sure thing


I have heard people talk about a sure thing in many different forms.  Some use this term when it comes to gambling.  Others use it in reference to a relationship or the weather.  Seems to me that the biggest and best sure thing is faith built on someone stronger than we are.  That would be God.

As I was reading my Bible one day I came to Lamentations chapter 3.  I had read it before.  But it caught my attention again.  This hits close to home.  It really is a sure thing.  God’s promises are sure, fool proof, strong and so much more.  Take a look:

LAMENTATIONS 3:22-26 NLT
The faithful love of the lord never ends!  His mercies never cease.  Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.  I say to myself, “The lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”  The lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.  So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the lord.

I am not going to go very deep but simply list the sure things from these verses.

SURE THING: God’s love never ends!

SURE THING: God’s mercy never end.

SURE THING: God’s faithfulness is incredible.

SURE THING: God’s mercy is refreshing and sweet every morning.

SURE THING: God is our hope.

SURE THING: If we depend on God, He is good to us.

SURE THING: Waiting on God brings reward.

SURE THING: I am an heir to a great inheritance because of God

Claim what is a sure thing directly from our God.

NOTE: much of this devotion was first shared in the summer of 2014.

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....
