# 6 on the Top 10 List of Scripture // Friday E-Devotion

# 6 on the Top 10 List of scripture

Jeremiah 29:11 (nlt)
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord . "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Lets go on a trip. In just a few weeks, my family and some friends will enjoy some peaceful time on the beach. The wind blowing off the ocean...the gentle noise of the waves coming in...plenty of sun...and more.

Just thinking about that trip gets us excited and keeps us pressing on toward it. This is an annual thing we love. Memories for the family and time together are important.

This verse is a memory like that one. Yet, this one comes straight from God. He set it in motion. He carries is out. I am not in control and really have little to do with it. All I am in for is believing God. It's that simple.

The trip we are on together is a journey of faith, if we let it be. Some people have chosen a crash pace and road of stress, pain, heartache and worries. That is not God's intention for His kids, for us. His best for us is just as this Top 10 verse says.

His way is for great days and great plans. We have hope that will tear a part fear and worries. Do we believe what God says?

Take that journey. Believe God. Some pretty cool things will come of it. Why? Because God has plans for you!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
