7 signs

 


7 signs.  I am not talking about 7 signs of end times.  I am not talked about the 7 signs you saw on the side of the road.  I am also not talking about the 7 signs of getting older (although I might can share a few).  I am not talked about the top 7 signs of having the greatest team of all time.


I am talking about 7 signs God gives us every week that we should be aware of.


Ephesians 5:16  NLT  

Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.


We are given 7 days each week.  I suggest to us that they are signs.  Each day is a gift, and we have a choice in how we use it.  We can waste it.  We can make the most of it like the verse says.


Some people live for the weekend.  You might say your favorite day of the week is Friday or Sunday or whatever, but do we use each and every day to its fullest?


Here are the signs.  God gives us life.  God gives us opportunities.  Use your days in a way that glorifies God.


Rest in a way that gives God glory.  He told us to rest.


Work in a way that gives God glory.  He tells us to work.


Make sure your relationships, conversations, spending, sharing, worshipping and all you do gives God glory.


1 Corinthians 10:31  NLT   

So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 


Here is the your sign.  Use this day, and every day, in the way that makes the most of it.  Why?  Because we are blessed with days, blessed with life, and we don’t know what tomorrow brings. 


Psalm 90:12  NLT  

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

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....
