Bible Verse of The Day – 7-31-14

Ecclesiastes 8:12 (NKJV) 12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.

Every day we see and hear more and more about the evil that’s pervading the world we live in. Some days it can be downright discouraging if we let it be.

If we’re not careful, we can become very cynical and negative and we can even begin to question God as to why He allows evil people to continue doing what they do.

How many times have we maybe thought “why do you continue to let them live, God, while they’re spreading such evil and doing such harm to people?”.

This is a common thing. Many people ask this question.

But we need to let God be God and let Him worry about such things. They are not ours to be concerned with.

All we need to know is that if we fear God, all will be well with us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-18-14

Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV) So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.

As we walk though our lives and we encounter various situations, trials, difficulties, etc., we often call on God to help us or deliver us from them.

When we do, we always seem to have preconceived ideas as to how God should do it. Most times these ideas involve God swooping down in some miraculous way, making a grand display of His power and might, crushing our problems with His awesomeness!

On the contrary, though, it’s almost never this way.

God rarely does things the way we expect Him to. He does things the way they need to be done and in a way that we would never have figured out in advance, so we can’t take the credit for it and to build our trust and faith in Him.

So if you’re in a bit of trouble right now, or if you encounter trouble in your future, go ahead and ask God to help you, but don’t expect it to be the way you think it should be.

Not by might nor power, but by His spirit!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-4-12

(2 Sam 22:31 NKJV)  As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Do we ever second guess God?

Sometimes it’s easy to look at what’s going on around us and start to doubt Him. Lots of times we start trying to take control of a situation when we see that it’s not going the way we think it should.

But God’s ways are perfect. He can’t fail us. We can miss Him, but He will never fail us. He can’t. It’s not possible.

Any time we’re in a mess, we can always count on it being our own fault or maybe someone else’s fault, but we can never point the finger at God.

We need to let God be our shield. Do we trust Him enough to do that?

The best thing we can do in our lives is wait on God, trust Him and let Him be God.

He does a lot better job with it than we can ever think of doing!
