Tag: What the Bible says about God’s word

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-18

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Many of us are looking for answers. We have questions and concerns. We want to better understand God and who He is. Maybe we don’t understand why certain things happen the way they do.

This is common for all of us. We think, and we try to sort things out in our heads. We try to make sense of the things we see and hear. Sometimes we can, but most of the time we just can’t seem to put all of the pieces together in a way that makes sense.

God’s word is the key that unlocks all of these things for us. Some people call it “the how-to manual for life”. It’s true. It is that. But it is so much more!

God’s word goes beyond life here on earth and helps give us a better understanding of all things spiritual. He uses it to teach us how to live here, and how to prepare for life with Him in eternity.

Yes, that seems like a lot to swallow. A lot to try to comprehend. But He doesn’t ask us to try to comprehend it all. He asks us to trust Him. And it’s His word that teaches us how to do that, too, to trust Him.

If we are not spending time in His word on a regular basis, we are living this life malnourished and without understanding. And we are fighting our battles under-equipped and unprepared, losing more than we are winning.

It’s time for us all to dig deep into His word, grow in our understanding and become the strong, mature believers He has called us to be.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-18

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Knowing the word of God and what He says about certain things is our weapon against the enemy. It helps protect us from his lies, deceit and temptation.

If we don’t know what God says about something, it makes it easier for us to fall into the devil’s trap. We need to educate ourselves and stay fresh and revived.

Let God revive us daily, keeping ourselves close enough to Him so that we will learn something new on a regular basis. We will have a revival in our hearts every day.

Do you need to be revived? Get in God’s word! Don’t wait. Get in there and start reading, even if it’s a little at a time to start off. Dig deep. You will come out refreshed, renewed and revived!

You will see your heart change right before your eyes, and you will have life and life more abundantly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-18

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Staying in God’s Word will keep us close to Him.

The devil loves to keep us busy and distracted with a million and one things to do, people pulling on us from every direction, just to keep us out of the word of God. Why? Because God’s Word that we put in us will feed us, fill us and keep us healthy and balanced, moving us forward every day.

It’s not good to give up our time with God to do other things. If we have an emergency, or something comes up and we have to change things up a bit, that’s OK. But, make sure we get our time in with Him. He will start us off every day on the right track.

There have been days when I am completely in a tizzy before I even get out of bed. But as soon as I get myself in the word and in prayer, God just sets me straight. Isn’t He AWESOME?!

You see the enemy will work hard at bringing in distractions even before we get out of bed. Our heads will get so full of thoughts of what needs to be done that we lose our focus before we even start the day.

So, hold the Word close to us. Keep it within reach, so that when we need it, it will be right at our fingertips! Just open it up and start reading.

God is faithful to help us through each day. Stay close to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-6-17

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Being equipped in the word of God will help us to discern the teachings, movements and errors that pop up now and then.

His word helps us in every area of our life. It helps us to know whether or not we are being fooled. It equips us to know how to handle certain situations that we may face. It keeps us balanced in our hearts and prevents us from taking things to extremes, etc.

It’s sad to think that good, innocent people get off track because they don’t know what the word says at times.

They love God and want to do what is right. But sometimes they get caught up in the wrong thing because they don’t know what the scripture says regarding it.

There are Christians right now, as we speak, who are walking a path that’s far from the truth, because of things they heard or saw, and they unwittingly accepted them as truth.

It’s important that, as believers, we know the scriptures. And it is equally as important that we understand them in their proper context.

Why? Because if we don’t know what God’s word says, we will listen to whatever may sound good, or whatever may feel good at the time. And we may mistake it as God’s truth.

We need to remember that not everything God says or does feels good. He brings perfect balance through His word, even when it might not feel pleasant.

God’s word helps us and protects us from being misled by those things that might sound like truth, but can actually lead us into error and away from God’s truth.

Psalm 33:4 (NKJV) 4 For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-19-17

Matthew 13:8 (NKJV) 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” 

Today we’ll look at the last of the different types of seeds that Jesus taught about in the parable of the sower and the seeds. 

This last bunch of seeds fell on good ground. 

This means that when they heard the word of God, they received it and held it close to their hearts. They treasured it and did whatever it took to protect it, nurture it and make it grow. 

And, in turn, those seeds went on to bear much fruit. Some a hundredfold, some sixty and some thirty. 

Think about that. A hundredfold return on one seed. Or even sixty or thirtyfold. Those are extremely high returns! 

These hearts took the word of God seriously and not only nurtured it in their own lives, but also helped to share it with others. 

They saw it as being so important that they diligently worked to make it multiply, in their own lives and in the lives of those around them. 

Luke 8:15 (NKJV) 15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. 

But did you notice that last word or two? With patience. 

They took their time. They gave it the proper time and attention needed to bring it to fruition. And, in return, they didn’t just get a return, they saw a huge harvest. 

Patience is critical. We need to not be in such a hurry all the time. Remember that those who were in a hurry lost their faith because the cares of the world and the pursuit of riches choked it out and caused it to die. 

Treasure God’s word. Cherish it. Protect it and hold it close to your heart. 

And you will reap a harvest, in your own life, and for the kingdom of God, a hundredfold, sixtyfold or thirtyfold.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-18-17

Matthew 13:7 (NKJV) 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 

As the sower continued to sow his seeds, there were some that fell on thorny ground. 

The thorns in this verse represent the cares of this world, and the worldly riches that so many of us spend our lives seeking desperately after. 

Sadly, there are very many people who fall into this category. The world will offer us so much to hold our time and attention. 

Careers, hobbies, personal vanity, material possessions, bigger homes, luxurious cars and a huge list of other things. 

We can dawdle away our lives in search of these things, and if we’re not careful, our love for God gets pushed to the back burner. And before we know it, that love starts to falter and grow weaker. 

Soon, if we’re not careful, that flame will smolder and go out. And we will have traded our destiny for wealth, material things and the attention of others. 

We can’t stress enough how important it is to guard our hearts and make God’s treasures our own.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-17-17

Matthew 13:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 

As the sower continued to sow his seeds, some of them fell on stony ground. 

Stony ground has very little dirt. There is some, but not enough to support healthy growth or longevity. 

Seeds sown on stony ground will typically spring up quickly, since they don’t get buried very deep in the dirt. But as the sun hits them, they also dry up and whither very quickly. And as quickly as they sprang to life, they die. 

They live a very short life and bear no fruit. 

Such is the word of God when it is heard and received by some. They immediately embrace it, and are full of joy! But they have no root and it only lasts for a while. 

When they face trials and persecution because of the word, they immediately stumble. 

It’s so important that we take His word seriously. We need to absorb it and get it embedded deeply within us. And as we do this, it is protected and will sustain us through everything we face in life. 

We will continue tomorrow. As always, embrace His word and hold it deep in your hearts. His word is life!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-17

Matthew 13:1-3 (NKJV) 1 On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 

The parable of the sower and the seeds has a lot of valuable lessons for each of us. 

During the next few days we will cover each of the various scenarios that Jesus talked about regarding where the seeds fell and whether they grew or not. 

So, let’s start off with Matthew 13:4. 

Matthew 13:4 (NKJV) 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 

Jesus went on to explain that the seeds being spread by the sower represent the word of God being shared with those who don’t know Him. 

As His message of love and hope is shared, the “seeds” fall on various kinds of ground. 

In verse 4, the seeds fell by the wayside. And they never stood a chance to grow at all because they were immediately devoured by birds. 

The seeds, in this case, represent the Word that is shared in a way that can’t be understood by the ones hearing it. And because it can’t be understood, it bears no fruit at all. 

The enemy immediately comes and steals it before it can take root and grow in their hearts. 

It’s important that, as we share God’s word with others who don’t know Him, we listen to and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. He will guide us as to what to say and how to say it. 

And as we heed His instructions, He will give us the right words to speak at the right time. And those words will be like seeds sown in fertile ground, yielding a harvest for the kingdom of God. 

More on this tomorrow!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-28-17

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

God wants us to be diligent in our walk with Him so we can get His approval.

What does that mean and how do we do that? Let’s take a look.

First, we need to be studying His word. This is the only way we can learn about and get a better understanding of who He wants us to be.

Through it, we will also gain a better understanding of Him. And this will lead to a better, stronger relationship with Him.

And as we go through life and its trials, we will learn how to walk in victory, living and walking by God’s spirit. We will not be ashamed because we will learn to let Him lead us through everything we face.

And as we study and walk out His word, we will gain valuable insight as to the truth of it. That truth will give us a strong spirit and better understanding of spiritual things. In turn, we will have better discernment of the many things we encounter in everyday life.

This spells victory for us on a daily basis.

Studying His word isn’t just for “Bible scholars”. It’s for every believer, regardless of age, level of education or any other factor.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-12-17

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I had a vision of a knight sitting on a white horse. He was holding a sword.

Across from him stood a black beast that looked similar to a bull/ox. Sitting on him was a creature in full armor. He also carried a sword, but his sword seemed huge, with a lot of blades coming off it. The beastly looking creature threatened the knight, saying with a loud voice, “You will die!”.

The knight on the white horse took two steps back and dashed at the beast, with his sword drawn. He leapt in the air, over the top of the beast. As he was over the beast, he took his sword and stuck it down through the top of the creature, penetrating right through to the bull/ox, leaving them both dead.

The knight got down off his horse, cut of the head of the creature, putting his foot on the bull/ox. In one hand, he held up the head of the creature and in the other hand he held up his sword.

God showed me that the black creature and his ride were symbolic of sin and how it can be very intimidating, threatening and seem impossible to overcome.

But the sword that the knight carried was symbolic of the WORD of God. And if we choose His word and choose what is right over that which is wrong, that is how quickly we can destroy sin and have victory over it!!

Let the word of God help us to defeat sin. Amen
