Below you'll find a list of all posts that have been tagged as “Verse of the Day”
Resurrection and Life. John’s chapter eleven is so rich with insights and wonders, I had no idea what to focus on today’s Daily Word. So, I settled on the most powerful. Jesus making it so clear that of all the prophets of old — even Moses — He was different. Yes, there were other prophets who were anointed by GOD to resurrect the dead (1 Kings 17:17ff; 2 Kings 13:20-21), but those resurrected would eventually die.
Wise and Innocent. Jesus is preparing the twelve apostles to go out — by themselves — and spread the good news that the Kingdom of Heaven has come (vs. 7).
The Father’s Compassion. We continue our theme from yesterday of the Fatherhood of the Creator of the Universe and Jesus’ Abba (Dad).
A Father’s Heart. Isn’t this a hopeful and uplifting verse? There’s more to this verse than we may think.
Our Plans. How often do we seek the LORD’s counsel before we proceed with our plans? I wish I could say, “All the time!” Really, I wish I could say, “Some of the time.” But honestly, it is more like “Oh boy, I wish I did it more often.”
Listening. Apparently, not much has changed since two souls were kicked out of the Garden. We’re still slow to listen, but quick to speak and get angry. Sigh. With more venues to “listen” and “speak” than ever before, there’s been a dark cloud of anger hanging over the world lately. How have we contributed to that cloud?
Treasures of the Heart. Jesus continues His “Sermon on the Mount” with the treasures theme. Earthly or eternal.
Goodness and Mercy. Nothing like the “old” reliable Bible passages that we memorized as children. Psalm 23. John 3:16. You know what? I just noticed something about today’s verse. But first, did you ever see the cartoon of a shepherd leading two sheep whose names were Goodness and Mercy? That noodled in my noggin this morning.
The Potter and the Clay. Today’s verse is tucked into a plea from Isaiah on behalf of his people. Because of the Jewish people’s rebellion against GOD, they would receive punishment — for a season. Still, not the news folks wanted to hear.
