Biblegateway.com Daily Verse

Psalm 94:18-19  (NLV)  New Life Version

18 When I said, “My foot is going out from under me,” Your loving-kindness held me up, O Lord. 19 When my worry is great within me, Your comfort brings joy to my soul.

Psalm 94:18-19 (KJV)  King James Version

18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.

19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

 

Psalm 94:18-19(MSG)  The Message Version

16-19 Who stood up for me against the wicked?
    Who took my side against evil workers?
If God hadn’t been there for me, I never would have made it.

The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,” your love, God, took hold and held me fast.
When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

I often wonder if I will do the multiple versions of BibleGateway’s daily verse and each time I go and look at each different but same context.  I realize we all grasp things differently with different visuals, sounds, activities.   So once again today I went with it and although there are many variations of the verse of the day that can be read.   I highly recommend you find what feeds your spirit and understanding and note where you need to dive deeper.   In life in general.

For anyone that does not ready the bible routinely or gets stuck find that good Bible Based church where you can meet with the Elders and Spiritual Leaders and ask and learn.    Others may find great opportunities to learn through programs offered by places like https://www.rightnowmedia.org/ or podcasts with our well known speakers and teachers like In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - Watch TBN - Trinity Broadcasting Network or the many others available.  Ladies there are some great Godly facilitators and teachers with such names like Jennifer Rothschild, Lysa Terkeurst, Christine Caine and so many others.  And yes, like everything else we all have our different styles and taste,  from music to podcasts to webinars, to in person small groups leading or attending.    However, the bottom line is to find who and what truly teaches us about Jesus and his love, mercy, and grace?  Showing us who He is and what we need to grow forward doing in the days we are given for abundant life here and now and on the other side when our souls go back into the spiritual world.     Call me weird or whatever you wish… but bottom line is we all need to find what brings us to life each day we are given.      And many may learn and grow through music be it old hymns or our modern-day hip-hop Christian Michael Jackson giants in the industry or good old southern rocking us to Jesus’s heart beating in ours.    But what really brings us to life and gives the energy to want to love and feeds your spirit with love?

Whatever the case may be.   Don’t get caught up in judging what you see others doing or not doing.  Dive in and grow yourself and truly know the facts not just what you get a glimpse of skimming a page or passing a tv or showing up on any Sunday.       When the day shows up that you cannot even remember how you changed but you know you did, and it is no longer about everything that is in your circle all the while you are not out getting into everyone else’s business or expecting anything in return.    Or the fact that you realize how in love with Jesus and everything he was, is and eternally will be.    You realize you are on the path to God and his abundant promises no matter how high the mountains or how deep the valleys we land in or even leave this earth while still in.  You will know you are homeward bound for eternal peace and loved beyond anything this world and all its flash or devastation marks us with.

 

Anyway, we all believe in something right.   I believe in the power of prayer, the power of the blood poured out and the power of diving in and just keep learning and fighting forward.

 

I would like to say the diving and building that relationship with Jesus and learning who He is would be no different than learning how to become your future goal taking all the classes and lessons in the world.   Although the same context it is so very different.    Learning and wanting to know who God and his son is.   Is a heart and soul matter.    Making a career, learning an instrument, and becoming some talent for the public is a career, performance and although if may feed your soul and your pocketbook.  It won’t get you internal peace or into heaven.

 

Yeah, I know.  What if we do not believe in heaven.  Like I said we all believe in something.  That is your choice.   So, no matter if you are finding your hell on earth or heaven on earth and think that is all there is.   Well, I don’t.    I do not believe we just became human by some spontaneous explosion or out of the evolution of apes.  And even if we did, they are all created by a far greater power than we can see in the here and now.    Nope I am no trained up super smart ready for debate theologian.    I am who I am as you are who you are.    Blessed another day up and at em.   With lots of pages but still more to right each day the good Lord allows me back up.    I believe in the Father; I believe in Jesus Christ, and I believe in the Holy Spirit that carries us through and helps us in those moments.

 

I believe the power of all that is and all that will be and the spiritual battles that surround us with good and evil.   You may or may not but if you are out here skimming, reading, checking for yourself.    You too want something more than just what is thrown at us on any given day.

 

How you go about getting it, or keeping it…

 Well, that is up to you and what you place on moral value and lasting life.

 

Anyway, you never really know until you dive in and learn yourself.   Don’t judge a book by its cover.  Keep digging until you learn the truth and if you learn and grow from it.  Know the blessings you acquired and share them back out.   If you learn hard lessons that that false profit, that impersonator, that super star is really filled with darkness and caused you life scars instead of growth.    Know if you survived and you got back up take that mess and find the positive silver lining message for those who will not have the chance you were given unless you help flicker or shine bright to help them grow through and forward in all that brings hope and brightness.  Even if just planting the seeds along the way…  Do your best human self and wanting all that is good, all that is truth, all that is bold and brightly colored bringing life never taking it.  

For me I will just keep doing the best I can with what I get to work with and knowing where my help comes from.

 

Everything I am, I have or will be depends on the mercy and grace that I will never deserve of God the father.

Genesis 37:3-4  Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented rob for him.  When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.

Ephesians 3:20

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,  according to his power that is at work within us.

Exodus 33:14  The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
