trust God


Let’s end the weak on a strong note.  What I mean is there are times we need reminders.  That would be like yesterday’s devotion about seeking God.  Today we take it a step further and talk about what we trust in.


Trusting in ourselves will mess us up.


Trusting in others will often leave us missing things.


Trusting in stuff won’t get us far enough.


So plainly put, trusting anything other than God is just wrong.


What happens when we choose to trust God?  What happens is our faith is strengthened.  What happens in our lives are beginning to take shape.  What happens is our future is set.  What happens is God begins, or more likely, continues to work in ways he alone can.


Proverbs 3:5-6  NASB

Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,And He will make your paths straight.


Trusting God alone gives us guidance that we desperately need.


Trust in ourselves leaves us wanted and leaves us lost.


Jeremiah 17:7  NASB

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose trust is the Lord.


I want to be blessed.  I want to live a blessed life.  I want my children to be blessed and to know blessings.  I want our church and our community and those we encounter find that true blessings come from the Lord and last a very long time.


The one who trusts God is blessed.

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....
