a few of my why's

 



Here are just a few of the why verses.  I mean these are some of the things that stand out as most important and what make us stronger.  Think through, pray through and push through these and the others that stand out to you.


God First.  That’s why!


Isaiah 55:6  CSB  

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call to him while he is near.


Psalm 46:10  NLT  

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”


God’s Wisdom.  That’s why!


James 1:5  NLT  

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 


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.


Serve Others.  That’s why!


Proverbs 31:8-9  NLT  

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. 9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.


1 Peter 4:10  NLT  

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.


God’s Glory.  That’s why!


Psalm 108:5  NLT  

Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.


Romans 6:10  NLT  

When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God.


God’s Love.  That’s why!


Romans 5:8  NLT  

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. 


Ephesians 1:4  NLT  

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.


That is all for now, and we need to make sure we focus on what matters most.  God first.  God’s wisdom.  Serve others.  God’s glory.  God’s love.  And those are important why’s to live for God!

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 ...

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....
