  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 14 (7/14) is 2 Chronicles 7:14

    “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and 
    seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,
    and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14
    A RECIPE for REVIVAL

    While 2 Chronicles 7:14 is very much a verse that speaks to the nation of Israel it offers a recipe for personal revival.  As we are prone to wander from the God we love, we also have an invitation to return to Him where He receives us and restores us.  

    For this return to happen there will need to be several changes beginning with one humbling themselves.  This mindset moves one from arrogance and pride, a spirit of I am right, and I know it all, to now acknowledging that God is right.  The ultimate acknowledgment is that YOU ARE NOT GOD, HE IS GOD, and GOD ALONE.  For one to return to God and His paths of righteousness one will need to repent.  Repenting means one is acknowledging they are WRONG.  To admit one is wrong calls for one to humble themselves.  

    From humbling oneself one now prays.  Why is this significant?  It means one is moving from independence of God to dependence on God.  

    Now the returner seeks God’s face.  To seek His face means one wants to know God.  To seek and see His face brings about WORSHIP!  The returner now offers praise to God.  

    Seeking the face of God also brings about a fresh awareness of our sinfulness that sparks a desire to turn from our wicked ways.  Seeking and seeing His face brings about a fresh view of God’s holiness and in seeing God’s holiness one is going to want to renounce wickedness.  As the prophet Isaiah sees God and hears the worship of HOLY HOLY HOLY he not only confessed his sin but within the confession was a desire to be cleansed.  

    2 Chronicles 7:14 is laying out for us the ability to experience personal revival.  The believer now walks humbly with God, depending on the Lord, seeking His face, and departing from sin. in doing this one becomes a useful vessel that is desiring to be used by God.  

    Are you in need of a personal revival?   Are you away from God?   Are you filled with arrogance and pride where you hold a view that you know better than God?  Are you seeking your own agenda?  Are you practicing wickedness?   Put into action 2 Chronicles 7:14 and God will forgive you and restore you!

    Verse to DATE the Word on July 14 (7/14) is 2 Chronicles 7:14. It says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

    Personal note: As I grew up our church would have “revival” services each summer. I knew that there would be two songs sung each night. Revive Us Again before the preaching and Have Thine Own Way after the preaching. Maybe I simplify it too much but a take on 2 Chronicles 7:14 is LORD, HAVE THINE OWN WAY with me.
     

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 13 (7/13) is 2 Corinthians 7:13

    “By all this we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were
    especially delighted to see how happy Titus was, because his spirit has been 
    refreshed by all of you.” (NIV) – 2 Corinthians 7:13
    REFRESHED

    The discouraged Apostle Paul of 2 Corinthians 7:5-6 tells how he is now encouraged, encouraged by a report from Titus that the Corinthians have received his letter and that while it was a difficult letter for him to write and for them to read, it brought about great results.  This news was encouraging!  As well Paul tells the Corinthians how encouraged, ESPECIALLY DELIGHTED, (OVER-JOYED), he was because of how happy (ENCOURAGED) Titus was. Paul commends them for refreshing his spirit. 

    REFRESHED.  It is a word we often think of in the hot summer.  Working on a farm as a teenager I can recall numerous times looking forward to a very refreshing drink of water from a well on our property.  The water drawn from that deep well was so cold.  I would get a drink from the bucket and then dump the bucket over my head.  Oh, it felt so GOOD.  It was REFRESHING!

    REFRESHED.  From the dictionary it means to give new strength or energy to one; to reinvigorate.  The Greek word speaks of “giving one rest.”  It is the word Jesus used in Matthew 11:28 as He invited people to come to Him as they would find REST.  It is the word Jesus used to tell His disciples to come apart and REST in Mark 6:31.  After serving and ministering to numerous people He knew they needed time to REST, to be REFRESHED.  The Apostle Paul will use the word to describe what he felt when he was with Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus.  He said they refreshed his spirit.  See 1 Cor. 16:17-18

    As you DATE 2 Corinthians 7:13 ask yourself if you are being described by others as a refreshing drink of cold water on a hot summer day.  Does your presence refresh others?  Do your words refresh others?  Do your actions refresh others?   

    It is worth saying here as well that you make sure you are being REFRESHED.

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 12 (7/12) is Matthew 7:12

    “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them,
    for this is the Law and the Prophets.”  – Matthew 7:12
    The Golden Rule 

    Matthew 7:12 is commonly called the Golden Rule. You will find it stated as well in Luke 6:31. Luke 6:31 says, “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.”

    The Golden Rule makes one think about their actions toward another.  As one thinks about how they would like to be treated Jesus says to put those attitudes and actions into practice.  As well one might think about how they would NOT like to be treated and thus one should not do those things to others.  

    How do you want to be treated?  Surely you want to be respected.  Surely you want others to view you with dignity.  Surely you want to receive forgiveness when you make mistakes.  Surely you want to be treated with kindness and compassion.  Surely you want others to be nice to you.

    So, we ask HOW well are you treating OTHERS?  Do others find they are being respected by you or disrespected by you?  That you are polite or rude to them?  Do they experience a deep concern for them or a lack of concern?  Do they find you are quick to forgive or that you are unforgiving
    Instead of finding you nice, they find you mean and cruel?  Are you treating people the way YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE TREATED?

    One can only imagine how different things would be if we truly practiced the Golden Rule.  Maybe it is time to revive the golden rule and treat people BETTER.  Yes, BETTER than we would want to be treated.

    In providing some help for implementing the above challenge notice from just seven verses how one can find numerous ways we are to TREAT others that will be treating them BETTER.  

    1. Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.”
    2. 1 Peter 3:8 “Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic with one another; love as brothers, be compassionate, be courteous;”
    3. Philippians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”
    4. 2 Corinthians 13:11 “Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, (restore one another) encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace (with one another); and the God of love and peace will be with you.
    5. Romans 12:10 “Love one another with brotherly affection. Honor one another above yourselves.”
    6. Colossians 3:12 “Since God chose you to be the holy people He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”
    7. Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 11 (7/11) is Matthew 7:11

    “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”  – Matthew 7:11
    God is ABLE and GOD is WILLING to Answer Our Prayers

    As Jesus teaches about prayer, He conveys a WILLINGNESS on the Father’s part to GIVE GOOD THINGS to those who ask.  As we consider ASKING our Father in heaven for the various things we NEED, and let’s be honest, asking for things we WANT, there can be and most likely is a hesitation on our part to ASK.   I suspect you have and may even now be experiencing this hesitation.  

    What brings about this hesitation to ask?  I think there are two reasons. 
    First, this hesitation comes many times because of a lack of faith that GOD is ABLE to handle what we are facing.  While we have read verses about nothing being impossible for God and read stories of God doing the impossible we look at our situation and think we finally have something GOD is UNABLE to handle.  We hesitate to ask because we don’t believe God is ABLE. We need to overcome this lack of faith by growing our faith and knowing that GOD IS ABLE. 

    Secondly, this hesitation to ask comes because there is a lack of knowledge regarding WHO God is and HIS WILLINGNESS to give us the things we ask of Him.   Maybe we have had earthly experiences where our requests were ignored or rejected.  We start telling ourselves there is no need to ask anymore because they don’t care or they just always say no.  Sometimes our earthly experience with maybe a father or someone in authority will start defining our relationship with our Heavenly Father.  We start thinking God is not interested in us.  

    It is this mindset that Jesus wants to debunk.  In the previous verses, He has told us to ASK.  He said ASK, SEEK, and KNOCK.  As we ask, we will receive.  As we seek, we will find. As we knock, it will be open to us.  These are His instructions to us as God’s children.  We are to ASK.

    Knowing this is almost too good to believe Jesus gives an illustration of how an earthly father who is evil gives good gifts to his children, giving them bread rather than rocks and giving them fish rather than a serpent when they ask for something to eat.  He then gives us our verse to DATE saying, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

    Please pay close attention to three words.  HOW MUCH MORE!  In comparison to an earthly father who gives good gifts, Jesus says HOW MUCH MORE will our heavenly Father give GOOD gifts?  God is not just ABLE He is WILLING to give to His children GOOD THINGS when they ask!

    Now one more thing.  Don’t miss that He is willing to give GOOD things.  Not everything you ask for is GOOD FOR YOU!  No is a legitimate answer to prayer!  

    God is so good that He will not give us what is not good for us!

    Verse to DATE the Word on July 11 (7/11) is Matthew 7:11. It says, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” 

    Now ASK your Heavenly Father for the GOOD THINGS YOU NEED!

    Continue Strong,
    And remember to DATE the Word

    Prayer TIP: You may want to write the words GOD IS WILLING on an index card with Matthew 7:11!  Let it remind you that GOD IS WILLING so you then will ASK.

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 10 (7/10) is Ezra 7:10

    “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the LORD, and to do it,
    and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.”   – Ezra 7:10
    NLT: “Ezra had determined to study and obey the Law of the LORD and to teach those decrees and regulations to the people of Israel.”  

    An Example of Actions to Take with the Word of God

    Ezra was a tremendous spiritual leader and a very skilled teacher as a scribe in Israel.  From Ezra 7:10 we see three actions that Ezra took with the Word of God.  These three actions serve as an example to each of us for what we should be doing with the Word of God.  

    What actions did Ezra take with God’s Word?   

    First, he studied it.  

    Second, he submitted to it. 

    Third, he shared it.  

    While the outline may seem simple his actions are very significant.  Before Ezra was a teacher he was a learner. He studied to know what the Word said.  Then he did not just tell others to how live, he lived it first.  He practiced what he preached. And he did not keep to himself what he learned but shared it with others. 

    What about you?  What are your actions with the Word of God?

    Are you taking time to STUDY God’s Word?  Are you a lifelong student of the Word?  Is there a hunger to know what God’s Word is conveying?

    Are you SUBMITTING to the teachings of God’s Word?   Are you a doer or just a hearer of God’s Word?

    Are you SHARING what you are learning with others?  You might recall from 2 Timothy 2:2 that it teaches to be a learner and then a teacher.  It says, “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”  

    Verse to DATE the Word on July 10 (7/10) is Ezra 7:10 “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.”

    As you pick up God’s Word let the example of Ezra equip you with three actions to take.  Study it.  Submit to it.  Share it with others.

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 9 (7/9) is 2 Kings 7:9

    “Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now, therefore, come, let us go and tell the king’s household.” – 2 Kings 7:9
    Let’s GO and TELL the Good NEWS

    Before us is a great verse to remind us to be SOUL WINNERS!  Someone said that “soul winning is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find food!”  The context of 2 Kings 7:9 is about four lepers, who like everyone else around them at that time were living in a terrible drought and experiencing the horrible pains of famine.  Deciding they had nothing to lose by surrendering to the enemy they walk into the enemy’s camp only to find it to be empty except for LOTS OF FOOD. One might imagine the joy of their hungry stomachs being filled.  However, their joy subsides for a moment as at least one of the lepers begins to think about others who are starving.  Pausing from eating to speak comes the words of our verse to ponder: “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now, therefore, come, let us go and tell the king’s household.”  And the rest of the story is these beggars who had found food were now sharing the news with other starving beggars about where to find food.

    Let’s get personal.   How do you apply this verse to your life?  

    Is there an urgency to share the good news that changed your life with others? 

    As you enjoy the rich blessings of salvation do you think about others who are not saved?

    Would you agree that when you have what other people need and you don’t share it you are doing WRONG?

    Having received the greatest blessing of salvation WHO do you need to GO and TELL so they might know the Savior and the blessings of salvation?

    Bonus: Just a few verses for soul-winning.
    Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
    Daniel 12:3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
    Romans 10:14  How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without a preacher?
    2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

    Verse to DATE the Word on July 9 (7/9) is 2 Kings 7:9. It says, “Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now, therefore, come, let us go and tell the king’s household.”

    Let us resolve to be soul winners.  Remember soul winning is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find food!  GO and TELL someone where to find the BREAD of LIFE!

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 8 (7/8) is Deuteronomy 7:8

    “but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your
    fathers, that the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you
    from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” – Deuteronomy 7:8
    Our GOD so LOVES US

    Why did God do all that He did for Israel when they were slaves in Egypt?  That is the question being answered in Deuteronomy 7:8. And the answer is: BECAUSE THE LORD LOVES THEM!   Because the Lord LOVED Israel He worked on their behalf and He redeemed them.  Yes, He had made promises to their fathers and was keeping those promises, but the motivation of motivations was His LOVE for them.  

    Maybe today you need to be reminded that GOD LOVES YOU.  Let these verses just wash over afresh and anew.  Let them fill and flood your soul.
    John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
    Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
    John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
    John 15:9  “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.”
    John 15:12  “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
    Ephesians 2:4  “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5  even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6  and raised [us] up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,”
    1 John 4:19 “We love Him because He first loved us.”
    Revelation 1:5 “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 7 (7/7) is Micah 7:7

    “Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of
    my salvation; My God will hear me.” – Micah 7:7
    A Bold Declaration

    Life is not looking very good for Micah as wickedness is rampant.  As he considers all who have turned away from following the Lord, he makes a bold declaration in Micah 7:7 with two “I will” statements.  These two “I will” statements will set Micah apart and when we make these two “I will” statements we will be very different from those around us. 

    The first “I will” is a decision to WHOM he will look to and for Micah, there is only one to look to and that is the LORD!  Maybe he recalls the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 121:1-2 which declares “I will lift up my eyes to the hills — From whence comes my help? 2  My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.”

    Who do you look to when life is a mess?  Someone wrote:
    If you want to be dismayed – look ahead
    If you want to be defeated by life – look back
    If you want to be distressed  – look within 
    If you want to be distracted – look around
    If you want to be discouraged – look to others
    If you want to be delivered – LOOK UP!

    Micah is choosing to LOOK UP!  He is looking to the one who is able to handle anything.  His resume has on it that He CREATED the heavens and the earth.  This is WHO Micah is looking to for help.

    The second “I will” is to WAIT.  Oh, what a horrible, horrible four-letter word.  I hate to WAIT.  I have a feeling many of you reading this can say the same thing.  While we may be able to quote Isaiah 40:31 with its great promise to those who wait we (at least me) still do not like to WAIT,  BTW – in case you need to be reminded Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

    Micah understands that his dire situation demanded looking to God and then waiting on God to work.  He knows that God WILL hear him.  He knows God will work. 

    I am not sure what TROUBLE you are facing today.  Micah 7:7 is a great verse to grab hold of and activate.  LOOK UP to GOD who LISTENS!  WAIT on God who WORKS!

    Verse to DATE the Word on July 7 (7/7) is Micah 7:7 It says, “Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.”

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 6 (7/6) is 2 Corinthians 7:6

    “But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, 
    encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.” – 2 Corinthians 7:6
    THE NEED FOR AND THE POWER OF ENCOURAGEMENT!

    To get the fullest impact of this verse we need context. We need to understand WHO was discouraged, (other words could be used like downcast, deflated, feeling defeated) and needed encouragement.  That person is none other than the Apostle Paul. Yes, the great apostle Paul was discouraged and was greatly in need of encouragement.  Pay attention to his description of himself in 2 Corinthians 7:5, as he writes, “For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears.”

    Did you read what the Apostle Paul said about his life?  
    He has NO rest!  Physically, he was exhausted.
    Troubled or afflicted!  Emotionally, he was exhausted.
    Struggling with conflicts! Mentally, he was exhausted.
    Battling personal fear!  Spiritually, he was exhausted. 
    (I just described many of you as you seek to lead or work in Christian organizations and do ministry, didn’t I?) 

    The work of the ministry is work, hard work!  The work of the ministry has opposition. It is difficult and at times downright DISCOURAGING.   

    Now with that background notice 2 Corinthians 7:6. Faced with discouragement and being down in the dumps, the apostle Paul starts this verse with GOD saying. “But GOD.”  With those two words, the Apostle Paul is acknowledging that God was watching over him and God was working for him. It was God who sent TITUS to a discouraged Paul and Titus comes to ENCOURAGE. He comes to speak in to Paul the courage to keep on going, to never quit.

    Titus brought a good word in a difficult time that kept the Apostle Paul going.

    Do you need a TITUS? (I will answer for you.) Yes, you do!  I pray you do have one.  If you don’t have one then you should pray that God will send you one.  We are all in need of a Titus touch!   

    Do you need TO BE a TITUS? (I will answer for you.) YES, you do!  I pray you will be one and you will be the answer to someone’s prayer.

    Make July 6 (7/6) a special day of encouragement!  Be a TITUS to someone.  Give them the Titus Touch!

    Verse to DATE the Word on July 6 (7/6) is 2 Corinthians 7:6. It says, “But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.”

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 5 (7/5) is Genesis 7:5

    “And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.” – Genesis 7:5
    Our verse to DATE the Word on July 5 (7/5) is Genesis 7:5. Genesis 7:5 says, “And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.”

    A FAITH that WENT TO WORK

    It has been said there are three types of people.  Some people wonder what happened.  Some people watch others make things happen and then there are those people who work and make things happen.   Which one are you?   Noah worked and made things happen! 

    Without a doubt, Noah is one of the great people of FAITH.  God gave Noah instructions to build an ark (massive boat/ship) as it was going to start raining and the earth was going to be flooded. Noah, having never seen an ark, much less build one, or rain or a flood moved forward by faith and obeyed God, doing exactly what God said.  The Hall of Faith writer included Noah in his list because of this action. Take a quick look at Hebrews 11:7. Hebrews 11:7 says, “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

    While there was vile wickedness all around the world God saw Noah.  Upon assigning Noah with the building of an ark God saw working by faith!  God saw Noah obeying all that He commanded him to do!  He saw Noah making things happen!  While it took time to complete Noah never stopped.  By faith, he and his family were saved as the rain came and flooded the earth.

    Today you may be working on something BY FAITH and so far, you are not seeing anything come of the work.  Keep on WORKING BY FAITH! Keep obeying God by FAITH. Remember that you will reap in due season!  Keep sowing the seeds of the gospel!!  Keep planting God’s Word in people’s hearts!  Keep on WORKING BY FAITH!!

    Verse to DATE the Word on July 5 (7/5) is Genesis 7:5. It says, “And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.”
