My Bible Verse of The Day - 1-20-25

Proverbs 21:3 (LS 3 To do righteousness and justice Is chosen by Yahweh over sacrifice.

Much of the word of God is aimed toward teaching us how to walk before God; what pleases Him in our lives.

This is about much more than being a good person. It is about obeying Him, that our lives might bring glory and honor to His name.

We often get this principle confused with making sacrifices.

We believe that if we sacrifice our time, our finances, or some other things it will please God even though we fail to obey something He has instructed us to do. But this is a terrible mistake on our part.

The Bible is plain about this, as it is also stated again in 1 Samuel.

1 Samuel 15:22 (NKJV) 22 So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.

Our time and effort are better spent doing as God has instructed us to do rather than what we think we should do.

Our obedience pleases God more than anything else.

Let this serve to remind us of this important truth, that we do not get caught off guard and spend our days making sacrifices while failing to obey Him.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 1-18-25

Psalm 127:3 (NKJV) 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Children are our heritage from the Lord.

They are so important to God. He says, let them come to Me!

Luke 18:16 (NKJV) 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Children need Him! But they will only learn about Him if we know Him and share Him with them. They need to see God alive in us!

What are we showing them today? What do they hear coming from our mouths? What are our actions teaching them to do? What entertainment are we allowing them to partake of?

Are we teaching them to pray? To give thanks? To walk by faith?

We need to nurture and guide them in the word of the Lord by being an example of what we have learned. And let them walk through it with us.

Are we ready to give our children the best guidance of all by allowing them to study His word with us, pray with us, and showing them how to put God first in all they do?

They are the next generation. They need all the wisdom of God they can get. Let them come to Him by us training them.

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Amen.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 1-17-25

Galatians 6:8 (NKJV) 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

God’s word is extremely clear when it comes to the principles of sowing and reaping.

Most times, we think of finances when sowing and reaping are mentioned; if we give much, we will reap much.

And while there is a specific element of truth to that (which we will save as a discussion for another day), sowing and reaping also applies to other scenarios.

We can expect to reap what we sow in many other ways; joy, kindness, spoken words, and much more. We reap from all those things. What we sow, we get back in return, whether good or bad.

In the verse above, we are told very plainly that if we sow to the flesh, we will reap from the flesh.

What does that mean?

The flesh represents everything that is contrary to God; selfishness, lust, jealousy, envy, rage, temper tantrums, willful rebellion, and a list of many other behaviors.

Every one of them drives a wedge between us and God. Yes, we have an Intercessor mediating on our behalf; Jesus Christ Himself.

But having this Mediator does not give us an excuse or the right to willfully walk in the ways of the flesh. We are told very plainly that doing so leads to corruption and death.

Romans 8:13 (NKJV) 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

We beseech everyone today to walk in and by the Spirit. Sow deeds that reap life. Flee from the things that reap death.

And as we do this, not only will we be walking in a way that honors God, but we will also be walking out the things that bring God’s blessings into our lives.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 1-16-25

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

You mean everything to God.

You are probably thinking, “you don’t know what I have done. I have done some really bad things in my life. I have done things that I am very ashamed of.”

“I am not worthy to call on His name. My life has been one mess after the other. And I still can’t get it right.”

“I have committed much sin in my life how could I ever ask God to save me?”

To this, we would say, God knew what we would do before we even did it, and He still sent His only begotten Son to save the world.

Don’t let what you DID affect what you so desperately need to do today.

Confess your sins and give your heart and soul to Him.

We have all made terrible mistakes, and some have been deliberate. Not one of us is perfect and we never will be.

If you truly want salvation, call out to Him right where you are.

Dear God in Heaven,

I believe You have sent Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to save me from my sins. I ask for Your forgiveness for the things I have done in my past, and I need your Salvation in my life today. I ask in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, you are now His child. Your sins have been washed away. You are a new creation in Christ!

You have been given eternal life.

Draw close to Him, through prayer and reading His word daily.

We always recommend you start by reading the book of John, and then continue through the New Testament from there.

We are here if you need anything at all. Feel free to call or write us anytime of the day or night. You can reach us easily by simply replying to any of our daily emails.

Welcome to the family of God. We are rejoicing with you and the Angels in Heaven!
