I am amazed


I close out the week with a shorter than normal devotion built around a simply phrase.  It’s amazing.  I am referring to the things that I have seen God.


I remember a young man accepting Jesus at church.  We have been praying for him for a while.  Sometime he sent me a text message that his children’s mother is close to accepting Jesus as well.  This really is amazing.


I remember a mission team that that came to serve at our new campus.  I had walked through the building many times, but when I realized the work that God helped us complete the word “WOW” came out of my mouth.  It really is amazing.  God is making our dreams come true and positioning us to be able to bless more and more people.


1 Chronicles 16:24  NLT

Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.


Psalm 111:2  NLT

How amazing are the deeds of the Lord! All who delight in him should ponder them.


Habakkuk 3:2  NLT

I have heard all about you, Lord. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.


God is doing so much.  It is incredible to see the lives He is changing.  It is one at a time as we see it, but it really is all over the world that God is at work.  As followers of God we are to acknowledge what God has done and tell others about it.


I am amazed at the way He loves me and others.


I am amazed at the miracles He does. 


I am amazed at how God gets the attention of people.


I am amazed at His grace and how He extends it so much.


May God use us to help others know His amazing love and all that the truth God reveals.  By walking closer to our God we will be amazed even more.  What God is doing around us to telling others the same.  It’s amazing!


Acts 4:13  NLT

The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.


NOTE: much of this devotion was first shared in May of 2014

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look
