Verse of The Day 2024 (Months 1-3)
Exodus 12:14 "And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever." 3/31/24
Passover, which begins the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, we keep today because GOD says we are to keep it "for ever.", and in Malachi 3:6, HE tells us HE changes not. After all HE is the GREAT I AM, not the great I was. As 1 Corinthians 5:7 tells us, CHRIST became our Passover, as HE was and is our ultimate sacrifice for one and all times, therefore fulfilling all animal sacrifices, which means we are not to go out and sacrifice animals anymore because JESUS fulfilled the blood ordinances on the cross, and to sacrifice an animal today would be an abomination in the eyes of GOD. However, we are to still remember it and we do that today in the way JESUS told us to, which is by taking Communion as we did yesterday evening. As you rest today, never forget everything HE endured and faced in HIS final hours leading up to HIS crucifixion, whereby we could be Saved when we come to repentance in HIM. Live for HIM everyday. 1 Corinthians 11:23-34 says "23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come." See also: "Passover & Communion" if you haven't already, and "The Truth About Easter". Regardless if one believes this is the exact day, what's most important is that we at least remember it and keep it the way HE instructed us to.

1 Corinthians 5:7-8 "7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." 3/30/24

1 John 2:15-17 "15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." 3/29/24
When you finally realize this world can't help you. You will cry out to the only ONE (JESUS CHRIST) who can. Psalm 34:17 says, "The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."

Romans 8:14-18 "14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." 3/26/24
Nothing that's a part of this world lasts forever; whether it be pain, heartache, materialism, etc. As Christians, we are to set our minds on things above (i.e. the things of CHRIST), not on the things of this world (Colossians 3:2). With every new day to come, let this be a reminder not to focus on our life's storms, but on the ONE (CHRIST) who brings us through the storm.

Proverbs 19:5 "A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape." 3/25/24
Don't worry about people who do you wrong. GOD sees it all and everyone will have to face HIM one day and give account for their actions (Romans 14:12). We can still forgive on our part though, even if moving on is involved, but we must never forget to shine the light of CHRIST, and true maturity is able to do so even through the midst of persecution, conflict, and hard feelings from others. A good example of this can be found in Matthew 26:48-54. Love people like JESUS has loved us and kill people with kindness. Eventually their conscience will eat away with them.

The days are drawing nearer and nearer unto the coming wedding ceremony of our beloved HUSBAND (spiritually speaking, compare Matthew 25). No matter what we face, we can always find rest for our souls in HIM. Turn your eyes upon JESUS always. HE loves and saves those who love HIM. See also: John 14:15,

Nothing we do is ever hid from GOD as HE knows our very thoughts and feelings. Proverbs 28:13 says, "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."

1 John 5:19 "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness." 3/16/24
JESUS warned concerning the end that there would be many false prophets (not a few) coming in HIS name, yet they're fakes. When a church (i.e. body of "Christ") changes its values to match the current culture it's no longer following the GOD of the Bible, it's following the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). See also: Romans 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17.

John 15:1-6 "1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." 3/15/24
Remember, watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they make up your character. Watch your character before it becomes your destiny. Good thoughts bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit.

2 Corinthians 4:18 "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 3/13/24
It can be hard to focus on eternity when it seems so far away but none of us know when our last day will be on this earth, and in the mean time, we must continue to do the works of CHRIST and to reflect HIS Light. Though it may seem like repetition amongst Christians, there really is truth in it and the fact that the more we stay in HIS WORD, the easier it is for us to handle day to day circumstances and situations, whereas the less we stay in it, the harder it will be. Keep your eyes on JESUS (YEHOSHUA) always.

Many want JESUS to be their SAVIOR but few want HIM to be their LORD. JESUS said in Luke 6:46, "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

2 Timothy 3:2-5 "2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 3/10/24
In a world that's lost, which is becoming more and more wicked and perverted by the day, keep your focus on CHRIST and carrying out HIS good works. In the end, all those who rejected HIM will look back at just how foolish they were, as they'll be turned into ashes from within before our Holy, Righteous, and Perfect GOD. Just as you've been blessed with another day, strive to be a blessing to HIM as well.

Proverbs 17:15 "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD." 3/9/24
When people condone and love what GOD hates, and hate what GOD loves, they become enemies of HIM (James 4:4). The Gospel is meant to change us to be more like GOD, not for us to change the Gospel, otherwise we become like satan and the wrath of GOD awaits for us. Without repentance, there is no forgiveness (Luke 13:3, Acts 3:19, 2 Peter 3:9, Proverbs 28:13). Regardless of your current situation, no matter how many steps you may have taken away from GOD, it only takes just one to get back to HIM and HE'll welcome you with arms wide open. Proverbs 28:13 says, "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."

Galatians 1:10 "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." 3/2/24
Don't seek to be a people pleaser, seek to be a GOD pleaser and those who are truly of HIM will be pleased at how you live your life, and ultimately those are the people you want in your life. No matter what though, whether people reject you or love you, always reflect the love of CHRIST to all. JESUS said in Luke 6:32-36 "32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful." JESUS also lets us know in John 15:18-23 "18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 also says, "4 Charity (= love) suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." See also: Revelation 3:19-20.

Matthew 6:25-34 "25 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? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." 2/25/24
When we truly put CHRIST first, everything else will fall in to place at just the right timing. Remember, HE is the only way to Heaven (John 14:6).

Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" 2/24/24
Always stay attentive to what GOD's plan is for your life. Sometimes it may be hard to know at times and in certain moments, but the more time we spend in prayer and reading HIS WORD, the more we'll understand what HE is calling us to do. Sadly, most can't find it because they seek the world first, instead of HIM first. HE says in Jeremiah 29:13 "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." That means truly putting HIM first, above all else, and making HIM paramount, working your schedule and life around HIM, not the other way around. GOD's plan for you will always be in alignment with HIS WORD.

Don't stop preaching the Gospel no matter how discouraged you get, or how unfruitful it may seem. People are watching and listening. They may not show it, but you are affecting them in more ways than you know. After all, it our job to warn others (Ezekiel 3:18-20) and whether they listen or not, get mad, laugh, receive it, etc, is up to them.

2 Peter 3:9 says "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2/22/24
Never give up on JESUS as HE never gave up on you, willing to endure everything HE faced, including six agonizing hours of suffering on the cross, whereby you could have an inheritance of life when you die, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, tears, or suffering (Revelation 21:4). JESUS said in Matthew 24:44-51, "44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 and shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Endure until the end. We have the victory only in HIM. See also Matthew 24:29-31, 2 Thessalonians 2.

Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" 2/21/24
Wrong is still wrong even if everybody is doing it. Right is still right even if nobody is doing it. Never let this world and its wicked ways pull you away from the TRUTH of GOD's WORD. After all, GOD's WORD never changes. If you need an example of this, just look at what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah; just as it was then, so has it become that way now. Far too many people today are trying to change the Gospel to suit their sin, instead of allowing the Gospel to change them. As 2 Peter 3:9 says "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Repentance starts with a change of heart, that leads to a change of mind, that leads to a change of action. Is GOD your first love? Is HE above all in your life? If not, HE should be after all HE's done for you. Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Regardless of our current situations, we should always be bold and ready to give an answer to anyone who asks for the reason of hope that is within us (see 1 Peter 3:15). Often times today, people are so worried about what may offend other people when they should be worried about what will offend our HEAVENLY FATHER.

JESUS said in Matthew 22:37-40 "37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Exodus 20:8-11 "8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." 2/17/24
Exodus 33:14 says, "And he (= GOD [YHVH]) said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest." Notice GOD said HIS presence would go with Moses and give him rest. However GOD still required a set aside day. So just as CHRIST/EMMANUEL (= GOD with us) was and is our rest, we're still to set aside the seventh day wholly for HIM (Matthew 5:17-19), and though we are to live for HIM and worship HIM everyday, again, we are still to set aside the seventh day wholly for HIM, without other distractions getting in our way like house chores, and other labors.

JESUS said in Mark 13:13 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." and 2 Timothy 2:12 also says, "if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:" No matter what, as long as we abide in HIM, we will see the victory.

Romans 12:19-21 "19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." 2/11/24
This is in relation to what JESUS said in Matthew 5:43-47, "43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

Love is sacrifice. It's not just a word, but a noun and a verb. It's not about what we can get, but rather what we can give. Just as JESUS loves us enough to sacrifice HIMself for us, so should we love others and return our love unto HIM. Notice JESUS said these two commandments hangs all the law and the prophets; that's because the first four of the ten commandments pertains to loving GOD, whereas the last six pertains to loving our neighbor.Song for today: [may contain a YouTube advertisement]: ↓↓↓↓↓↓

Always be careful who you listen to as many people appear nice, however niceness (friendly and accepting of all) is not one of the fruits of the SPIRIT (Galatians 5:22-23), rather goodness/kindness is. Kindness speaks the truth and shares the truth regardless if it's uncomfortable to some. And even then, satan and his ministers know how to mix truth with lies, which is how he deceives. Always study for yourself and use spiritual discernment (1 John 4:1), staying persistent in prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17). See also: John 8:32 and John 14:6.

1 John 3:1 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." 2/5/24
It's not possible to live to be a people pleaser and live to please GOD at the same time, it's your choice of one or the other. However, those who truly are of GOD will be pleased at how you live your life if you choose to follow CHRIST, and ultimately those are the people you want to hang around anyway. JESUS said in John 15:18, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." It's better to be persecuted and suffer now, and enjoy eternal life later, where there's no more pain, sorrow, tears, or sadness (Revelation 21:4), than it is to enjoy sinful pleasure now, and conformity to this world, and suffer eternal death, where those who don't make it will burn and be blotted out of existence (Psalm 37:20), never remembered again.

It can be hard to focus on eternity when it seems so far away but none of us know when our last day will be on this earth, and in the mean time, we must continue to do the works of CHRIST and to reflect HIS Light. Though it may seem like repetition amongst Christians, there really is truth in it and the fact that the more we stay in HIS WORD, the easier it is for us to handle day to day circumstances and situations, whereas the less we stay in it, the harder it will be. Keep your eyes on JESUS (YEHOSHUA) always.

James 4:8 also reminds us, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." All wisdom comes from GOD (Proverbs 2:6), and so if we want to grow in HIM, we must draw closer to HIM. Put HIM first always.

Romans 8:18 "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." 1/20/24
When life isn't a bed of roses, remember who wore the thorns. Getting through difficult times isn't always easy, but GOD has given us HIS WORD to make sure we understand HIS promises, HIS overall plan, and rewards which await for us, who love and trust in HIM. Think about a job you've worked before. Some days and tasks are easy to deal with and endure, while others seem as if they'll never end. Regardless though of the task, pay day awaits for those who continue working and enduring, and in the end, it's always worth it; so is it with the eternity which awaits for us, as it will certainly be worth it. For we look not at the present, temporary, things which are seen, but on future things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporary, whereas the things which are not seen, which await for us, are eternal (see 2 Corinthians 4:18). Now think about this life we live. Our job is to spread the Gospel, preach the truth, and lead others to CHRIST, as we work for HIM, and in the end, HE and HIS kingdom is our eternal reward, where there will be no more pain, tears, or heartache, etc. (see Revelation 21:4). What a day that will be. For now though, we must keep working until HE calls us home. Regardless though of what we may face in this life, never throw away your eternity for the sake of temporary circumstances.Song for today: [may contain a YouTube advertisement]: ↓↓↓↓↓↓

Luke 12:15-21 "15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." 1/18/24
Many have their minds set upon obtaining the riches of this world (temporary un-fulfillment) instead of setting their minds upon CHRIST (eternal fulfillment), yet none know when they are going to die next. JESUS says in Mark 8:36-38 "36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." Although some people don't like rap, as most songs out there in the music industry are trash, about the sinful pleasures of this world, below is a song with some powerful lyrics that hopefully motivates you to be on fire for CHRIST (LIFE), rather than the things of this world (death).

Nobody wakes up one day and thinks to themselves "I'm going to start speaking on something extremely controversial that goes against the norm, lose most if not all my friends, and be thought of as crazy." No. It's from experiencing multiple events that fundamentally transform one's perceptions, and that's what happens when you receive JESUS CHRIST into your life, and allow HIM to transform you; HIS SPIRIT (the HOLY SPIRIT) is what shows us how to discern, and be able to see the darkness in this world that we once walked in, and it changes us for the better in ways we could never imagine. Though the Christian (CHRIST following) life isn't promised easy, it's promised eternally, where one day there will be no more pain, sorrow, or suffering (Revelation 21:4); to those who truly love HIM. In the mean time, this transformation gives us peace, hope, happiness, and fulfillment, and the strength to endure all things, and that's only due to our solid foundation (CHRIST, see Matthew 7:24-27), whereas those who aren't built on HIM, will never experience such joy, peace, hope, and fulfillment in their lives, as they're constantly unsettled.

The comparison here is that one who truly desires CHRIST and to enter HIS Kingdom (Heaven), they'll do whatever it takes to follow HIM. After all, dying for us is the most HE could do. Living for HIM is the least we can do in return.

JESUS is the answer to all life's problems; to emptiness, to struggles, to hopelessness, fear, etc. HE will get you through whatever you are facing if you only run to HIM and follow HIS ways and guidance of HIS SPIRIT (the HOLY SPIRIT).
