3 to remember

 


These aren't new.  But these are verses that I don’t need to forget.  That is another reason why I close out the week with a reminder.


Don’t forget these three scriptures.  Good stuff from God.  Relevant for our lives.  Needed so we know truth and follow best practices of what God says.


Here are 3 to not forget:


Colossians 3:13  NLT  

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.


Yes, I shared that yesterday.  That is big truth.  We are forgiven and blessed by this radical truth that doesn’t allow us to roll deeper in guilt and shame.  We help others know His forgiveness, too.


Proverbs 3:5-6  NLT  

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6  Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.


Just truth God.  Trust Him with all you are and have.  Depend on God and watch Him guide your life every day.  He has answers to the questions we are asking.


Philippians 4:6-7  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.


Do you worry?  Honestly, everyone has some worry and anxiety in their lives.  What helps us deal with worry?  Praying eases worry.  God’s peace removes worry.  Being thankful helps us ease our anxiety.


There lots of other verses we could day are important, and these are just 3 of mine.  Take them in.  Let God work.  


Have a great weekend!

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....
