Verse of the Day:

Romans 12:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12 Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

3 For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

Verse of the Day: Isaiah 43:2

Verse of the Day: Isaiah 43:2

Isaiah 43:2 / Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
2 I will be with you
when you pass through the waters,
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not overwhelm you.
You will not be scorched
when you walk through the fire,

and the flame will not burn you.

What a sweet reminder.

God will be with us at all times. He is with us at all times. He's there in the good times, the tough times, and the in-between times. He's always, without fail there.

When we do not hear Him, or feel Him, He's still there. It's us who are not listening as we could or should. Why aren't we listening? It's because, we are tempted, we aren't listening, we are too busy, too stressed, we sin, and/or most likely we haven't been in the Word throughout the day and night--today or in quite some time. Those are the reasons why we don't hear God. There may be times one or two of these may come to play in our lives and other times when they all do.

Regardless, remember this. Jesus died for this, too. We are forgiven. We just need to cling to Him, to the Bible, be with Him, and let go of the chaos in our lives. We also need to read this verse. That will sure help.

God is with us now. The Almighty God, the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present God is with us now--whether it's a time of trial or a time of joy. He is with us. Even now. Look around. Listen. He calls. He is waiting.

Verse of the day: Galatians 6:7-8

Verse of the day: Galatians 6:7-8

Today's verse of the day is from http://www.biblegateway.com/ and it's: Galatians 6:7-8.

Galatians 6:7-8 / The Message (MSG)

7-8 Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.

Pray this passage all day and night long to the Lord. Allow each word to sink in. Ask God to reveal what He means for you and your life today. Allow these verses to bring you closer to Him and bring you to the Word of God.

Verse of the Day on BibleGateway.com: Verse to Pray, Ponder, and Memorize

Verse of the Day on BibleGateway.com

Galatians 5:16 / The Message (MSG)

16-18 My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit. Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just as the free spirit is incompatible with selfishness. These two ways of life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at times another way according to how you feel on any given day. Why don’t you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions of a law-dominated existence?
