listen to God


We are still working our way through the book of Nehemiah at The Community Fellowship, and this week we looked at chapters 7, 8 and 9 where we were reminded of the incredible accomplishment of the walls of Jerusalem being completed and how important it is to listen to what God says.


Hear what God says and follow Him.  To make sure this is the path I am on keep yourself focused on God.  The impact of following God changes us and those around us.


Exodus 13:21  NIV  

By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.


God provides for His people.  He guides them no matter the time, no matter the weather and always.  He did it for others, and He will do this for us.  But are we following God?


Learn to listen.  Keep on following.  Walk this truth and know that it is the Word of God, the Bible, that helps us to be aligned with His will and His plan.


Psalm 89:15-16  NIV  

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.  They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness.


It is the Word of God that keeps us following God and know His truth.  Make it part of your daily diet, your daily routine.  It will make a difference.  You might not see it on the first day, but it will soon will be evident.


Soaking in the word of God is like taking vitamins - over the long haul it provides for your well-being - Tony Evans


There is a reason we are still here and still have an opportunity to enjoy life and make a difference.  God’s word will open your mind and heart.  It might even open doors or possibilities for those around you.


Exodus 9:16  NIV  

But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.


Keep on making much of our God as He is greater than I … HE>i

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....
