Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-13

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV) He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

He made everything beautiful in its time. In its time.

Notice that the scripture doesn’t say that He makes everything beautiful in our time? Oh how we wish sometimes that it was the opposite. But I’m sure we would all get ourselves in massive trouble if everything went the way we want it, when we want it.

So many times we hear people talk and teach about how God will make us wait until He’s good and ready to do something, or give us something.

But in reality, it’s not so much about making us wait, as it is waiting until everything is in its place.

Timing is everything.

God has set an order to everything and it’s not up to us to try to change that order or alter something to make things happen the way we want them to happen.

And when push comes to shove, the timing that God has set in place for everything is so much better than ours.

So if you’re waiting for something today, whether it’s a breakthrough or anything else, remember that He makes everything beautiful… in its time.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-16-13

(2 Peter 1:5-7 NKJV)  But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, {6} to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, {7} to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

Knowledge is a beautiful thing if handled correctly. It helps us to know what to do, how to handle situations that come our way and what we need to say at times. Taking the knowledge that God gives us and waiting on Him to show us what to do with it will cause us to learn self control, which is vital to the body of Christ.

We can have a great deal of knowledge, but if we can not deliver it the way God wants us to, or in His timing, it can and will hurt others, including ourselves.

When God gives us knowledge for our situation, or anyone else’s situation, the next step is to pray and wait on Him to show us what to do with it.That will build up that self control muscle.

Have you ever prayed for something or someone, and you knew that God gave you the answer, yet when you acted on what you felt God showed you it didn’t work, or it was not received by the person you shared it with?

This can happen if we are out of God’s timing when sharing knowledge He has given us.

Having self control over the things we receive from God will help us be more productive and see better results as we wait on Him. Let us build up that self control muscle today by waiting on His timing.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-27-12

(Exodus 14:21 NKJV)  Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

God led the Israelites to the shore of the Red Sea. The Egyptians were in hot pursuit. There was nowhere to run or hide as they faced the sea.

God instructed Moses to stretch his hand out over the sea. So Moses did this and then God began to move.

Take notice that God caused the waters of the Red Sea to part, to divide, but it didn’t happen instantly. It took all night long!

The Israelites had to wait there on the shore of the sea all night, while God caused a strong east wind to blow and divide the waters.

What about us? Are any of us feeling like our backs are against the wall right now? Are we standing on the shore waiting for God to part the sea?

Take heart! Know that God will move on our behalf, but it almost never happens when we think it should!

We all need to trust in Him alone. We need to stop trying to make sense of every little thing that happens and stop trying to figure it all out! All of these things will cause us to question God and bring doubt and fear into our lives. Neither of these is from God, but from our enemy, the devil.

Let’s dig down deep and let God test our faith, and see what we’re really made of! It may not always be comfortable, but it is the best thing for us!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-13-12

(Matthew 6:34 NKJV)  “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Each night, as we go out for our evening walk, we get to this one hill. Both of us like to jog up this hill. We love the way it gets our heart beating and we feel like we conquered it.

It is a huge hill and about half way up sometimes if I lift up my head and look towards the top. I find my breathing and my mind start to panic, almost causing me to quit at times.

I am often reminded that what works best for me is to keep my head down and only focus on what is in front of me, not looking to see how far from the top I am. So I’ll force my head down and literally watch my feet taking one step at a time causing my breathing and my mind to focus again. Before I know it, I am at the top of that hill!!

It’s like this with God. He gives us desires and visions within our hearts and we need to remember that these things don’t always come to pass immediately. It takes time, one step at a time.

In this day we live in ,everything seems so fast-paced. If we want this or that they make it so easy to get things quickly. We have to be careful we don’t get stuck in this mindset when it comes to God and His plan for us.

When God shows us the things He would like to do with us or for us we can be prayerful and focus on how He would like us to reach the goal on a daily basis. If we look too far ahead it can cause us to panic, stress, or doubt that it can even be done.

So take one day at a time because that is enough.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-12-12

(2 Pet 3:8-9 NKJV)  But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

God’s timing is certainly not our timing!

God sees things in such a different light than we do, sometimes it seems like our breakthrough will just never come.

But God is not slack with His promises and He will do what He said He will do. We just need to hold fast and wait on Him, trusting that He will bring victory.

Keep in mind, though, that if there is going to be a victory, there has to be a battle. Without a battle, there is no need for a victory.

So if you’re in a battle right now, waiting for your victory, trust that God will bring it.

It might not be in the timing that we think it should be in, but He knows and understands what we need and when we need it.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-18-12

(Psa 102:1-2 NKJV) Hear my prayer, O LORD, And let my cry come to You. {2} Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me; In the day that I call, answer me speedily.

Oh, how I long for God to answer me quickly at times. Sometimes I feel like He’s left me all alone to fend for myself. But, not too long after I get through my pity party and my waah, waaahs it seems I get my breakthrough and boy do I feel silly. How could I ever think that God, my Jehovah, Alpha & Omega, who loves me so and tells me to cast my cares on Him, would leave me stranded?

God hears our cry and He is faithful to answer us always, in the right time. We just have to believe Him and not doubt.

It’s OK to ask Him to move speedily. Sometimes we need Him to move fast; we realize the urgency in the matter and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Wait on Him if it takes a little longer then we expected it to. He knows how much time He has and He is faithful to deliver. Don’t jump ahead of Him, stay right there with Him and let Him lead!!

Breakthroughs are coming as we wait on Him!
