Day 2135 of the 7 day Bible verse challenge.


Hebrews 10:23 NIV

If 2020 has taught us anything it's that we need something extremely powerful to hold onto in life. No matter how much wishing and hoping we try, we will never be able to eliminate the uncertainty and surprise from life. We will always be faced with things that are beyond our control. So we need something that is unmovable inside of us to keep from getting rocked when life inevitably hits again.

Our faith brings us this hope that is unending and unwavering. Sure we still get hit by the things that life brings our way. It's one of those facts of life that nobody can escape. But even though we face things that are beyond our control we don't have to be at the mercy of emotions or the frustration that comes with trials and tribulations.

I wanted to share this one today because we're less than a week from a new year. This time more than ever before we're all ready to ditch the old and hopefully welcome a new year that is lightyears better than this last one. But that's not a given. That's not a thing that we can control. As we experienced these past 12 months, we don't have any clue whatsoever what tomorrow holds. And while we hope that better days are ahead we should also remain steadfast and prepared in the event that they're aren't.

As we get ready to turn that calendar over to a new set of months remember to start off clinging to your faith. I pray that as we move forward everyone would make faith and their relationship with Christ the utmost priority in life. It's one thing that we have a say in. It's one thing that we can control a little bit. Life will always be uncertain but faith will always be more powerful than those unknowns.

Above all always remember that our hope is in God and God will always be faithfully good to us. Life may not always be good but He definitely will! So moving ahead be sure that your life is anchored in Him because that's the only way to remain steady when life gets bumpy. He is powerful enough to lead us through whatever lies up ahead. Lean on Him today and every day we have left and I promise that those better days will come around! And not because life will suddenly be easier or smoother but because it doesn't matter when we remember that God's still in control!

Day 2016 of the 7 day Bible verse challenge.

Matthew 6:20 NIV Yesterday I posed a very big question: have you ever thought about the vastness of eternity? I'm just afraid that so many people are living for these lives only, and that's going to lead to quite a shock when we reach the end of this leg of the trip only to find that something else really does come next. So I just want to encourage everyone to take today's verse to heart. This is one that my mom likes to quote and share quite often. And it's really a very important lesson that everyone needs to learn and always keep in mind. While we're surrounded by all kinds of messages, things, wants, and desires, we need to always keep our priorities in line. We can't afford to let ourselves become distracted by all the wares that our world offers up. The thing that I think we've fallen for is this idea of value. We're told that all this worldly stuff is highly valuable. Now if that's the case, then we automatically think that having it or going

Luke 6:27 NIV I was presented the chance earlier today to experience one of those amazing opportunities to realize that I'd been wrong. You see my family and I had bought some Bibles to send to a couple of people, and we just hadn't gotten around to sending them yet. Since the time that we bought them, we kind of had this weird and unfortunate falling out of sorts with one of them. And I'm embarrassed to admit that it had me second guessing whether or not to send the gift.  Seeing as how this difference of opinion has gone, I had gotten it in my mind that I didn't want to send something to someone only for them to throw it away. But all along, my mom has been there saying no, we need to send it anyway. And today, we finally got them boxed up and sent out. But if anything, I may have ended up getting the biggest gift out of everyone involved. We don't get to decide who is worthy of our kindness. We don't get to pick and choose who we're going to do good thing

Matthew 15:8 NIV It seems as though perhaps the distance from our heads to our hearts is, at times at least, much the same as the separation we so often feel between here and hope. For though our lips are geographically close to the hearts which pound inside a craving for more than we can say we need, say we know, yet sadly despite their being so near to our knowing what we need, we find that our mouths and our hearts are existing as if in two foreign places. Because while our heads may hold lips that let on that we know we need Heaven's hope as having come in Christ, our hearts remain among the ultimate deceivers as they lead us daily back into the brink wherein we break away all over again into disbelief as designed inside a heart’s desires kindling fires forsaking that faith which yearns only for a fellowship with He who is everything we could ever need. Indeed, it seems to matter not what our tongues here confess as our hearts head us always into following the path our mouths c
