Scripture of the Day - September 7, 2012

Hebrews 10:38  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Faith is as essential for the spiritual as oxygen is for the physical. Without faith it is impossible to please God because without faith you won't obey God. You need faith to allow God to guide you and God, in His infinite mercy, has given each one of us a measure of faith. We have no excuse. We have to use our faith. Some may have more faith than others but you must use what you have. Moses only had a rod when God called him to lead the people out of Egypt, but he went and we know the result! The widow of Zarephath had faith enough to give her last bit of food to Elijah and she never had to worry about food running out again! 
Don't draw back your faith from God. Let Him have pleasure in you and bless you beyond your wildest expectations.

Scripture of the Day - September 6, 2012

Hebrews 13:17  Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Ooooh, here's a command that we don't like...in particular, the word submit. We are are society that does not like the idea of submitting. It's our way or no way. But God is not impressed with that attitude at all. He expects us to submit one to another and to watch out for each other. Those who continuously strive with their leaders, and constantly cause trouble are walking a dangerous path. They may have their way for now but they will not profit, God will take vengeance on that attitude.  Romans 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Scripture of the Day - September 5, 2012

Leviticus 19:35  Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36  Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37  Therefore shall ye observe ALL my statutes, and ALL my judgments, and DO them: I am the LORD.

We all have different ideas of what is important in being a Christian. We call them convictions and we stand firm on our convictions. But sometimes our convictions aren't enough. God expects us to observe ALL of His commands...not just know them but DO them. We had better be careful of the commands that we brush aside. They may be far more important than our own convictions.

Scripture of the Day - September 4, 2012

Proverbs 3:7  Be not wise in thine own eyes... 

Spurgeon said that a sense of our own folly is a great step toward being wise when it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord and how right he was. The wisest man in the world instructed us to   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. 
Too often we think we know better and we think we know how things should be and in that blindness we miss where God is trying to lead us and we miss out on the blessings He has for us. But if we allow God to guide us with His advice (or more aptly put...His purpose); He will receive us with honor. Psalm 73:24

Scripture of the Day - September 3, 2012

Deuteronomy 31:6  Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

God will not fail you. He is with you to the end. Put full confidence in Him. Don't dishonor Him with doubts and fear when troubles assail you, rather turn to Him and and show the strong man of this world how strong you are in your weakness because you've yolked yourself to Jesus and are resting in the everlasting arms of your Savior.

Scripture of the Day - September 2, 2012

2 Corinthians 12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 

In our weakness, if we turn to God and trust in Him we will see His strength. Not, mind you, because that's the only time He is strong, rather, it's then that we actually see His strength. Folks we have to understand how strong our God is. Paul said the weakness of God is stronger than men...meaning...if you could say God has a weakness even that is stronger than men. We are often too busy doing for ourselves to turn to Him. We often think we need to take care of things ourselves and do it our way. And when things don't go the way we planned, when things don't work out as we expected, we become disillusioned and disappointed with God. Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him, and you will have a new lease on life.

Scripture of the Day - September 1, 2012

Psalm 27:14  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Oh the hardest thing to do is wait! How we hate to wait! We want our answer now! We want our blessing yesterday! We are a busy people and we expect our God to be busy for us! But God says... slow down my child, I've got all things under control, you don't need to worry and fret, be of good courage and trust in Me, I will strengthen you with my Spirit. You see it's not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit that you will have victory.
