Who or what is pursuing you? Is it a past mistake? Is it an old enemy? Is it an addiction in your life that is dragging you down? Is it your conscience? Is it a nagging sense of guilt? Is it someone who wants to do you physical harm? Is it a physical illness? Is it a lingering sense of dread or an uncertainty about your future? We...

 

And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

—Exodus 6:30 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Moses had to learn the same lesson most of us have to learn: folks really don't care that much about what we say. If the truth is known, most of us can't express ourselves all that well. Communication with others is hard. However, when we offer ourselves to the LORD, he truly works through us and uses us in mighty ways. Ol'...

 

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

—John 6:29 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

"What do you do for a living?" It is one of the most commonly asked questions in many cultures. We define each other in large measure by the work we do. God, however, defines us by his gracious love and our belief in Jesus. The work God has for us to accomplish, the way he wants us to "make our living" as Jesus' disciples, is fully...

 

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

—Luke 6:28 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Outside the example of Jesus, this command makes no sense at all. But Jesus shows us the importance of leaving our destiny in the hands of our Creator and Father. Suddenly, this makes perfect sense. What is the best way to defeat an enemy? Certainly, it's not to beat or kill that person. No, the way we defeat our enemies is by having Jesus' grace capture their...

 

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

—Matthew 6:27 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

With our busy world, we often preoccupy ourselves with worrisome and inconsequential things. What does this worry get us? Far from making our lives more productive or adding to our longevity, we know for a fact that worry hastens our demise, robs our days of joy, harms our bodies, and leads us to lose sight of grace. So, if worry is so destructive, why not commit...

 

I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

—Ephesians 6:24 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Ephesians makes some of the most significant declarations in the entire Bible about the grace of God, his promised power to us from the Holy Spirit, and the majesty of God himself. This passage, however, may be the very richest short verse in Ephesians. It is one of my favorite Bible blessings and Paul's closing blessing to people he loves. Paul offers...

 

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

—Matthew 6:25 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

God gives beauty to flowers and life to grass. In the grand scheme of things, these are transitory and insignificant. He sent his Son from Heaven to save us, so he will most definitely give us what we need until we go home to...

 

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

—Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

If we get paid what we deserve as flawed and sinful humans, we're not going to like our wages when we stand before God, trying to plead our case. On the other hand, God, who is rich in mercy and grace, gives us his gift of salvation because of the sacrifice of Jesus and our faith in him. We won't get what we deserve or receive the...

 

... therefore will I play before the LORD.

—2 Samuel 6:21 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

David's wife, ###, ridiculed her husband, the King, for his "undignified" exuberance as he rejoiced and danced before the Ark of the Covenant as it returned. Apparently, David wasn't kingly enough for ###. David refused, however, to be deterred by her criticism. The ark's return was a reason for celebration. His God was the only true and living God. His God had given him victory after...
