reminders of God's greatness

Often I need reminders. You know about that. It is the sticky notes I put in a place where I will see it or the alarm on my phone so I don’t forget something important. Also at times I will ask my wife or one of the kids to remind me of something.

We all need reminders even of things that seem a bit off our minds. Today I want to give you some of the verses I shared yesterday at church in our new series called Classics as we are being reminded of how to have firm faith during tough times.

Nothing changes the greatness of God. Nothing diminishes it or voids it. But we need to know, hold it and tell others. Our God is… sing it How Great Thou Art!!!

Psalm 8:3,9 NASB

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have set in place… Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 31:19 NASB

How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have performed for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of mankind!

Exodus 18:11 NASB

Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods; indeed, it was proven when they acted insolently against the people.”

1 Chronicles 29:11 NASB

Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and on the earth; Yours is the dominion, Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.

Psalm 136:4 NASB

To Him who alone does great wonders, For His faithfulness is everlasting;

Ephesians 1:19-21 NASB

and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Take it in. Apply it to your life. Remind others. Remember our God is great!

Psalm 92:5 NASB

How great are Your works, Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.

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....
