we need His wisdom


James 1:5  NASB
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

That is the verse that I put on the bottom of letters I write and of items that I sign.  I wouldn’t say it is my life verse, but it is one that rings in my heart because I need the wisdom of God each and every day.

Think about the things that help your heart beat on a daily basis.  I am talking about things such as the love of family, the passion of your life or the things you are willing to stand on or die for.  For all of us those are different things.  That is why this world and God’s call on our lives is so important.

We are to work like a finely tuned engine with all it’s parts doing what they were made to do.  Each of us has a place to serve, a place to work and meaning to live out.

1 Peter 4:10  NLT
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

You are a child of God, if you are saved, and you have gifts to serve others.  It is time to have the wisdom of God and use it.

Take some time today and seek God’s wisdom.  Use what God says about you and to you!

Proverbs 2:2 NLT
Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.

Proverbs 2:6 NLT
For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 3:14 NLT
For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.

Proverbs 15:33 NLT
Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom; humility precedes honor.

I need that wisdom and so do you!

James 3:17  NLT
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.

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 ...
