wisdom from God

My life verse is this:
 
James 1:5 (nlt) --- If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
 
God continues to throw huge blessings and thoughts my way.  What I am really praying for is that my time with God will be sweeter and sweeter as I focus more on Him.  And that is being answered as I focus on Him.
 
I needed to hear about wisdom this morning.  That is where my daily reading in Proverbs hit home.  Walk some of that path with me from Proverbs 2 (nasb):
 
2 Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; 

3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding; 

4 If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures; 

5 Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God. 

6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. 

7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity...

10 For wisdom will enter your heart And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 

11 Discretion will guard you, Understanding will watch over you, 

20 So you will walk in the way of good men And keep to the paths of the righteous. 
 
That is so good.  I needed that.  How about 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 ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
