My Bible Verse of The Day - 3-22-25
Matthew 13:54-55 (NKJV) 54 When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
We must let God speak to our spirit and take us deeper than what our natural mind knows, to fully understand certain things. To be able to walk in faith completely.
We may think that we know things about a situation or person. But sometimes we may miss things that we don’t know about them if we rely totally on our own understanding.
This is a moment in the verses above that they should have allowed God take them beyond their natural understanding.
Logic can surely get in our way at times, causing us to miss out on God’s mighty work.
Matthew 13:58 (NKJV) 58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Jesus could not do many things in His hometown because of the unbelief of the people there. They had too much logical understanding and didn’t give Spirit-led answers a place.
Why?
Because they knew where He lived, and who His mother, brothers, etc. were. They could not get the fact that He was the Messiah.
They lived in unbelief because of logic.
This is very sad. We must not let our logic get in the way of the Spirit of God showing us truth and giving us the answers we need at times.
Dear God in Heaven,
I’m so very sorry for getting in the way of Your answers for me. At times I thought I knew better just because I had some logical understanding of the situation, person, etc. Please forgive me and help me to get better at this. Show me how to put my logic aside and allow you to take me deeper. Show me Your way. Give me Your answers and understanding. I will trust and believe You, for You are my God!
In Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s name I pray. Amen.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 3-21-25
2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
This verse is one of the deepest scriptures in the entirety of God’s word.
Yes, it rivals the depth of, “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
It rivals God forming Adam from the dust of the earth, and breathing life into him.
It rivals the 6 days of creation.
And it rivals about anything else we can think of in God’s word.
Consider this. God took on human form in Jesus. He came to earth. He dwelt among men. He taught His disciples truths that were too much for the human mind to comprehend.
And then He offered His (perfect) life as a sacrifice for our sins so that we would not have to pay the price that was the penalty for our sin.
And here is the deepest part; He made Him who knew no sin (Jesus) to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God through Him (Jesus).
We became righteous in God’s sight through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, by no act of our own, and by no power of our own, far outside of our human understanding.
Think about that. Really think about that!
We had nothing whatsoever to do with this entire act. And yet He offers it to us free of charge and paid in full because of His grace and mercy.
We do NOT deserve it. We can NOT earn it.
He gives it to us freely by simply trusting Him by faith.
Go ahead. Try to fully comprehend that by human understanding. It is NOT possible.
But it is true, nonetheless.
And this is where we see the power of the verses in Proverbs 3:5-6, when God tells us not to lean on our own understanding, but to acknowledge Him in all our ways.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
If you are in need of something to hold onto today, this is it.

My Bible verse of The Day - 3-20-25
Matthew 16:15-16 (NKJV) 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Peter could only know this and give such an answer because God had shown him. His relationship with God is what gave him the wisdom and understanding to speak such truth.
Peter declaring Jesus as divine, the promised Messiah was an understanding that came solely by divine revelation.
Matthew 16:17 (NKJV) 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
Go, Peter!
This is what happens when we have a relationship with our Lord. We get His understanding and wisdom!
What is our relationship with our Lord like today?
Would we be able to answer such a question as Peter did with such confidence? With such understanding?
Let us press into God today. Grow closer to Him in our walk. Let Him help us go deeper.
God bless each one of you today. Our prayers are for you to have an understanding of our Lord that when we are asked such a question, we will jump at the opportunity to shout it from the rooftops with much confidence, because we KNOW!
Matthew 10:27 (NKJV) 27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.
He is the Christ, the Son of the living God! Amen.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 3-19-25
Isaiah 48:10 (NKJV) 10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
God’s word frequently likens our lives to precious metals, which are more pure when purified by fire.
The fire referred to in these references is the trials and tribulations that we face from time to time.
These times of pressure and difficulty squeeze us. And in the process, as we allow God to walk us through them, the squeezing pressure that we experience causes the impurities in us to be forced out.
God uses these times to cleanse us.
No one likes trials. But they will surely come regardless of our preferences. God’s word tells us this repeatedly.
John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Jesus told us to be of good cheer because He has overcome the world.
But His word also tells us more!
Romans 5:3-4 (NKJV) 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
These same trials and tribulations are good for us, producing perseverance, character, and hope.
Nothing that is painful ever feels good while we are experiencing it. But when the pain and struggle is past, we can see the benefits more clearly.
Let us glory in (embrace) trials with a different attitude and a Biblical point of view that allows God to use them to refine us as gold refined in the fire.
