christianity is just something that’s done in passing, as a way of showing some kind of faith or belief in God, but with little or no commitment to “walking it out”. In other words, it’s not really who they are, but just something they do when it’s convenient.

This is not faith at all and, in fact, these people are likely not really even Christians at all. Now I know that may sound judgmental, but lets take a look at what God’s word says, above.

Paul, in the verses above, is instructing the Colossian believers to walk in Him, not just follow some casual kind of belief system. Further, he instructs them to be rooted in Him and established in the faith!

This is definitely more than a casual Sunday morning relationship here.

We often have people write to us, asking us questions about how to draw closer to God or how to hear God’s voice, or even how to know what God’s call or purpose is for them in their life.

And we are always careful to instruct them the same way; Press in to God, spend time in His word and learn of Him. Get to know Him. Doing this will give us a better understanding of who He is and who He wants us to be.

Once we have that understanding, everything else becomes much more clear and easy to understand.

So if you feel like your walk with God is casual, or if you’re struggling to find God’s purpose for your life, root yourself in Him, build yourself up in Him and establish yourself in the faith. If we will take the time and make the effort to do this, so many other things in our lives will eventually fall into place.
