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 ...

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....
