Bible Verse of The Day – 6-16-17

Proverbs 1:33 (NKJV) 33 “But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”

It’s important that we listen to God’s voice and heed what he says. There is wisdom in doing so.

God promises us that if we listen, we will dwell safely, we will be secure and we won’t have to fear evil.

That’s a whole lot of security right there!

It’s easy sometimes to ignore God’s words and His promptings. But it’s safe to say that if we do that, we do so at the risk of losing out on His blessings.

So it’s to our own benefit that we listen and follow what he shows us to do.

Be secure and live without fear of evil.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-6-17

Proverbs 3:6 (NKJV) 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

One thing that I’ve had to learn over the years about being a believer is that when God wants us to be a part of something that we are not very enthused about, it’s hard to say no, because it will keep eating away at us.

Sometimes the things we don’t want to be a part of are the very things that are going to help us learn and grow.

It’s not always the easiest thing to do, but if we can learn to just accept the things He puts in front of us we will be more at peace than if we were to say no, and buck it.

God knows what we all need in our lives in certain seasons. And if we let Him direct our path, we will not only come out stronger and wiser, but we will be even more humble as well. These are good qualities to have.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-17

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

How many times do we feel we are not good enough or we are not worth anything at all? How many times do we feel that we could never do what others do? That we are never going to be anything important in life.

Well, today God wants you to know that you have already done wonderful things in your life. That you have already taken steps that maybe no one knows but Him. And those steps that you took you took when you were scared.

You had no idea what you were doing but felt with everything in you that you needed to do it, and you trusted Him with the rest.

God sees you through perfect, loving eyes and you are wonderful to Him! You are more than a conqueror through Him!

God bless you and keep going!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-17

John 9:6-7 (NKJV) 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing

Sometimes there are certain steps we need to take to receive the healing or deliverance for our particular situation.

This man that was blind from birth was healed through Jesus spitting in the dirt and making clay, then anointing his eyes with it. The blind man then had to go to the place where Jesus told Him to go and wash it off. These were steps that needed to be taken by Jesus and by the blind man.

Are we giving up on receiving a miracle because we are afraid to take certain steps? Afraid of what people around us may think? Afraid of the outcome of it all?

Do we think Jesus worried or was the least bit concerned what people were thinking when He took two fish and the five loaves, feeding 5000 people and having 12 baskets left over?

I mean, think about it. Logic says it’s not possible. Logic says HOW? If we let logic dominate, it can and will say NO WAY, and talk us right out of the steps we need to take.

Matthew 14:18-21 (NKJV)18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus stepped out and said no way to logic and YES to His FATHER in Heaven, who showed Him all things to do.

Some of us need to stop letting logic hold us back. God has a plan, and we need to be open to the things He is showing us to do, and let Him flow. Don’t let fear and logic stop us from letting God work through us.

Step out of the logic realm and follow His lead. He is faithful.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-16-17

John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

As a believer, our decisions should be based on what we have learned through His word. In doing so, we learn to follow, obey and apply His truth to our everyday living, instead of doing something simply because we want to. His words will echo in our hearts.

This is all part of following Him and it takes a lifetime to learn. It doesn’t happen over night, so we shouldn’t give up if we are not getting it just right. We don’t just reach a point in our life and say, “there, I know how to handle it all!”. It is an ongoing process.

Most times we are fighting our own flesh. We are trying to stop it from doing the wrong things. That’s right, our own flesh.

We might say, “so and so is doing this and getting away with it. Why can’t we just do half of what they are doing?”.

We cannot look at what others are doing and try to “get away with it”. We need to stay focused on what we know is right and follow through with that each day.

Keeping this old flesh in line with God’s word is a job in and of itself. But we do have a Helper, the Holy Spirit. And we need His strength, wisdom and discipline to keep us following the right path.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We love that He thought of us and sent us a Helper. We need Him more than we know. Ask the Holy Spirit for help today, that we may be reminded of the words of our Lord.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-16

Proverbs 19:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel – that will stand.

The Lord’s counsel. This tells us that God’s willing and wanting to counsel us. He will instruct us.

He didn’t leave us to live this life on our own. He’s available to us at anytime that we may seek Him and get answers so that we will make wise decisions, wise moves, so that our life will be fruitful. That we will be the HEAD and not the tail.

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Being the head and not the tail does not mean we will avoid life’s problems and trials. It simply means that we will be able to come through them and stand up to them, with God’s help, wisdom and direction when things do hit.

Being the head does not happen automatically just because we are His children. No, it doesn’t. It happens when we HEED God, meaning when we listen and obey; When we hear what He is saying to us and do the things He wants us to do at that moment in time.

If we have planned our life out for ourselves and we’re not quite sure if it is God’s plan, it’s a good time to bring it to God and seek Him for clarity.

He is faithful to give us counsel and wisdom to help us. It’s never too late, and it’s not over until it’s over.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-29-16

Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV) 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Sometimes our heads have a hard time getting out of the way and letting God lead us.

There are ways that just make sense to us. Our intellect says we should do certain things a certain way. It just seems right.

But when we let God’s spirit talk to us, and we heed His instructions, we end up doing things that just don’t make a lot of sense to our minds.

And if we choose to follow our heads, instead of following God’s leading, it can lead to some disastrous results.

It’s so very important that we follow God’s leading, instead of diving into something head first that will end up harming us.

And when we follow God’s way, instead of ours, we will have peace with the choices that we make, even when it might not seem right to our logical understanding.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-13-15

Proverbs 19:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

We may have thoughts and ideas of our own as to what we need to do at certain times. But we need to always remember to pray about it and ask God to confirm those ideas, making sure it is His will and plan for us.

Just because some things look, feel and sound good doesn’t necessarily mean it’s God’s plan.

Know that at times we may wrestle with the things that God would have us to do. It may not always be what we want to be doing, or the way we would like to be doing it.

This is normal, but if we submit to the Spirit, we will truly walk in His will for us and be blessed!

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-20-15

Psalm 119:133 (NKJV) 133 Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.

It’s important that we don’t get so busy and caught up in the things we call “of God” that we don’t pay attention to what He is telling us to do at times.

Most times people start off on the right track and with the right motives. But if we don’t stay close to Him, meaning if we don’t take the time to read His word, take the time to pray and take time to rest, we may find ourselves saying, believing and doing things that are not right and far from His ways.

Draw close to God. No matter what we do, don’t let what we are doing keep us so busy that we don’t have time to stop and listen to Him. Make the time.

It is in His word that we find direction for our lives.
