worthy


Take a few minutes to look at a word.  You can choose any word that would like, but I choose the word “worthy”.  That is because of what it means.


Something that has worth is important.  It has value.  It might have worth based on what it is or based upon what others think about it.


Take some time to visit this word with me.


Psalm 18:3  NLT

I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.


First, our God is worthy.  He is more valuable than anything else.


Proverbs 12:4  NLT

A worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.


Second, a great wife, or spouse, is a gift, a valuable gift, to us.


Matthew 10:11  NLT

“Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person and stay in his home until you leave town.


Third, finding someone who serves you or serves with you is of huge value is worthy.


Ephesians 4:1  NLT

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.


Fourth, a life lived well, set a part to serve God, is a worthy and important life.


Revelation 5:12  NLT

And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”


Fifth and last, the one given for us, the lamb of God and the one who covers the gap between man and God is worthy, more than we will ever know.


That word is incredible.  It takes us to a new level, and I am grateful for how our awesome God has taught us about being worthy!  May we learn more, may we see our worth, may we know how God is so much more worthy than anyone has said.


God is worthy of our praise and more.

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....
