our God is great


Psalms 76:13-15  NLT
O God, your ways are holy.  Is there any god as mighty as you?  You are the God of great wonders!  You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.  By your strong arm, you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.

Have you taken some time lately to examine what God has done?  It might be time well spent.  Investigate the world around you.  Listen to the stories others tell.  Stop and listen often to the stillness and the amazing beauty around us.

There are lots of negatives around us.  Remember the challenges and obstacles we have talked about a few weeks ago?  Focusing on those things, the troubles of life and all that gets us down will keep us from seeing the goodness and the bigness of God.

The verses above point to God in His ability and His identity.  It comes from someone who had experience with God.  They had a testimony personally. 

You redeemed your people.  This person saw it happened and even heard the stories of God’s redemption.  We will see it again and again. 

You are the God of great wonders.  This person saw it with their own eyes and heard others share the same.  We will see and share the wonders of God as we come across what He does and often what only God can do.

Is there any god as mighty as you?  This person understood that our God is the only one, the only God.  There is no one else who gives us peace and strength.  He is personal and personally cares for us.

Experience Him today and tomorrow.  He is holy.  And He is always amazing me and will you too.

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....
