seek the Lord



Isaiah 55:6  NASB

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.


This is a simple concept.  But don’t miss this.


In everything we do God has a place and a plan and even a reason for our lives.  If we fail to seek the Lord, we will miss what is the best.


As it relates to the back2school outreach we have sought the Lord and continue to do so.  Seeking God ties many things to our lives.


First, we will know Him, hear His voice and get our marching orders.


Second, we will have the resources we need.  This can be as simple as the items to share with students or a complex as the relationships that help us do more and take the message further and in more locations.


Third, we will have a heart like Jesus.  He saw people and understood their need.    He looked at the heart and not the outer appearance of a person.  We should do the same, but without God, we may miss that ability.


There are more reasons, but these three sum up what I need daily.  They make my work stronger, and they will allow us to have a greater impact.


May God work in us today and may we seek the Lord.


Tony Evans said in a sermon that “our proximity to God determines how we hear His voice.”  Get close to God.  Stay close to God.  Follow His lead.


Seek 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....
