Bible Verse of The Day – 5-22-19

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

There are two standards by which everything is viewed and judged; Man’s standard, and God’s standard.

Philippians 4:19 says that our God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. Isn’t it great to know that He will supply for us based on His riches in glory, and not based on man’s riches?

Now, this is where we need to get understanding, so we don’t begin applying man’s thoughts to this verse.

First, God owns everything. So, there is never any lack on His end. He is abundantly sufficient in everything, leaving us with no possibilities of Him not being able to supply what we need.

Second, God’s riches are not the same as man’s riches. As we look at everything through natural eyes, we may immediately think of wealth in the natural sense when we think of God’s abundance.

And while it is true that God may supply us with material blessings, we need to carefully consider the fact that material wealth is not the only resource God has for us. In fact, there may be times when He provides for us in ways other than with material wealth.

God knows what we need, vs. what we want.

Sometimes we think we need material blessings when, in reality, we need God’s blessings. God’s blessings can be very diverse!

During times of famine, we definitely need the things necessary to sustain us. But we will many times forget that we also need God’s love, encouragement, hope and joy in order to persevere and press through the battle to victory.

If God only supplied us with material things during those times, how miserable might we end up?

Sure, our bills might be paid, and we would have food and shelter. But if we lack understanding, joy, gratitude and so many other attributes, we would be in sorry shape.

Thank you, God, for supplying all our needs according to Your riches in glory, not according to man’s.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-19

Lamentations 3:23 (NKJV) 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

What an honor it is to be able to serve God and His children.

He is a good God and a faithful, loving and caring Father.

He will go above and beyond to move mountains for His children. He will not stop at anything when it comes to providing for us.

He is a God that is true to His everlasting Word. We can stand on His Promises and know that He will come through every time.

I don’t know what you or someone you may love deeply might be going through today, but God will be there for you both. He is a personal God and knows what it will take to get you through. Amen.

He is steadfast, and He will not forsake you. Trust Him. Believe with all your heart what He is saying to you, and you will see with your own eyes what great and mighty things He will do.

Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-12-19

Psalm 98:4 (NKJV) 4 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.

Just the other day while driving down the road, I had this overwhelming feeling come over me as to how good God is. Have you ever had that feeling?

You are not thinking about anything in particular, just in the midst of whatever you are doing at that moment, and then bam…it hits you right there!

It was one of the most exciting feelings I have ever felt. Almost surreal. I can’ t even put it in words.

But, when it happens, everything in me wants to shout out with joy!

It’s actually good it happens in the car, since it’s just me and God and I can sing or shout as loud as I want!

The Lord’s love for us alone should make us want to shout every day.

I realize that God puts up with a lot from me. I can be very stubborn, selfish, annoying and so much more at times. But He still is there when I need Him.

Most people would run away saying, ”forget it, they are too much work for me to handle”.

But the Lord, He loves us in spite of our silliness and folly.

Can we give Him a shout out from our hearts today and praise Him? He is good!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-23-19

1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

Jesus did all that He did, once for all, for each one of us. Why? Because of the importance of our relationship with our Father.

Now that we have a way to our Father, it makes it convenient for us to go to Him, through Jesus Christ, His Son. And we can go to Him at any time.

In the morning when we get up, before our day even begins, He is there. In the afternoon during our lunch break, He is there. In the evening before we get into bed, He is there. Those sleepless and restless nights, He is there. If we are tormented during the night. He is there.

He is never too busy to listen and He is never too busy to answer. He is never overworked or under-worked. He is never too late or too early. He is never too tired. Our Father, Our God, Our Jehovah Jireh is Omnipotent, He is all-powerful. Omniscient, He is all knowing and Omnipresent, He is present everywhere.

Knowing that, what should we all be doing? Going to Him, and spending time.

God wants us to Himself. He loves to have each one of us coming to Him every day, loving on Him, worshiping Him, praising and thanking Him. He loves our songs from our heart. It means so much to Him.

Jesus, the Just, suffered for our sins so that we, the unjust, could go to God. Through Jesus we have the victory.

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-19

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Being thankful for what we have is something to keep at the forefront of our hearts and minds.

Sometimes it can be very easy to forget the hardships that God has brought us through. The sting we felt and tears we shed fade away into the past.

How about the heartache and fear that was so heavy at night when we laid awake in bed, trying to figure it all out? Have they just slowly become a distant memory?

It can be easy sometimes to forget how God, in His omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent way, came through and helped us come through it all.

Time goes by and we forget. The stress we once felt subsides. The tears turn to joy, the heartache heals and the fear, if we’re not careful, can turn into pride.

After all God brought us through, and our situation is behind us, remember Who set us free. Remember Who brought us out of our hardship, our situation. And don’t forget to remain in Him, and stay thankful for all that He will continue to help us with every day for as long as we live.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-19

Luke 1:46-47 (NKJV) 46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

We can all rejoice in God our Savior today, for He is good!

He is our refuge, and strength. He is our help when we are in trouble. He is our strong tower to whom we run and find safety.

He is our joy. He will uphold us when we are afraid. He is our song and has given every one of us victory.

Those who seek Him lack no good thing. He keeps us in peace. He is our hiding place and He will protect us.

He is the Lord, faithful and worthy! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-17-18

Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV) 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

Immanuel meaning, God with us.

Have we ever felt scared, fearful, or stressed about anything? I think at one time or another we all have been in a situation or position where we have felt that way.

We may not want to remember it because it’s not pleasant. It’s not something we want to walk around and tell everyone about. It leaves a bad taste in our mouths, and we never want to go there again.

It’s good to know that when we do face stress and fear we are not alone if we have Christ as our Savior.

God is with us, He loves us, and He protects us.

When we stop and think about how He made this happen, it can cause our heads to hurt. God is amazing! He came to this earth for us through a virgin. A virgin! Immanuel, God with us, was birthed as the Savior of this world. He is Jesus Christ, God’s perfect Son.

He rescued us from our sin, taught us how to behave and how to carry ourselves. There is not a day that goes by that He doesn’t love us.

Don’t be afraid of what we face in this world. He is with us to the end.

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-7-18

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Thank you, God, for taking us through the storm.

There were days that we thought we were going to lose everything. But, even in that time You had brought us to a place where, even if that happened, we knew it would be OK because we still had You.

Thank you for training us up in the way we should go. Some things in this life are very tempting at times. But with Your deep impartation in our hearts You stand tall above the temptation and give us the strength to walk away and do the right thing.

Thank you God, for Your goodness day and night. Oh how we are safe with You! Nothing in this world can replace your faithfulness. Your love for us is more than enough.

We love You Lord. Thank you for being You. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-18

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

We have seen God’s faithfulness time and time again. He is never late, but right on time.

He will bring food to your table. He will bring finances to pay your bills. He will bring a job when we have lost ours. He will bring strength when we are weak, peace when our anxiety is at its peak. He will help us in our time of unbelief.

Someone today is struggling. It could be something small or it could be huge. Whatever you are going through, hold on.

Don’t give up or give in to negativity, cynicism, fear or anxiety. These are the devil’s tools to wear us down.

Have faith in God and keep trusting Him, no matter what it looks like or feels like. We don’t walk by sight, but by faith!

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-21-18

Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV) 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

Where does prayer and singing come from when all is going wrong? It comes from His Spirit that lives, moves and breathes in us. It rises above our circumstances and our situations.

When we are in a predicament and we can’t see the light, what direction to go or the reason why we are even going through it, we need to stop trying to figure it out. That is the biggest distraction the devil will use on us.

Put it aside and start praying and singing to God. Start thanking Him that He is going to see us through it.

Whatever is going on right now, He knew it was going to take place before it even happened. He has a plan and we need to let Him work it out.

Can we find a song within us? Can we stop trying to figure things out long enough to let it rise up? Can we push back the voices and the lies that try to cause us to go deeper and deeper into depression or wear ourselves out with anxiety?

Paul and Silas had just been beaten with rods and thrown into prison. For what? They had done nothing wrong, (Acts 16:16-24).

They couldn’t spend time thinking and pondering about it. They had to go beyond what their bodies were feeling, and what they were thinking, in order to let the Spirit of God turn it around for them.

They let Him continue to work in them even through their physical pain and tattered emotions. By doing so, not only did God set them free, but He brought deliverance to others that were around them.

The prison guard and his whole household were saved!

How we act in a time of crisis, hardship or mistreatment is crucial. As believers, we must be strong in God and let Him guide us and show us the proper way to carry ourselves, despite the unfair treatment we may be enduring.

We don’t know the victory that will come from it, not only for us, but others that are involved.

Lift up our voices today. Pray and sing. It will break those chains supernaturally and open the doors to freedom!! Amen.

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-18

2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV) 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

For many centuries people have wondered and asked why God is taking so long for Jesus to return. After all, the world is a mess. Morals have decayed terribly. Violence is at all-time highs around the world. And so many other things are happening that make the world a challenging place to live.

So why is it that God has kept His people waiting here on earth for so very long, having to endure trials and hard times?

Because He is patient and doesn’t want anyone to perish without the chance to repent.

This may make no sense whatsoever to our minds. It may be hard for us to understand. In fact, we may not be able to understand it at all with our intellect.

But as we learn to know and hear God’s heart, we will begin to understand it a little at a time.

As humans, we tend to get angry with what we see happening around us. This can lead to frustration and may even cause us to have feelings toward others that we know God doesn’t want us to have. This brings us to a place where we need to lean on God every single day, to guide us and teach us to live by the Spirit and not by the flesh.

There is also the very major factor of God’s plans and the things that need to be carried out before He can return. There are many things that He has spoken of through His prophets that must happen. Only He knows the timing of those things.

But one thing is for sure. When the time is right, God will bring everything into order. In due season, He will put everything in its proper place.

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

So, don’t lose heart and don’t lose hope. God is faithful to do what He said He will do when He knows the time is right.
