new opportunities

New day and a new week bring new opportunities. Some of them are tiny adjustments that make life better. Some are huge changes that seem to be something that blocks your journey.

But God has a plan, and following what God says will change everything. Have you found this to be true? Read on

Hebrews 10:23-24 NLT

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

Here are some small things that will make the big things seem not so big. You know, the challenges, the struggles, even the danger become manageable as God is in the middle of your life and guiding your way.

Hold tight to hope.

Trust God and believe His promises.

Help others. Encourage them through love and doing good.

That is just a few things that make the hard things not so hard, the difficult things not so difficult, and the confusing things much less confusing. All because you see the new opportunities through what God says.

2 Corinthians 9:13 NLT

As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ.

By helping others, taking the new opportunities, you might very well be generous with what God has said, done and given to you. That could lead you and them to know God even more.

Take that new opportunity today. Hold tight to hope. Trust God and believe His promises. Help others!

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....
