Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-21

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.

Have you ever looked back at your life and wished that you had listened to counsel or instruction given by someone who knew better than you did about something?

I know I do. And I’m sure we all do from time to time.

Wisdom comes by way of those who pass it down to us, as well as being gained through life’s experiences.

The easiest way, by far, to gain insight and understanding, is by way of those around us who have walked through things that have taught them valuable lessons, and are willing to pass it along to us.

What’s cool is that this can be from people we know personally, or it can be through the words penned in scripture, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The wisdom to be gleaned in either of these two ways is invaluable, and it can literally change our lives if we heed and follow those words.

The book of Proverbs is rich with insights, wisdom and understanding that’s in little bite-sized pieces that are easy to digest and understand. So, we encourage you to take those beautiful nuggets and gobble them up like candy!

As we digest them, God will increase our understanding, and the path of our life will be forever altered.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-20

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…

We are living in a time where we absolutely need to have knowledge and understanding.

We need to be incredibly discerning, so as not to be fooled by so many of the things that we hear and see. This includes the things we see in the world, and the things we see and hear within the church.

The world we live in has become a very dangerous place. We are being challenged every day when it comes to our walk with God and the way we see and perceive what is going on around us.

Without knowledge, understanding and discernment, we will be easily deceived and persuaded by wolves in sheep’s clothing, and possibly even by some who make no effort whatsoever to disguise themselves or their schemes.

So, wisdom is required as we learn to discern what we’re seeing and hearing, that we don’t become victims of the wolves in our midst.

Matthew 10:16 (NKJV) 16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

We can’t let ourselves get distracted by all the events that constantly vie for our attention. Our focus needs to be solely on God and what His spirit is showing us and telling us during these times.

It can be difficult to understand it all. And this is why it’s so important that we stay close to Him, feasting on (devouring) His word each day and spending time communing and conversing with Him.

Church, this is not a dress rehearsal. It is not a trial run. We live in a real world, with real demons, deceitfulness, deviousness, wickedness and divisiveness.

The goal of this message is not to cause fear, but to prick the hearts of everyone who reads it, causing an awakening to come; to shake us out of our slumber and stir our hearts into action.

Press in to Him. Listen for His voice. And heed what He tells us.

He is our fortress, our rock, to Whom we shall cling and be safe.

Psalm 18:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-12-16

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Knowledge and understanding are so critical in our walk with God. It isn’t necessarily worldly or natural knowledge that we need. We shouldn’t be ignorant when it comes to the matters of the world, but getting God’s wisdom is the most important thing.

So many times we can cause problematic situations in our lives to be prolonged because we lack God’s knowledge, wisdom and understanding. As we face trials and tough situations, it really helps to know what God’s word says about various things that we encounter.

This helps us to be able to make wise decisions and choices quickly. And not only does it save time, but it keeps us from falling prey to things that will harm us or those around us.

Proverbs 16:16 (NKJV) 16 How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Sharp discernment is also very important, as it will help us know how to judge the things we’re seeing and hearing around us, so we will know whether it’s God speaking to us or not. And once we learn to recognize God’s voice, that will also help us to follow His direction.

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

Get knowledge. Get Wisdom. Get understanding.
