reality of our God


Soak it in as much as you can.  God is speaking, guiding us and filling our lives with what lasts.


That is why I challenge you to take another look at Scripture.  Some of the things that we learn will change our lives.  These are not things that make up a check list.  These are realities of a person that lives by faith, connected to God and looking for where God is working.


Before us is a passage of Scripture that grabs my heart.  It has depths of truth that I need on a daily basis.  It sounds awesome.  Get past the sound.  It is good, and this is from the God who loves us.


Read.  Take it all in.


Psalm 34:1-10  NLT

I will praise the Lord at all times.  I will constantly speak his praises. 2 I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. 3 Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together. 4 I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.  He freed me from all my fears. 5  Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. 6  In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. 7  For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. 8  Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! 9  Fear the Lord, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. 10  Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.


Choosing to praise the Lord is a choice I will keep on making.  He is my choice because He loves me no matter what.  He is my hope when I am helpless.


Pray and be set free from fears.  Choose joy and seek God on and on.  He guards and guides our lives.


Taste and see that He is good.  He is our refuge, strength and our provider.


That is not a list.  That is my reality and the reality of all who choose God!

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....
