Bible Verse of The Day – 5-21-13

(Mark 6:46 NKJV)  And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

Jesus had quality time with His Dad.

While I was out taking a stroll tonight I passed a daughter and her dad. They were walking, talking and kicking a stone back and forth. I enjoyed seeing that. It’s that quality time that makes a difference. It makes a strong connection.

Just as that daughter and her dad shared things back and forth they learn to understand each other a little bit better.

It’s just like that with our Heavenly Father. As we take quality time and open up, sharing our feelings with Him and letting Him share back with us, that is how we grow closer. That is how we make a stronger connection and a better relationship.

Give quality time to any relationship that we want to see mended, healed or to grow. It will make a difference.

Time doesn’t cost us a thing… it’s free, so give it away to someone you know is in need, whether your relationship with God, or maybe your Spouse. It could be your child, your sister or brother; let God lead you today and show you who needs your time.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-22-13

(Colossians 3:2 NKJV)  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

Where are our minds? What do we set them on?

There are a couple of different angles that this could be taught from, but today I we’d like to focus on this aspect;

What occupies our thoughts? Are we spending all of our waking moments wrapped up in earthly matters, or are we giving God the time that He deserves?

As we touched on last week, we can start our day by getting caught up in the cares of our day, or we can wake up and give God our attention before we get busy, setting things in order as soon as we wake up.

But what about after we’re up and about? Are we pushing God aside for the remainder of our day, are we keeping Him in the forefront of our thoughts and the things that we do?

God is everything. He is our source of life. Without Him we are nothing. But with Him we can do all things.

Let’s stop rushing through our days, weeks and years and make an effort to deliberately give God all the time and attention that He is due.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-19-13

(Psalm 5:3 NKJV)  My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.

Who does your voice get lifted up to in the morning? What do you first think of when you wake up?

We all have very busy lives. It’s easy to wake up and let our minds begin to race with the activities of the day ahead of us.

It’s even easier for this to happen if we happen to be in a stressful time or season of our life.

But we need to consciously remind ourselves to put God first, even in our waking hour, giving Him time and room to speak to us. If we don’t do this, we’re starting our day without Him and without acknowledging Him.

It’s not that we do this intentionally, but it sneaks up on us over time and before we know it, we reach a point where we’re many hours into our day before we even think of God.

So let’s start right now. Let’s determine within our hearts to make sure we put God first each and every morning when we wake up, giving Him time and space to speak to us before we jump into our busy schedules.

If we will do this, we will see a huge difference in how our attitude and how our day goes for us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-1-13

(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“.

Let us hear His voice today…open the door and let Him in!!

He wants to dine with us. Open up and share our hearts today with Him. Talk to Him, sing with Him, dance and worship before Him.

Don’t hold back today; trust Him with our deepest secrets. Trust Him with our life!!

He loves to dine with us.

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.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-12

(Psa 69:34 NKJV)  Let heaven and earth praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.

Do we ever take a day and just spend it to ponder on the goodness of God?

Nowadays it’s almost impossible to do such a thing. It is so busy. Running here and there …trying to get things done. We have television, cell phones and computers to distract us. Do we ever have a moment to ourselves, let alone time for God?

Today is a good day to start saying no! No to TV, no to the cell phone and no to the computer, etc. Not today… I have an appointment at such and such a time with the Almighty God!! He deserves our time and our praises!

Take time today…He’s waiting.
