Bible Verse of The Day – 5-10-14

Proverbs 21:20 (NKJV) There is desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it.

Our prayer for everyone reading this today is that you would be blessed with God’s wisdom in your lives.

Most people pray for God’s blessings and His abundance in a financial sense, but we have learned through the years that blessings without God’s wisdom to handle it properly lead to ruin. For where we lack wisdom, we spend foolishly (squander what we have been blessed with).

So, today, seek God’s wisdom first and ask Him to lead you in everything. Ask Him how to handle all of the things that He blesses you with and that your ways would be pleasing to Him.

In this your homes will be filled with desirable treasure and oil (plenty to eat).

May God bless each and every one of you today with His wisdom and understanding.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-13

(Deuteronomy 4:5-6 NKJV)  “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. {6} “Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’

I love how Moses tells them this is your  wisdom.

What was their Wisdom? The statutes and Judgements. How did it cause them to be wise? By applying them in their lives. That was it. There wasn’t some secretive things they had to do… just apply the statutes and judgements!

Wisdom comes from taking the Word of God and applying it to our everyday life, in our everyday situations. In our homes, on our jobs, at school, in our churches etc.

Wisdom is found in God’s word and is free for us to obtain as we read it, study it and apply it.

Remember… wisdom does not come by just knowing it, we have to act upon it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-29-13

(Proverbs 3:13-14 NKJV)  Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; {14} For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.

Wisdom; It’s something that isn’t attainable unless we take the time to and are willing to learn.

It’s not easily gained, but requires time, patience, effort and in the lives of many people, it takes tests, trials and tough times to gain wisdom.

God will also put people in our lives who can share wisdom with us. This is usually very valuable because these people who have walked through tests and trials in their own lives can share their experiences and what they’ve learned, saving us the trouble of having to learn things the hard way.

And God places a high value on wisdom. Look at what He says in this scripture:

(Proverbs 10:21 NKJV)  The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom.

So don’t shun wisdom and the things that you have to go through to gain it. And if God places a person or people in your life who can share wisdom with you, gobble it up!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-11-13

(Proverbs 3:21-22 NKJV)  My son, let them not depart from your eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion; {22} So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck.

Sound wisdom and discretion; in modern times we call this common sense. God has given all of us common sense. We use it on a daily basis to make choices and decisions.

Sometimes we, as believers, tend to overlook common sense as we try to “get God” on something, or try so very hard to “know what God’s telling us”.

Sometimes we can be trying so hard to be spiritual that we overlook what God is showing us with good old fashioned common sense!

We should always seek God in everything we do. It’s important that we do this and important that we know how to hear Him when he’s speaking to us. But it’s just as important that we know how to use the tools that He has given us (intelligence and common sense), when we don’t seem to have a spiritual answer for a situation.

Sometimes the answer to our problem(s) is staring us in the face, but because it doesn’t reveal itself in some kind of spiritual way, we just don’t see it. Well, this is where common sense needs to kick in and we need to see it for what it is.

This can happen to any one of us, regardless of how spiritual we think we are!

Are you facing a problem today? Are you waiting on God for an answer to that problem? Maybe He hasn’t shown you a solution yet… or maybe He has, but we just need to use common sense to see it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-9-13

(Proverbs 1:10 NKJV)  My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

Very simple verse isn’t it? Very simple and to the point.

But, is it simple to do when we’re around our family, friends, or co-workers; others that don’t know better? Is it easy to pull away? Sometimes we forget that all we have to do is just walk away, or say no.

When we involve ourselves with those that need Jesus, we need to be careful that we don’t get caught up in the way they are living as we witness to them.

We can be a witness to unbelievers by saying no to what they do and yet still be there for them when they need us. If we begin to feel that what they are doing is starting to influence us, then it is time to pull back and take a break.

We need to be built up in Christ when dealing with the unsaved. He will give us the strength, wisdom and understanding that we need. We just need to listen for His voice.

If our walk with Him is not strong and we struggle with our own issues, but someone is asking us for help, that is when we have to be mature enough in Christ to realize we need to point them to someone else that is better able to help them, rather than to try to do it ourselves.

We have seen people try to help others when they weren’t strong enough to handle it. What happened to them? They got dragged down into the pit and that is where they sat, with the ones that they were originally trying to help.

God’s gives us His wisdom and common sense. We just need to listen and do what He shows us to do. His way is always best!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-12

(Prov 3:13 NKJV)  Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;

God’s wisdom is like nothing else in this world.

His wisdom gives us insights for daily living. Some things in life are not as spiritual as we like to make them seem, and God’s wisdom is the guide that we need to help us make the right choices and decisions in these situations.

As we make certain decisions and choices, sometimes all we need to do is use this wisdom and the answer will be staring us right in the face! There are times when things are deeper and require spiritual insight and discernment, but not as often as we think.

We’d like to encourage everyone to dig into God’s word and get His wisdom. The book of Proverbs is full of tidbits that give us what we need for day to day life.

Be strong in His power and might!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-11-12

(Prov 3:13-15 NKJV)  Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; {14} For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. {15} She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

Wisdom is a very valuable thing. We can’t get wisdom simply by wishing for it. It comes by way of years of trials and tests, laboring, learning, struggling, battling and pressing into God.

God has also provided another way for us to gain wisdom; two other ways, actually. First, we can gain wisdom by conferring with people who have been through things in their own lives, and asking them about their own experiences. Second, we can glean wisdom from God’s word.

Regardless of the method by which we obtain wisdom, it’s something that helps us when we need to make choices or take action in situations.

God’s word is the final authority in all situations, so if you get your answers from others who have been through things in life, always be sure to compare it to the word of God.

Our Daddy will never steer us wrong!

Your Daily Bible Verse – 3-5-12

(Col 3:8 KJV)  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Even most kids know at a very young age what are good words and what are bad words. They know that if they say something bad or act miserable and angry towards someone, they get in trouble. As adults we know for sure, but because we think there is no accountability, no one will say anything to us because we are allowed… after all we are adults; it’s our privilege.

The thing we may forget at times is that we are all accountable for our mouths and attitudes towards one another. The things that we have gotten so desensitized to  are not and never will be desensitized to our Father!! These things are the very things He tells us to PUT OFF…Don’t do.

Imagine the HOLY ONE; perfect in all His ways, so beautiful and AWESOME. Our Heavenly Father wants to spend time with us, yet we wake up in the morning and begin our day by shouting and being miserable to our kids or our spouse, then we head to work and carry  our misery with us in there too. And all because we don’t feel so good, or we woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

We are accountable whether we want to be or not. God is with us.

Let’s examine ourselves today and make sure that the things we do and say and the way we act and carry ourselves are pleasing to HIM.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-25-12

(Titus 3:9 KJV)  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

When we find ourselves getting caught up in things that we know are not going to be fruitful, we need to turn away, change the subject or just simply let people know we’d rather not comment or participate. It takes a lot of strength and discipline to do this.

Some of the things we get caught up in are just not healthy conversation and are simply a waste of time. This is when we need God’s discernment; He will show us and help us to avoid certain conversations or people that like to draw others in by statements they make, just to get people going.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-24-12

(Prov 4:7 NKJV)  Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

God seems to be making a push lately, encouraging us to drink in His wisdom and His understanding!

It can never be emphasized enough as to how important it is for us to know God and His word.

In addition to learning what His word says about life and how we should live, we also need to learn to discern His spirit and His voice.

Some people may confuse memorizing scripture with knowing His word, but there is a vast difference. Memorizing scripture is commendable, but when it comes to knowing His word, we also need to know how to apply it to our everyday lives and the situations that we encounter.

Then and only then will we begin to truly understand what He’s telling us through His word.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 1-25-12

(Prov 3:13-14 NKJV) Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; {14} For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.

If at any time we are not sure what to do and feeling confused about the situation we are in or the decision we have to make, remember that God wants us to get His wisdom and understanding; don’t make a decision based on uncertainties. Get God on it.

Wait on Him. Oh how faithful HE is!!

When we get God’s wisdom and understanding, there is NO guessing, and there is no wondering. There is simply a KNOWING that comes. Even if we don’t know the whole thing, just a little piece is Good enough!!

BE HAPPY!!
