Scripture For The Day

 Scripture For The Day  April 16th, 2024  "Have You Lost Your Words?" This morning as I was studying His Word and sharing with an individual I was reminded of an honest and real conversation the other day with a group of ladies regarding losing our song.  That doesn't mean losing salvation. Thank God there is no chance of that. We are kept in His Hands when we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts. It doesn't mean falling away.  But 'losing your song' means something else. It means struggle. It means the world is bearing down, heavily, on your shoulders.  I've always got a song on my heart and I'm so thankful for that. My eldest grandson gets tickled because I can turn any conversation into a song. But I understood exactly what my friend was saying. Because I have felt that way as well. For me lately, I feel like I have not only 'lost my song' at times but I have lost 'the words'. The 'word' to share what's on my heart any giv...

 Scripture For The Day  April 8th, 2024  "This Is the Day"  I woke up this morning with a heavy heart and a tad bit frustrated if I'm honest. So, I went to The One I always go to. I began praying and asking The LORD to speak to my heart and give me peace. Immediately Psalms 118:24 came to my heart; "This is the day which the LORD hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." I used to go to a church that this was our theme song. So, my heart began singing the scripture.  Every day is a blessing from The LORD. Every day belongs to Him. So, let us rejoice and be glad in it. You can speak all the Christianese there is to speak. You can tick all the "Christian" boxes but if you don't have love, if you don't have compassion, if you don't have understanding, you have nothing. Paul tells us all about that in 1 Corinthians 13. It doesn't matter how much 'work' you do for The Lord. Without Love and Patience and Compassion and Understand...

 Scripture For The Day  April 5th, 2024  "God Sees You"  "Feeling insignificant really hurts but regardless of our feelings, we do have real value. We are made in God's image; created for great things! Life chips away at our souls, but God sees us as priceless. So much so, that God sent His Only Son into our world to take away our pain and offer us a new start."  These words were in an article I read this morning and it struck my heart..."Life chips away at our souls".  Life can definitely bring us down at times. This world is going to hell in a handbasket and that's the truth. It breaks my heart for those that feel 'invisible'. I know how that feels cause I've been there myself. But we are so much more than the sum of our pasts. We are so much more than what people may think of us. We are so much more than what this world has to offer. We have been wonderfully and fearfully made by an Almighty Loving Creator and Father. We are loved so...

 Scripture For The Day  April 3rd, 2024  "Beauty From Ashes"  I was reading in Isaiah 61 this morning as I have done numerous times. But today it felt different. This passage is a beautiful picture for not only the mourning people of Israel but for all of us who have felt loss and hurt for whatever reason. Maybe it's not the loss of a loved one. Even though an unexpected loss is like no other type of loss. It can be difficult to see past the pain. But maybe you are struggling with a different kind of loss. Maybe you are struggling financially. Maybe you are struggling with your health; with your mind; with your heart. Maybe you're just struggling to survive. Everyone struggles. Whatever the loss. It can leave us unable to think straight. Our vision somehow becomes impaired. We try to do better. We try to see better. But we fail to see past our hurting hearts.  The loss leaves us feeling defeated. Maybe even rejected. But then there's God. Isaiah 61 is a reminder...
