don't miss the small miracles


Psalm 69:32  NLT
The humble will see their God at work and be glad.  Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.

I love stories.  But the best stories are the true ones that speak of life and real situations.  That’s why people love reality TV.  Can’t get enough of it. 

Yet what I am talking about is people sharing what God is doing in their lives.  We hear about people accepting Jesus and their lives being changes.  We hear about healing as people battle health issues and become well.  We hear about God opening doors for work or help and a number of other things.  God is still in the miracle business. 

Some of those miracles are big, and some are small.  Let me ask you a simple question: do we miss the small miracles that God does?  It is the answers to answer that are off our mental radar.  This could be the answer of help with a test at the doctor’s office or the test at school.  It could be the prayer for your child to not be sick again or to be able to get through a meeting or have wisdom.

I believe it is the small miracles that we miss through each day that string together to make our faith grow strong.  We look for miracles all the time.  The healing from cancer or the rainbow after the flood are awesome miracles.  The small miracles that only you will see or know are just as important as the big ones.

In fact God says that if we are faithful in the small things that He will help us with the big things.  Our prayer lives and the miracles that follow remind us that God loves us and wants to work in every area of our lives.  God loves us and has a plan for each of us.

Watch for what God is doing.  Don’t miss the small miracles.  God is working to save those who are lost.  God is still working in the things that matter to me and to you.  Keep on praying.  Keep on looking.  Again, don’t miss the small miracles.  God is at work!

Romans 1:16   NLT
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ.  It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.

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
