what are your hungry for!


Some things we want are really bad?  Are the things you want the best things?  Are you pursuing God or one of millions of other things?  What we want says a lot about us.

Philippians 4:11  NASB
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

That is the verse the Apostle Paul shared with a group of people that he loved and was struggling.  Literally he said I have learned how to live with much, and he turned the other direction to say that he learned how to live with almost nothing.

Even King David asked God to help him stay close by not giving him too much or too little.  It is easy to be unbalanced and to want things that keep us away from God.  Something we need to learn.

Matthew 5:6  NASB
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

What are you hungry for?  Not always easy to answer.  Yet the more we want God, the more of our lives will be filled with God and what He has for us.  It is also then that we will see God work in more and awesome ways in and through our lives.

Are you we hungry for real righteousness?  That is for the understanding and gratitude that God through Jesus has changed our lives.

2 Corinthians 5:21  NASB
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

God offers Himself to each of us.  May we be found totally hungry for God.  Longing for Him more than we want anything else.  It is free.  He offers Himself.  Yet we think at times that we have to be good or do more.  God says just want me and I will fill you with the best!

Isaiah 55:1  NASB
Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost.

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....
