snippets from the past


I want to finish this week with some “snippets” from past e-devotions.  Things that stick out … truth I need to be reminded of … God continuing to guide and love and lift us.


Take some time today and this weekend digest, or at least read again, the things God has shared before.  God is still working because God is good!


John 8:36 NASB

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

 

Freedom can be described in all different kinds of ways.  Often it refers to someone not received what they deserve.  On the other hand freedom can be described as something given by grace and undeserved and not easy to understand.


And another …


SURE THING: God’s love never ends!

 

SURE THING: God’s mercy never ends.

 

SURE THING: God’s faithfulness is incredible.

 

SURE THING: God’s mercy is refreshing and sweet every morning.

 

SURE THING: God is our hope.

 

SURE THING: If we depend on God, He is good to us.

 

SURE THING: Waiting on God brings reward.

 

SURE THING: I am an heir to a great inheritance because of God

 

Claim what is a sure thing directly from our God.


And another … 


John 13:34  NASB

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

 

Choose this week to be the cheerleader, the servant, the helper, the listener, the prayer warrior for one another!


There ya go.


I am encouraged so often by what I see God doing.  To see what He is doing often takes remembering what He did in the past He will do again.


Have a great weekend!


Finally, please pray for the trip to Cuba next week and the retreat I will help to host May 5-7 for the FCA sports ministry staff in Cuba.  Thank you!  God is good!

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....
