some favorite verses, day 3

 


This week I am sharing several of my favorite scriptures that have become very important to me.  Many of these have become a “measuring stick” to help guide my decisions and keep me close to God. 


Will we choose to follow what God says and where He leads?  That is a question that each of us has to answer.  


I have shared that Proverbs has been an important part of my walk with God for about 30 years.  That is why today is a little deeper, or shares more verses than others.


Read these and take it all in.  Study and meditate on it.  Ask yourself: what is God is saying to me in these verses? 


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.


Some great verses that many of us know and maybe even quote, but it doesn’t stop there.  


More from Proverbs 3…


1 - My child, never forget the things I have taught you.  Store my commands in your heart.


9 - Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.


18 - Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly.


25-26 - You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, 26 for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.


And there is much more in this chapter and in all the chapters of Proverbs.  But just simply start reading it.  One chapter per day based on what day of the month it is.


May we take positive steps this week based on the verses that have been so strong for me and my faith journey.  Have a great week!

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....
