The word for today is - Rely!

Good morning,
The word for today is - Rely!
We are told to be careful how we walk, not as unwise men, but as wise. Let's look at Ephesians 5:15, 16 , See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise (carefully). Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Faith needs to be build on God's Word. We cannot rely on others,  we can only rely on God's Word to know the truth! The word from God says the truth sets you free, your free from everything that people say and think.   You have to get to a place in God to know want the word says. Amen ! Does he speak and then not act? No!  Does he promise and not fulfill?" No!  We can trust God's Word. It is the only source that will never lie to us. Proverbs 3:5-6 ,"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."The word is telling us, the Spirit of truth, comes ( the Holy Spirit) he will guide you into all truth." The word says in  2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."   God is in control, He is not surprised by anything, He is going to take care of his children. Everyone needs a bit of encouragement from time to time. Thankfully we have the Bible as our ultimate source of encouraging words! We need to take time out to read the word, and ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. The word says in Matthew 7:7, Ask, and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. The word is clear read the Bible it says everyone that asketh receiveth.  Are you asking ? Thank you God for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - still !

Good morning,
The word for today is - still !
 
Be still and know that I am God!  Psalm 46:10. This does not say know God , but to know that He is God is significant because just knowing that He is God should instill peace in our hearts.  Also, knowing that He is God means that we also know that He is in control and that He loves us,and He extends His grace and mercy.  As Paul says, His grace is sufficient. Knowing that He is God, takes the pressure off of our shoulders to be in control and allows God to take over.  The word from God tells us, do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but it's the Lords'. You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, Read , 2 Chronicles 20. He does not want us to be intimidated by the terror tactics of the enemy. The word says for us to resist the devil, to raise the shield of faith. Don’t run, don’t hide, don’t cower in fear. Confront the enemy!  Position yourselves and stand still, does not mean, “Stand still and do nothing!” It means don’t worry, don’t fret, just put your trust in the Lord. Walk with your head up. The word tells us to set your mind on the things that are above, not on things on the earth. Thank you God for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Faithful !

 
Good morning,
The word for today is - Faithful !
 
 We must remember that the Bible wasn't written to us, but for us. Let's first look at God's faithfulness. God's faithfulness is something that will always prove true.The Bible tells us that, God is Faithful, True, and Unchanging. God is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy and truth. It's in the word, Exodus 34.6, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.. In Psalm 33:4,  For the word of the LORD is right and  all his works are done in truth. He is faithful in all he does. Jeremiah 10.10, But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God,
and an everlasting King.  He is the One ‘Who cannot lie".  In  Psalm 143:1 , Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications; in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. This prayer is asking the Father for something, listen to my cry for mercy, in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. ( Help )! This is a awesome prayer. Amen !  Let's look at the story of the woman that had confidence that she would be healed if she could just touch Jesus' clothing.This was a  woman who had been suffering for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and she was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse (no better). Read it; The woman who touched Jesus’ Garment ,Mark 5:21-34 . She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment, for she said, "If I may touch  but his clothes, I shall be whole (well)."Jesus turned , immediately, about in the crowd and said", "Who touched my clothes?" The woman came in fearing and trembling,she  came and fell down before him, and told him all (the-whole )truth. Jesus tells her thy (your) faith has made you whole (well). She was healed not because Jesus wanted to heal her,  but rather because she had faith in Him.   Where is your faith ? Is your faith in God or man ? The word tells us in Titus 3:5, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Let's look at  Ephesians 2:8, For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God .  Do you see that it's a gift from your Father. Do you want it ? John 1:12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Thank you God for your gift. Amen !

The word for today is - Evil !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Evil !
 
Let's look at Romans 12:17 , Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Amen ! God is telling us, For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another. The word from God says but overcome evil with good. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: We are not to think like the world. Read  Proverbs chapter 24. Do not say, "I'll do to him as he has done to me; I'll pay that man back for what he did." God says to love your enemies. But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you read in Luke 6. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble read 1 John 2. The word from God is  ,A new command I give you: Love one another, as I have loved you, in John 13.  So you must love one another, . Thank you God for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Glory !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Glory !
 
1 Corinthians 10:31,Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. In everything give thanks to God.  Let's look at the glory in John 17:16-17,They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.We are not of this world, we are His disciples we have a great work to do for the glory of God. Christ does not pray that we might be rich and great in the world, but that we might be kept, strengthened, and brought safe to Him. This is awesome, He is saying a prayer for us the believers. The Glory of God is with us ! Philippians 2:11, And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. It is to the glory of God the Father, to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; for it is his will, that all men should honour the Son as they honour the Father, read John 5. Thank you God for your word, your word is true. Amen !

The word for today is - Think !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Think !
Choose words carefully, ( he that refraineth his lips is wise) Proverbs 10, and refuse to bad mouth others , James 3. Finally, in some cases, the best thing to say is nothing at all. As it's said in Proverbs 17:28, "Even a fool when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise.."  What circumstances lead you to say things that later, you wish you had said differently? While you’re talking, consider what you’re saying and keep a close watch on the reactions. The Bible maintains that gossip does not serve a useful purpose. The word from God says, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself , Mark 12.  Jesus' Golden Rule is, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." We should not say or do anything unless we can answer "Yes" to the question, "Would I want that said or done to me?" No!  Should we fail to do good things for others. No ! There is no place for hatred, holding a grudge or getting even in the life of a believer.  Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you . This is the word from God. Thank you God for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Change !

The word for today is - Change !
Forgive me my mother called  .  So, lets look at the word for today, change. The word from God says, God change not. The Bible teaches that God is eternal. (God is eternal and does not change). The Bible describes God as unchangeable.  In Psalm 90," From everlasting to everlasting , thou art God."  Amen !  The question is for some people, "Does God change His mind?"No !  In James 1 it tells us, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” In Numbers 23 it's clear, “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? No! Does He promise and not fulfill?” No! God does not change His mind. These verses assert that God is unchanging and unchangeable. God does not regret His decisions, but He is saddened by some of what man sometimes does in response to His decisions. God does not change His mind but rather acts consistently with His Word in response to our actions. when the Bible speaks of God changing His mind, it must be understood that the circumstance or situation has changed, not God. So when Exodus 32:14 and 1 Samuel 15:11-29  talk about God changing His mind, it is simply describing a change of dispensation, and outward dealings, toward man. If anything changes it must change for the better or the worse, because a change that makes no difference is not a change. If you change something to please mankind  that's for the worse, but if you do something which is a change for the better that is good. It says in  Romans 12:2,  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect  will of God. Let's look at Galatians 1:10, For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? No! For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
