Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-12

(Prov 12:13 NKJV)  The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble.

Have you ever looked around you and thought “why does it seem like the bad guy always wins?”

Sometimes it seems like those that are the vilest in their ways are the ones who get ahead and prosper. But don’t be fooled. Despite how things look, everyone reaps what they sow, whether it’s here in this life or afterward.

It does seem sometimes like wickedness is prevailing in this world. But we, the righteous in Christ, will prevail.

Take heart in knowing that we are on God’s side and under His wing. We are highly favored and we will have victory in our lives.

Turn your eyes from the ways of the wicked and focus them on God. He is our source and our strength.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 3-3-12

(Luke 1:38 NKJV)  Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

In the verse above, one of God’s angels had come to Mary to tell her that she was chosen to be the mother of God’s son. Mary received this word and accepted the assignment that God had for her.

Sometimes when God reveals things to us, it can be a little tough to swallow, even when it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I remember very clearly when God revealed to us that he was calling us to be pastors, we cried our eyes out. I remember thinking “no God, anything but pastors”!

As it turned out, the calling didn’t happen overnight and God took the time to prepare us for what He was asking us to do. And by the time it actually happened a few years later, we were pretty settled with it.

The thing is, we have a choice as to whether we want to accept God’s path for our life or choose our own path. Sometimes it looks easier to choose our own path because we think it requires less effort and less commitment. But in reality, if God chooses to use us for a specific task, He will prepare us and shape us for that task.

It’s not always easy, but it’s sure to be easier than any path we choose ourselves.
