Bible Verse of The Day – 10-31-22

Exodus 3:11 (NKJV) 11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

“Who am I?”.

Those three words were spoken by Moses, the greatest prophet of the Old Testament, as he was faced with carrying out the task that God had given him.

God had chosen him, but Moses wasn’t so sure about God’s choice.

We hear those same three words again, coming from the mouth of David, the man and the king whom God called a man after His own heart.

1 Chronicles 17:16 (NKJV) 16 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

And then we hear them once more, coming from the mouth of Solomon, the greatest king who ever reigned over Israel.

2 Chronicles 2:6 (NKJV) 6 But who is able to build Him a temple, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a temple, except to burn sacrifice before Him?

These words are a stark contrast to the teachings of the world, where we are told that we must understand our self-worth, and that self-esteem is critical to proper childhood development.

As believers, it’s important that we understand that our worth is found only in God, the One who created and redeemed us.

It’s when we truly understand this that we will begin to give God the honor and glory that He deserves in every aspect of our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-19

Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

We are God’s Workmanship. Now that’s something to be thankful for. We were created in Jesus for good works.

We are able to do good works because we were created in Christ Jesus. When someone tries to tell us we are no good, we aren’t worth anything, or they say that we cannot do anything right, know that they are wrong.

We may not be great at everything, but we are God’s workmanship and we were created to do good works. We all have potential. Amen.

There is more to us than what people see or think they know. We can’t let anyone cause us to feel belittled. We are complete in Him, through His Son.

We are His workmanship and we can boast in Him, praising His name forever!

Psalm 44:8 (NKJV) 8 In God we boast all day long, and praise Your name forever.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-9-18

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Many of us struggle with who we are, who God made us to be. We wrestle with trying to be ourselves. And, instead, we try to follow in the footsteps of someone else, emulating someone we know or someone we look up to.

It’s not wrong to see good qualities in others and then work toward having those qualities in ourselves. But way too often we take it beyond that and we try to be that person. We try to walk in their shoes, live their life and almost take on their identity.

But God has created us to be unique. He has placed specific qualities in us that are there for a reason. He has plans that He wants to carry out in each and every one of us. So, the last thing He wants for us is to see us get caught up in trying to become someone else.

You have skills, talents and abilities that were placed in you by your Creator. He has made you who you are. Yes, you may have some faults and shortcomings. We all do. But they are nothing that He can’t help us overcome and correct.

We just have to let Him.

And the way to do that is to submit and surrender to Him. We need to start letting Him guide our steps, showing us what to do and when to do it, instead of us always telling Him what we want to do and how we want to do it.

Father, please forgive me for trying to be someone I am not. Please help me to learn exactly who you created me to be. Help me to stop looking at everyone around me and trying to live their life.

Help me, God, to see myself as someone with a hope and a future, not as someone who has run out of chances. I trust you to do a good work in me and fix the broken things in me. I give you permission to show me how to live my life with my eyes on you, not on others.

Thank you for hearing my prayer. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-21-17

Psalm 139:13 (NKJV) 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.

I want to speak to those today who are in constant battle with shame, guilt, feeling unloved, feeling ugly, unwanted and worthless.

This is a word of knowledge and understanding for you today. You may feel like this because of others mistreating you, picking on you and saying negative things toward you.

At first you didn’t believe them. You didn’t listen. You fought it with everything in you because you knew it wasn’t you. But as it pounded on you, day in and day out, over the years you got tired, and you gave in.

You have received what they have said about you and you have taken it on as truth. You have been sad, angry, depressed and feeling hurt. You try to smile when you’re around people, but the pain in your heart just grows deeper and deeper. You act like nothing is wrong on the outside. But inside, your joy for living has been stolen.

Today you are going to get delivered from this, because deep down inside you know that it is not true. You know that it’s a lie and you will not stand by and be tormented any longer. You will not allow this voice to steal your joy, peace and life. You are done living like this and from now on you are going to live and be who God says you are.

Your Creator calls you “fearfully and wonderfully made”… period. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. It is what it is; Truth!

Psalm 139:14 (NKJV) 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.

If you are going through this today, this prayer is for you.

Dear God in Heaven,

I am sorry for listening and believing the lies that others have spoken about me. Please forgive me. Today I want to believe the truth about me, who You say I am. I want Your help in believing and being all that You have called me to be.

I rebuke the devil and his lies, in Jesus’ name; all that he has been whispering in my ears, causing me to think I am no good, and feeling ashamed of who I am.

Today, is a NEW day and I’m so wanting to be all that You have called me to be and walk in it daily. For You alone, oh Lord, formed and covered me in my Mama’s womb. You alone know me better than any other.

Thank you today, Lord, for Your deliverance and for saving me.

In Jesus’ name I ask. Amen.
