God is big

 


Here is an e-devotion I shared many years ago.  As I was looking back it caught my attention, and I pray it will catch yours.

 

Inspiration at the speed of words.  Conviction from the heart of God.  Individuals desiring to follow Jesus.  You.  Me.  Read on:

 

Acts 15:26  NLT

"...risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." 

 

Philippians 2:30  NLT

"For he risked his life for the work of Christ..." 

 

Luke 18:27  NLT

"What is impossible for people is possible with God." 

 

Acts 16:34  NLT

"...he and his entire household rejoiced because they all believed in God."

 

Jeremiah 46:17  NLT

"...a loud mouth who missed his opportunity!"

 

1 Timothy 1:6  NLT

"But some people have missed this whole point..."

 

2 Corinthians 4:11  NLT

"Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus..." 

 

Luke 8:15  NLT

"...good-hearted people who hear God's word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest." 

 

2 Thessalonians 1:12  NLT

"Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live..." 

 

Here is the POINT: don't let the bigness of God pass you by.  God wants to show the people around you (and you) just who He is.  Try it.

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....
