remember the presence of God


 

God is everywhere and at all times.  That is really hard to understand.  It is even hard for us to remember.  That is a problem of our faith when we don’t recognize and enjoy the presence of God.  


The enemy tells us we are alone.  Even deeper in trouble when we live without help and hopeless, yet that could not be further from the truth that God gives us.

 

The people of God were set to inherit the Promised Land, but they struggled to understand the presence of God.  They needed to know that God was with them.  Often they acted like God was no where around.

 

The presence of God saves us from heartache and gives us direction for every day and every situation.  To believe what God says, to practice His presence daily, helps our days turn out much different.  Realize God is with us today just like He was in the past.  

 

John 14:16-28  NASB

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17 that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

 

We have the Spirit of God.  We have the presence of God.  God is with us.  We are not alone.  We are not orphans.  That is a promise from God. 

 

Enjoy and remember the presence of God because we need this truth.  Remember His presence. Claim His presence.  Enjoy His presence. 

 

Exodus 33:14 NASB

And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”

 

Psalm 16:11 NASB

You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy;In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

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....

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 ...
