do you hear Him?

Psalm 29:4 NLT
The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.

Do you hear Him?  God is always speaking.  But do we know that?  Have we experienced this?

What might be in the way of us hearing from God?  It could be our sin or our pride.  It might even be the fact that we are not listening.  You could even say that you just plain don't think God is speaking.

Fact: God is always speaking.  Another fact: we humans don't always listen.  Yet when we hear God and respond to God great things will happen.  As I said yesterday, our choices today will impact the results and blessings that tomorrow will bring our way.  Hearing from God may just change everything in our lives.

Another reason we might not be listening or hearing God is fear.  We are afraid that what God would say would be too hard to hear or too hard to do.  He might make us give up something.  When we get on our heart what God has on His heart ... when we want what God wants ... at that point we will see a big move of God in and through our lives.  Do we really want God to move?  

Are we asking Him to speak and then not listening?  Often that is more like this: we pray and then don't even look for an answer.

It is time for us to stop, look and listen to God.  He is speaking?  Do you hear Him?

Deuteronomy 13:4 NLT
Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.

Father, help us to hear voice and respond to what you say.  May we understand that our choices today will change our tomorrows in good ways.  That means, let us be ready to be changed by you and help others change as well.  Thank you for being God and for loving us.  Now we stop or slow down and listen for your voice.  Thank you for speaking.  In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!

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
