Bible Verse of the Day: Scripture quotes to inspire your faith in God today.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on March 13. We’ve been working our way through the 23rd psalm one of the most famous passages in all of our scripture and we continue today with a verse five you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows, one of the most overlooked lines in this poem is the anointing line we’re sheep in the metaphor God is our shepherd, and there is a particular oil that would be put on the sheepshead and a certain time of year when a type of fly would be around bother the sheep and cause all sorts of problems, raise their anxiety and just be a pest and so the shepherd or the ninth or head, which would keep the flies at bay now the sheep receiving the oil they don’t know why they’re receiving that, but they do Have peace. We can take comfort that our God knows what we need, even when we’re unaware that sometimes we receive blessing, and we don’t understand what it is, but we are to trust in our shepherd, that even in the midst of people who might mean to work against us, God prepares a table that we might be in union our cup overflows with our Lord, our good shepherd.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on this March 10 and we are continuing in our walk through Psalm 23 and so we continue today with verse four. even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil for you, or with me your Rod and your staff. They comfort me a voice switches and verse, for God is no longer refer to in third person but in second, because the Psalmist is going through a dark time or has gone through a dark time like many of us have a maybe you’re going through one right now in those rules regulations those parts of the Lord that keep us in line and our heart—our conscience that pulls at us—that rod and that staff in times of darkness comforts us, because we know we have the presence of God with us. We are not promise to be delivered from trials and tribulation. That is not what the scripture says, but it does say nothing can separate us from God’s love, so no matter where you are, and what you are enduring today may you know that the Lord is with you and your heart and you should fear no evil

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford and we are continuing our focus on the 23rd Psalm. We been working on this the last couple of days and we will keep going as we turn to verse three the Lord restores my soul, my shepherd lead me and write pads for the Lords names, the Lord is our shepherd keeps us alive. It’s another way to say that is the word for soul is also the word for life. your restore this doesn’t mean that things are always going our way I’ll be we don’t feel like we’re going out of the loan or we feel like the world collapsing around us, because Lord knows that our culture likes to soak up and spread fear but we can trust no matter what difficult circumstances we are facing that we are being led on the right path through it, it doesn’t mean will be lead around it. It means that the Lord will lead us on the right path through it like a good shepherd leading sheep. Sometimes the terrain is rough and scary, but we can trust that we are being led on the right, because we belong to the Lord. The Lord is our shepherd, and it is the Lord who restores our lives.

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want we often think that we aren’t gonna want our shepherd but that’s not what this is saying it’s saying that the Lord is my shepherd. Therefore I will want for nothing. I’ll have everything which doesn’t always feel right does it because there are lots of things that we want that we don’t have it so we think with that that doesn’t make any sense well, I think if we know that we trust in the Lord, the Lord is the one that guides us with provides for us Need to go like a good shepherd, and all the things we should want will be provided that doesn’t mean there’s not a catastrophe and chaos and loss and pain and hurt, but it means that even in the midst of all that might come our way all the calamity Lord of The with us, and the Lord will make sure we have what it is that we need to endure to survive to thrive to live

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Rev. Joseph Sanford coming to you with our scripture with our word may the spirit work through the word in your heart as you think about these things, Romans chapter 10 verse nine because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart, that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Powerful words from Paul, speaking to what it is, that drives the inner core of our being, if we’re able to speak out loud with firmness with truth, that Jesus is Lord and we believe it through and through that he has been raised this changes, our whole life and leads us in a direction that is in pursuit of Christ and following him and you will be saved this word saved. You can also say healed to the same word and scripture we like to use the word saved, but it’s also good to think about what it means to be healed because we’ve all been hurt valve and broken. We’ve all been on the wrong path. We have got the baggage from things that we’ve done in our life that I’ve been done and us, but through Christ through our beliefs through our pursuit, we will be saved, and we will be healed.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you wherever you are driving working walking listening. May the word find you may have finds you well as we turn to the gospel we call Matthew chapter 11, verse 29. Take my yoke upon you and learn for me from gentle and humble and heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light Lots of unpack, and one minute here yo cause a word from a rabbi about their focus. Their interpretation of what the faith is about what the Scriptures are speaking to so every rabbi had a different yoke, Jesus is easy or sometimes you hear it kind that refers to what we will put on ask what they would wear like a yoke and some of them are fitted they’re supposed to be fitted to the ox so it doesn’t hurt them as they pull it’s like putting on someone else’s shoes. It’s painful, but Jesus has a yoke that’s made for each of us. Jesus yoke is not a burden Jesus, bring some thing that blesses us is made for us, and draws us into the one life, the one way, the one truth and him.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on this beautiful day. The Lord has given us and that finds you well and healthy and blessed we’re gonna turn to the gospel of John chapter 16, verse 33. I have said this to you, so that in me, you may have peace in the world, you face persecution, but take courage I have conquered the world. This word from Jesus given to the disciples before they’re about to see the whole world flipped upside down through his arrest through his rejection through his murder, but then he’s gonna be flipped upside down again because he has the resurrection and the life and we think about these things, as we are maybe ministering in our own way or vocation and maybe that’s at a church maybe it’s at a job maybe that’s in our family maybe that’s on our circle of friends. We are in our world facing the things that life throws at us and while they may not be Roman crosses, they have their pain we face these things head on because we follow Jesus Christ and we can remember his words. Don’t worry about what the world can do to you take courage, for I have conquered the world.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on this Monday bringing you the word and may the word finds you well may find you inspired as we turned the gospel. We called John chapter 11, verse 25. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life, those who believe in me, even though they die will live. This is the pinnacle of our faith. Not just that he said it, but that he did it that he is the resurrection and the life Jesus Christ is the one who we play star faith and we set our sights on the one and we follow the one whom we in some strange way become one with with each other, and with him and through him with God, no matter what we’re facing today and some of you are facing some really difficult stuff. It may not illuminate the pain to hang onto this verse, but it does give us hope that death pain, suffering, disease, struggle they do not have the last word the last word has been spoken the very word in flesh Jesus Christ, our savior, the son of God, the resurrection and the life.
