Bible Verse of The Day

(Deuteronomy 7:22 NKJV)  “And the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you little by little; you will be unable to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

God gave the Israelites a plan; it would be “little by little” that they would destroy the enemy. There was a reason why God did it this way, to protect them from the beasts of the field becoming too numerous for them to handle.

We have to know God’s plan, and just as He had a reason why He did it little by little, there are times it will be the same for us. Just because things seem to be taking a bit longer than we anticipated, it does not mean that we are not reaching our goal or receiving an answer. And it doesn’t mean that we won’t get the victory in our battle.

Don’t get me wrong… I have had times in my life where I felt like nothing was happening at all and things were too quiet. But we have to remember “little by little” is OK with God!! He has His reasons why.

Let God’s plan work for you. Let Him take all the time He wants when helping us win the battle.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-13

(Hebrews 6:12 NKJV)  that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

I find it interesting that it is through faith and patience we inherit the promises.

These two things, faith and patience, are probably what we all have a hard time with. Faith gets stronger and stronger in us as we trust God, but we will never see the answer if we don’t have patience enough to wait on Him. These two things work together to receive the promises.

We cannot just sit back and do nothing if we want answers and victory in our lives, or the lives of others around us. It’s going to take us working at having faith for things we never thought we could have, and patience for God’s timing to receiving them.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-26-12

(2 Th 3:5 NKJV)  Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

Patience. I doubt that there is a single one of us who shouldn’t be more patient at some point each day.

The world moves at such a fast pace these days. It doesn’t matter where we live. Everything moves much faster than it did 20 years ago.

This fast-paced world has sucked all of us into wanting everything instantly. Getting something quickly isn’t always bad, but it can have some bad effects on our lives if we’re not careful, because we forget how to wait for God’s timing.

Today, if you’re driving your car and get behind someone going slower than you think they should be going, be patient. If you get in a long line at the store or at the bank, be patient.

If something isn’t happening for you as quickly as you want it to, be patient.

Be patient. God knows what we need and when we need it.
