Bible Verse of The Day – 12-15-14

Jude 1:20-21 (NKJV) 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Today, we’d like to offer these verses to you, to encourage you and show you God’s hope for your life.

God desires for each and every one of us to excel in the faith; to be built up, praying in the Spirit and keeping ourselves in the love of God.

God wants us to pursue Him with all that is in us.

So many of us have gotten ourselves so busy and so stretched for time that we find it hard to spend even just a few minutes with Him each day.

We implore you today to stop and take a look at your lifestyle… your busy, busy lifestyle that tries to squeeze so much into every minute of each day. Before we know it, we’ve gotten so over-scheduled that we can’t even do all of the things that we’ve obligated ourselves to do.

Almost 2 years ago, God spoke a single word to me; Simplify.

So today I want to speak that very same word to you; Simplify!

Take time and examine your life. What is necessary and what can be cut out? What have we tied ourselves to that we need to cut off?

Which activities are we pursuing that maybe we need to scale back on, or possibly even let go of completely?

It’s not an easy thing to do, to simplify, but if we want to know God and experience that peace that surpasses understanding, we need to make room for Him to work in our lives.

So I ask you today, will you heed His word? Will you make room for Him?

Simplify!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-12

(Revelation 3:20 NKJV)  “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

The days go by so fast it’s hard to even remember what day we are on at times.

We’re always trying to make sure we get everything done that we need to do in a single day, knowing that if we don’t finish it all it just gets piled onto tomorrow’s load. Enough already!

We need more time. As some like to say, “I need more hours in a day”. Well, we know that the hours in a day will never be changed. It’s not happening.

However, by cutting things out of our daily schedule we can make more time. Even if it is little things, those little things add up. Get rid of the unnecessary things, or get help with the things you do.

Sometimes simply asking others to help you out in certain areas, so the load isn’t all on you, can make a big difference, leaving you with more time.

God is knocking on your day today and saying “come and dine with me. Make time so we can have a relationship.”
