daily follow God


 

Following Jesus is not a Sunday thing.  Following Jesus is not a some time thing. Following Jesus is not a some day thing.

 

Following Jesus is a daily thing.  Following is important.  He is like air.  We need Him.  And we need Him daily.  That is why I believe and share and live so that myself and others will come in to contact with Him and experience Him.

 

Matthew 6:11  NASB

Give us this day our daily bread.

 

That is part of the “Lord’s Prayer” where Jesus taught those who followed Him that it is daily we need God to fill us, guide us and for us to daily come to Him.

 

Psalm 145:2  NLT

I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever.

 

It was a daily commitment from David to praise the Lord.  He couldn’t let a day go by that he would miss seeking God, praising God and spending time in His presence.

 

Hebrews 3:13  NLT

You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.

 

What happens when we don’t seek God and praise God daily?  Our hearts will drift another direction.  We may become callous toward God and His ways.  That is why we daily seek God and encourage others to go to God daily.

 

It is important if you follow God to follow Him every single day.  Make that your commitment.  Daily.  Seek the Lord.  See how good He is.

 

Psalm 68:19  NASB

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah


Yesterday I had the opportunity to share with our local college baseball team, and I used the following verse.  But I want to remind each of us as well that we can and must seek God each day.


Matthew 6:33  NLT  

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.


Daily follow 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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
