God will blow your socks off

As you read this, I am part of a mission team from The Community Fellowship working with Little River Baptist Chapel in Flatwoods, West Virginia.  Today was an incredible day (I write this as Monday is about to be gone).  We have gotten to interact with some great people as well as partner with another church, First Baptist Liberty, South Carolina, to help this church in rural America.

Some things that stood out in my mind about this day:

+  conversation with a guy at a store about what God is doing in his life
+  hearing about the culture around Flatwoods and about the needs of people who are seeking Jesus (many who need to seek Jesus)
+  story about an older lady who is running from God but today turned toward God and helped her grandkids learn more about Jesus
+  ability our team had to accomplish more than we thought possible
+  listening to our team talk about the Bible, share what God is going in our lives and how we desire others to be touched by God.

I have said it before.  I will say it again.  I am blessed!  You are blessed too.  Even though you may be going through a tough situation, God wants to work in your life.  Let Him.  Listen to God.  There is more waiting for you if you will just hear God, follow Him and see that the people around you have a way to find God too.

My prayer is there will be less of me and more of God coming through my life.  Does that make sense to you?  Pray that prayer if you can.

Proverbs 16:3 (NASB) --- Commit your works to the LORD And your plans will be established.

Isaiah 55:6 (NASB) --- Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.

Matthew 5:16 (NASB) --- Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Tomorrow is going to be another great opportunity for God to work.  Believe that for yourself and watch God work.  He will blow your socks off like he did mine today!

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....
