Day 2192 of the 7 day Bible verse challenge.


1 Peter 4:11 NIV

Today is the 6 year anniversary of that very first daily Bible post back in 2015. I definitely never thought that I would keep that going for this long! But I'm beyond thankful for the opportunity and ability to do so. One of the biggest things that I've discovered along the way is that God's given each of us a voice and an opportunity to make a difference. And while our voices may sound different and our callings are also unique, each one of them is truly important!

I wanted to share that with you today because I know that life is often frustrating. We can easily start feeling like we don't matter. There are so many people in this world, each with a lot going on. So it's far too easy to feel like we're forgotten, alone, and meaningless. But you're not! None of us are. Every single one of us is known and loved by the One True King! And each of us can make a huge difference with these lives that He's given us.

He didn't just put us together and send us off to live life as we see fit. He created us with a specific mission in mind. Some might be really big. Others are quite small. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if we reach one person or a million. What matters is that we spend our lives following where God leads and spreading the truth through the doors that He opens to do so.

Our post the other day talked about how we're all a part of something bigger than we can comprehend. It really is amazing that God can use each of us for something. Maybe it's sharing the Gospel with someone who's never heard it before. Maybe it's giving someone the encouragement to keep going when they're ready to give up. Or it could be something as simple as just being kind to strangers. Whatever the case may be, we need to always remember that we're here for a reason.

So wherever you are today just know that God has you there on purpose. Know that there are doors opening and opportunities coming to make a positive impact in this life. Whatever you do, whatever you say do it all for the glory of God. Live life in a way that points others to Him and reminds them of the amazing promises that He has for all of us. That's something that will always be needed!

As I've often said in these posts, it's not about the size of the impact we have. What matters is that we're following God and living out His will for our lives. Even if we reach just one then we've made a life-changing difference. So never doubt your worth or importance. When we're living to share Christ and His love with those around us then there's simply no way that we can't make a difference that truly matters!

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
