My Bible Verse of The Day - 7-16-26

Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

As we celebrate my husband’s 64th birthday today, I am feeling very blessed and thankful for God bringing us together, and having such a precious life with him by my side.

We are so very blessed to have been through many wonderful seasons of life and being able to share them with each other.

As you all know, in any marriage there are good times, and hard times. But no matter what season we were in, it has been exciting to make it to the other side together. Is it challenging at times? Absolutely!

But, with God at the head of our marriage, we learned, we grew, and we became stronger as a couple.

We have truly become one throughout the years, and it is the most beautiful experience one could have ever wanted.

Be blessed in your marriage today, yes, in the good seasons and in the hard ones!

He is faithful to get you to the other side!

Amen.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 7-15-26

Matthew 6:31-32 (LS 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

There is something about learning godly contentment that goes far beyond what words can describe.

Jesus taught us in the verses above that we should not worry about what we will eat, or what we will wear.

And if you think about it, those are the things that people worry about most often; food and clothing.

We fret constantly about them. They are the things that are most important for our survival.

And yet, for all the times when we have fretted and worried, how many times have we been without?

As David said in Psalm 37:25, I was young, but now I am old.

I was once young. I am now no longer young.

And one thing that I can say with complete confidence is that God is faithful.

We have walked through some devastatingly difficult times in our lives, and we can proclaim truthfully and boldly that we have never gone without.

God has always supplied our needs.

And in that, we have learned to be content, whether we have had little or much.

He has taught us that treasure does not lie in earthly material possessions, but in trusting Him and valuing godly contentment over everything.

So, we say to you, “trust God’. Learn to be content. And stop worrying about what you will eat, drink, or wear.

Be content. Trust Him. And watch Him move on your behalf 🙏🏻

My Bible Verse of The Day - 7-14-26

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.

Children want to know the truth.

It’s up to us to give it to our children; to train them up in knowing who God is and what He did for us.

Not only do they want to know, they need to know God’s plan. His plan of redemption through His son, Jesus Christ, One man, who gave His life to save the entire world.

No child should ever feel they are alone. Every child needs to hear that God is there for them.

He can make our lives in this wicked place, earth, to be very rewarding if we follow Him!

He will help us make it through life when we face difficult battles, teaching us how to handle situations that could very well take us out.

Our children need to know about our Heavenly Father, our Savior, Jesus Christ, and Helper, the Holy Spirit. The whole truth and nothing but the truth!

He will walk daily with our children as we teach them, even at a young age, to seek Him.

Psalm 63:1 (NKJV) 1 O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.

Amen.

My Bible Verse of The Day - 7-13-26

2 Timothy 1:9 (NLT) 9 For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was His plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.

There are many things we could study in this verse today. It contains many spiritual gems, to be sure!

But let’s focus on one thing in this verse today; God’s grace toward us.

This verse starts out by reminding us that God has saved us and called us to live a holy life; a life set apart (consecrated).

And we are also reminded that He didn’t do this because we deserved it or earned it.

On the contrary, we deserved anything but God saving us.

But then we are told that God did this as part of His plan since the beginning of time to show us His grace!

You see, despite ourselves, God chose to save us so we could see His grace in action, not just from a distance, but up close and personal.

And that, my friends, is truly remarkable; a miracle in plain sight transforming us on a day-to-day basis.

Sometimes we tend to look far too deeply. We search for miracles elsewhere. We strive to accomplish things in our lives that God never meant for us to try to accomplish.

We wish our lives away in search of something elusive; something we were never meant to find or attain, thinking that we must achieve or find this thing to prove our faith or to prove God’s existence in our lives.

But all the while He is right there in our face, trying to show us who He is by His grace and mercy over our lives!

It is why He chose us and saved us!

His grace is all over our lives in more ways than we can imagine. We just fail to recognize it because we’re looking elsewhere, for things we were not meant to look for.

We must learn to recognize His grace in our lives if we are to appreciate it and give Him the honor and glory that is due Him 🙏🏻
