trust: lets get it straight ... [+] Monday E-Devotion

I've been dealing with some people and things that have pushed the limits on NOT trusting God.  That has been much that has been on my mind today (as you see the devotion is late).  How do we help others trust God more?  How do I convince myself to trust God more?  Lets get it straight ...

Psalm 119:11 (nlt) --- I have hidden your word in my heart,that I might not sin against you.

The key is to put God's word and truth in our lives.  That brings us to trust in what we believe.  Do it.  Lets get it straight ...

Hebrews 10:35 (nlt) --- So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!

Nahum 1:7 (nlt) --- The Lord is good,a strong refuge when trouble comes.He is close to those who trust in him.

Isaiah 40:31 (nlt) --- But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.They will soar high on wings like eagles.They will run and not grow weary.They will walk and not faint.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (nlt) --- Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Jeremiah 17:7 (nlt) --- "But blessed are those who trust in the Lordand have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

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....

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 ...
