the presence of God

There is the problem that hits our faith when we don’t understand the presence of God. The enemy tells us we are alone, and we are way off of our journey with God, without help and helpless. Yet that could not be further from the truth that God gives us.

There is a reason for everything. The reason for the wilderness was the Promised Land. The people of God were set to inherit the greatest piece of land on the earth. They needed to know that God was with them and for them. Often they acted like God was no where around.

The presence of God is the most powerful truth a believe can hold. His presence will save us from heartache. To believe what God says and to practice His presence will help our lives turn out much different.

God is with us today like He was in the past. The Holy Spirit has arrived and is involved in our lives. We have the Spirit of God, the presence of God. We are not alone, not orphans, and that is a promise.

Remember the presence of God because we need this truth every day. It is promise and priority for our faith.

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.”

Remember His presence. Claim His presence. Enjoy His presence.

Psalm 16:11 NASB

You will make known to me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

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....
