It has been so much fun searching for verses each day. Today I started a list of verses that I want to use because some days I have two or three that show up! I chose this one today because it is a Monday as I write this. A new work week or school week is beginning. This is a good time to be reminded to be a servant. John 13:14 Now if I, the Lord and Rabbi, have washed your feet, you also should wash each other’s feet. (CJB) Washing each other’s feet is something that is not

A friend and I were talking today and I shared with her about the Bread of Life so I decided to do my verse about this… John 6:35 Yeshua answered, “I am the bread which is life! Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever trusts in me will never be thirsty. (CJB) There is a very amazing insight about this verse. I learned about it when we lived in Israel. We all know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. In Hebrew this is knows as Beit Lechem which is House of Bread. Be

My verse today was inspired by a song that a friend sent me. It is about new wine. I looked at all the verses concerning wine/new wine… nothing really caught my eye (although there are MANY great verses for me to share about). Then I looked at verses about pressing and crushing, which brought up the verse about pruning. John 15:2 Every branch which is part of me but fails to bear fruit, he cuts off; and every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes, so that it may bear more fr

Yesterday I spoke about doing good deeds and setting up things in your mind that you WANT to do for God. Today’s verse follows that up a little bit… I John 3:18 Children, let us love not with words and talk, but with actions and in reality! (CJB) So often it is easy to say, “I’m praying for you,” but we don’t stop and actually pray for the person. Sometimes we say, “I love you,” but we don’t stop to hug someone or do something for them. IF we are children of God, than we shou

Friends… I want you to know today that God set YOU apart. Several weeks ago I read from a prayer that Jesus prayed before he died. John 17 is a powerful chapter and I know that if you read the whole thing you will be blessed. Today I chose to look at verse 17: John 17:17 Set them apart for holiness by means of the truth — your word is truth. (CJB) Jesus prayed in the garden that YOU would be set apart as HOLY. Do you believe that? Do you KNOW that YOU are chosen to be HIS? Wh

A little over a week ago I had conversation with a friend and a verse about truth came up in our conversation. I have been pondering on it since. She had some interesting points. I decided to share about this verse today… John 8:32 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (CJB) What one needs to read is the verse before: So Yeshua said to the Judeans who had trusted him, “If you obey what I say, then you are really my talmidim (disciple) (CJB) Personally, I

Another verse about love… God’s love. Some might think, this gets old, but I truly believe that right now we must focus on HIS love. We need to truly understand how much HE loves us. So today the verse is from John 15:9 Just as my Father has loved me, I too have loved you; so stay in my love. (CJB) The Father loved Jesus… What an amazing thing to think about. And then, Jesus says that just as the Father has loved Him, HE LOVES US! Actually He says, “I too have LOVED YOU.” The

I have been led to focus on the LOVE of God. I believe that during this time of year many people are actually lonely. It is a time when so much activity is happening that people get lost in the shuffle. Even though it is supposed to be a time when we focus on community, it doesn’t happen. Events here, and parties there, mean people just move from place to place and do not really stop to communicate. The verse for today is I John 4:16 Also we have come to know and trust the lo

Today is the last day of the Gregorian calendar year 2018. Many are making New Year’s Resolutions. Many are wanting to start the year with new beginnings. Yesterday I shared that Jesus prayed for you. My mind was drawn today to the word love. So many verses about love. However, the one my heart settled on is a verse so common even those who don’t believe in the Bible have heard it. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone w

I took a week off to be with family. We needed some time together. During those days we kept reading our Daily Torah Portion. There is always a portion at some point during the week from the New Testament. This time it was the prayer Jesus prayed in John 17. When most people think of the prayer that Jesus prayed they think of the Lord’s Prayer. This one is totally different. You really need to take time to read it. The verse I chose to read and focus on is John 17:9 “I am pra
