God is my...


More truth than you can shake a stick at … that is one of those sayings that is pretty old and has been said about all kinds of different things.  It has been used about a large quantity of items or to describe something that is more than is expected.

There are truths that run through and over run Scripture about us.  Similar to what we have talked about many times including yesterday.  Scripture gives us great foundation to stand on, gives us what to believe and potential that makes us powerful.  But that power and foundation only comes when we believe God.

Take some time today to read the following verses.  Choose 2 or 3 of them to claim.  Maybe memorize these verses, but at least take the truth in that connects you to God.

Read on and pick out the ones that stand out.

Exodus 15:2  NLT
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!

2 Samuel 22:33  NLT
God is my strong fortress, and he makes my way perfect.

Psalm 7:10  NLT
God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right.

Psalm 18:2  NLT
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

Psalm 54:4  NLT
But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!

Psalm 62:7  NLT
My victory and honor come from God alone. He is myrefuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

Psalm 91:2  NLT
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

Psalm 118:14  NLT
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.

Hebrews 13:6  NLT
So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”

Which 2 or 3 stuck out for you?  Take it the next step.  Memorize them.  Take them with you.  Repeat them often.  God is so much more than we can imagine.

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....

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 ...
