Daily Nugget

                                                                   A Chicken or An Eagle?   Chickens “Picks”, and Eagles “Soars”. But those who “Hope” in the Lord will renew their strength.   They will “Soar” on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.   (Isaiah 40:31) We can “Pick” At Issues, or we can “Soar” Over Issues. To Soar over an issue is to “Trust God to Handle the Issue”; “It’s Hope”.   To Pick at an issue is to Trust self to handle the issue; “It’s Doubt”.   God has told us that “On Our Own We Can Do No Good Thing”; therefore, God has made Hope available to us. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know how to “Effectively Deal With Issues in Life”.   We can “soar over the issues”, like eagles soar, or we can “pick at issues” like the chicke...

                                                                               Image. We are “Made in The ‘Image’ of God”. And God said, let “us” make man in “our” own Image, after “our” likeness:…   (Genesis 1:26) So God created man in His Own “Image”, in the “Image” of God created He him, male and female created He them.   (Genesis 1:27) Is Your Living in the “Image” of God or Satan? The “Us” in our Daily Nugget   includes Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and maybe some more of the Heavenly Host. Image -   A “representation” or likeness, particularly when describing humanity’s creation in God’s Image.   It signifies a “Resemblance To God”, not a physical one, but one that “encompasses our capacity for reason, morality, and spiritual connection”. Our “Choice” to Live “Like”...

                                                                Living Inside the Kingdom. All things are possible in The Kingdom. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”.   (Matthew 19:26) I can do “all things” through Christ which strengtheneth me.   (Philippians 4:13) Believers, “Live” Inside the Kingdom of God While Still on Earth. Our Daily Nugget is saying to us that the very moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we   instantly become Citizens of the Kingdom of God, even though we are still living on earth and as such, we can now do “All Things” through Jesus the Christ, for “He Strengthens Us”.   As Kingdom Citizens, God is always “With Us”. On our own we can do no good thing; in Christ, we can do “All Things”. Jesus has really “hooked ...

  Pray & Wait. Pray and Wait “With Expectancy”! In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and “wait expectantly”.    (Psalms 5:3)     Expect what you want to happen,   “Never Expect What You’d Don’t Want To Happen”. Our Daily Nugget is giving us wisdom in two main areas; to go to God “in the morning” with our request, our prayers, and “to wait with expectancy” concerning God answering our prayers.   The Bible instructs us to “consider it done” after we pray. The Bible says that if we give the first slice from a loaf of bread to God, that the whole loaf belongs to him.   So it is with “morning prayers”.   By going to God in the morning with our prayers and request, we make our day belong to Him.   God takes care of and provides for what’s His. To Give the First of What we have been given by God is to Give God “Honor”! Honor - Reverence, respect, high esteem, particular in the context of relat...

                                                                      Prepare For Battle! We Prepare By “Pleasing the Lord”. Prepare for Battle or Fight Defenseless! When a “man’s ways” “Please the Lord”, He maketh even his enemies to be at “Peace” with him.   (Proverbs 16:7) There is “A Way” that “Seems Right”, “But It’s Not”. Our Daily Nugget is one of Solomon’s Scriptures on Wisdom; he is letting us know that when we “Please The Lord”, “Things Will Go Well” for us; even to the point that God Makes Our Enemies to Be At “Peace” with us.   A man in war, “Loves Peace”. What are the Ways of Man that Please God? The Ways of Man that Pleases God is found in the Bible, not religion nor tradition. Some ways of man pleases God and some ways of man displeases God.   Doing for others, being generous, helpful,...

                                                                               It’s Yours. Why Didn’t You Ask For It? “Ask” and “It” will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.   For “everyone” who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.   (Matthew 7:7-8) God, Jesus, “Cannot Lie”; If we Ask, We Will Receive! Our Daily Nugget is a Promise From God.   It is “impossible” for God and Jesus to “not fulfill a promise” nor to “lie”.   We make our Daily Nugget “Real For Us” through “Belief”.   Belief is what we bring to the table; we must Believe and Doubt Not.   It is the heart/mind of every Father to give to their children the “Desires of their Heart/Mind”.   We get t...

                                                                               Happiness.   A “By Product” of Love. Blessed (Happy) are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you “because of me”.  Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.  (Matthew 5:11-12) The Prophets Were Persecuted and Rejoiced in Happiness. Our Daily Nugget is letting us know the “Fruit of Christian Persecution”, for doing what is good and right in God’s Sight.  If we Live like Jesus, we will be persecuted like Jesus.  Jesus went through the pain of persecution to a “Blessed and Happy State”.  Therefore, we can “Count It All Joy”.  Much Happiness is at ...
