all glory to God



As I closed out the day yesterday there were many things going through my mind.  The day began with a group of men that have my heart and who have my back.  The day continued with serving along side a group of people who never tire of giving second chances.  The evening was spent in a not so comfortable place but with my sweet wife and then dinner as a family.  I love those times.  But the day ended listening to and being part of another team that is making a difference and seeking God for even more.

What do all of those have in common?  They are all in.  We must be all in with our God.  Here are just a few verses to drive home this point (at least in my head and heart):

Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort.

You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you!

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.

Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth.

Will my day and my life give all the praise and all the glory to God?  Far to often the answer is no because people want the glory for themselves.  It is time for God to take first place and for us to step back.

All glory to our great and gracious God!

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....
