listen to God


 

Psalm 66:16 NLT

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me.

 

Jeremiah 33:3 NASB

Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'

 

It is time to listen but sometimes it is hard to hear.  Remember that verse we have all heard about "being still" and hearing from God.  Sometimes being still is the only way we can hear.

 

There are some other ways to from God as well.  My prayer is that I will hear some things from God specifically.  Direction.  Leadership.  Courage.  Ideas.  Compassion and strength.  The list goes on.

 

You can pray this prayer or a similar one too, but then we must start listening.  God is always speaking.  Fear God.  Respect God more than ever, and His voice will get clearer and stronger.  Ask Him and listen for the things that you don't know.

 

Set our pride aside.  Set our agenda aside.  Let God speak.  There is only one way that I can put that one, and I am desperate to hear from God.  I hope you are too.

 

Let's listen, learn and move with what God says.  I'm ready.  Listen up.

 

John 3:30 NLT

He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.

 

John 3:30 NASB

He must increase, but I must decrease.


NOTE: this devotion was first shared in October of 2011

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....
