listen up

 


It is vital that we listen to what God says.  Hear what God says and follow Him.  To make sure this is the path you are on, keep focused on God.  The impact of following God changes us and those around us.  That is why is it is important to listen up.

 

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.  That includes you and me.  He guides us no matter the time, no matter the weather and always leads in the right direction.  He did it for others, and He will do this for us.  But are we listening and following God?

 

Learn to listen up.  Keep following.  Walk this truth out by knowing the Word of God 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 and knowing God’s will and truth.  Make it part of your daily diet, your daily routine.  It will make a difference to listen up.  You might not see it on the first day, but it will soon become evident.

 

Soak 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 opens our minds and hearts.  It might even close the wrong doors and open the right doors of possibilities that are endless.

 

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 you listen up.  This week we are looking at our 5 senses and how they impact our daily walk with God.  Look around you and listen up!  More to come…

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
