Daily Word. Week 7

Matthew 6:1 (NIV)
"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.” Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
– Mark 9:22-24

 

[VapinBill]

James 4:6 (NIV)
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
– Psalm 27:1, 3

John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Sounds like you had to make a choice to either be a part of this site or move on. If the vulgarity bugged you, then IMO, you did the right thing. That doesn't mean you can't pray for them. They banned you from the site just because you didn't want to be a part of it. Non-Christians think it's just all fun, roses, 'lala land,' etc. It's more difficult to walk the straight and narrow than to just believe nothing matters and there's no consequence. We still have our sin nature. We are tempted constantly. Snares are everywhere. I've been in many of them. For I sin and fall short of the Glory of God. There is none righteous, no not one. But when we are saved, God looks at us through the Blood of Jesus. Amein! You made the right choice. Don't allow satan to make you think you goofed up. You didn't. I'll stand with you, Bill.....we all will. There just went Glory bumps all over. You are not alone, here. Ask God where He wants you to be. Until then, ya got us!

 

[VapinBill]

Revelation 19:11 (NIV)
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
– 2 Corinthians 5:20-21

 

[VapinBill]

Luke 6:27 (NIV)
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you."

You shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.
– Exodus 23:25

 

[VapinBill]

John 15:12 (NIV)
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
– Matthew 5:14-16

– Matthew 5:14-16

I have read Matthew 5:14-16 many times, but didn't get a complete understanding until today. Whoa.

We are the lamp.....a new lamp is empty. It has to be filled to work. Almighty God the Father, is the oil, for without the oil, nothing would work. The wick is Jesus. The wick is in the oil. "The Father and I are One." The Holy Spirit gives us the faith to light the lamp and believe it will catch on fire to show that Jesus (the wick) is the Light of the world. Since we are the lamp, we have to be filled. It was there all the time and I didn't even get the full meaning. Thank You, Lord.

 

[mightymen]

OK Bill, I'm waiting on my daily Word, where is it.

 

[VapinBill]

James 1:19-20 (NIV)
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to the LORD your God’s voice.
– Deuteronomy 28:2

 

[VapinBill]

Praise God for protecting us against things seen and unseen.
At a complete stop in a traffic jam we got rear ended by a semi truck today. I got rushed to the hospital only minor whiplash. The wife and kids walked away without a scratch. Car was totaled. God is good. This is more proof of His Grace !!!

Don't worry about posting Scriptures tomorrow or for the next few days if you're feeling bad. I'm sure MM would be happy, or I would, to post them for you until you are okay! Your orders are to rest and take care of your precious family!

 

[VapinBill]

Acts 10:38 (NIV)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.
– John 14:21

 

[VapinBill]

I agree Bill.

You have picture's of the car?

No one took pictures of the car. The ladies were pretty shaken up and they had me strapped on the gurney
