a few favorites

 



There are so many favorites.  Some may think of people that they are close to.  You might think of your favorite vacation spots or even your favorite food.  I have some of all of those.


But in this e-devotion I am going to visit just a few of my favorites.  But I won’t be talking about people.  I have a lot of favorites.  Some at some, some friends and even people I have only met or maybe heard of.  There are a lot.


So I have shared some of my favorite Bible verses before.  Each has a different meaning for me or came at a time that was very special for a specific reason.  Here are a couple of those.


Psalm 150:6  NLT  

Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!


That verse became one of my favorites when I was a child.  My dad had heart surgery and for some reason this verse was shared with us, and it caught my attention.


Philippians 4:6-8  NLT  

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.


That is more than one verse, and it is actually some favorites that go many different directions and have different reasons why they are favorites.  Some include Bible promises.  Others include reminders about our God.


Let’s move on.  Some of my favorite current Christian songs are …


The Truth by Megan Woods

Made for More by Josh Baldwin

The Cross by Anne Wilson and Chris Tomlin

Hard Fought Hallelujah by Brandon Lake 


There are more.  I will close with some old favorite hymns that I remember from years ago…


Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

It Is Well

Fairest Lord Jesus

Great Is Thy Faithfulness


That is enough for this email.  Maybe you need to spend some time taking note of your favorites.  Actually I have a few lists in my notes of my favorites throughout the years.

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....
