who God is


Psalm 28:6-9  NLT
Praise the Lord!  For he has heard my cry for mercy.  The Lord is my strength and shield.  I trust him with all my heart.  He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.  I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.  The Lord gives his people strength.  He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.  Save your people!  Bless Israel, your special possession.  Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever.

After having a personal experience with God we are able to share with others who need to have similar experiences.  Right?

By sharing we open the door for God to work similar ways in the lives of the people around us.  This could be those closest to us, like family or co-workers.  Could be that some random person hears your story and opens up to getting to know God.

Use your story and your experience to help others, but don’t stop there.  I believe you have been where I have.  We have experienced God, yet later on, short time or maybe a long time, we start to question what we learned or that God will do it again.  By remembering and sharing our experience with God we remind ourselves of the greatness of God.

Look at the verses above again.  Who is this God of ours?

He hears our prayers and answers them!

He is strong, trustworthy, helpful and fills us with joy!

He strengthens us and offers safety!

He knows my place and my challenges.  

Our God leads like a shepherd.

Pray.  Experience.  Share God with others and remind yourself often who He is, what He can do and let Him fill you with that same joy!

NOTE: this devotion was first shared in January of 2018

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....
