2-22-22


 

It is Tuesday, and it is 2-22-2022.  That is a lot of 2’s.  Pretty cool.  I don’t believe we will see another date like this for many years.  


Is there a spiritual significance?  I am pretty sure there is, but that is not what I am here to share with you today.  I simply want to point out some significant uses of the number 2 in the Bible.


Genesis 1:16  NLT

God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars.


Matthew 6:24  NLT  

No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.


Matthew 22:37-40  NLT  

Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”


Ephesians 5:31  NLT  

As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.


Proverbs 27:17  NLT  

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.


Hebrews 6:18  NLT

So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.


Hebrews 4:12  NLT

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.


Matthew 18:20  NLT

For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.


Genesis 7:15  NLT

Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.


That is enough for now.  Maybe one of those verses, or two, will stick out for you today, and God will use them for His good in your life.


Have a great two-sday!

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....
