hear God's voice

 


Are you open enough to see what God is doing or to hear what God is saying?  It is easy, but it also alludes us when we are too busy or focused on the wrong things.


Yesterday was incredible.  I want to thank every one that was so kind and wished me a happy birthday.  Our family devotion last night was especially good.  That is why I simply share part of it with you in today’s edition of the e-devotion.


As you read, I challenge you to hear God’s voice for you.


How's your faith right now?


I would like to encourage you to have an eternal focus so the situation you are facing does not limit your worship. Worship like never before, put music in your car, kitchen, living room or wherever you are day after day. Because when you raise a song to the Lord, your heart focuses on Him; you proclaim His victory and focus on His greatness, His power and majesty. At the end of the day, we are all created to worship Him.


Let us not deny reality, but rather live according to that higher and more powerful reality that is the word of God, aligning our confession with what God speaks.


I love Paul's words to the Corinthians, reminding them that neither sin nor death could overcome Jesus. This is the God we serve! The same God who will sustain you in the midst of trial, the one who will renew your strength and raise your eyes to all that He has prepared for your life.


So, friend, when you find yourself in the midst of the storm, remember that there is more from God, that Jesus conquered and us with Him. 


2 Corinthians 4:18  NLT

'So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.'

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....
