are we watching?

 


Are your watching?  I mean really watching.  Like your eyes are open and looking for what is next and what God is doing.  I didn’t ask you are “woke” or alive.  God is working.  Let’s be watching.

 

Romans 8:28  NLT  

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

 

God has a plan for your life and mine, for my family and yours, for the church and churches around the world.  And that plan includes our good and His glory.

 

But are we watching?  God can open our eyes, and He will.  If we let that happen, we will be amazed at what we see. 

 

Psalm 119:18  NLT

Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.

 

Pray that God will open your eyes to know Him, to see His goodness and to understand His word and wisdom.  And even so we can share with others.

 

Luke 24:31  NLT

Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!

 

When their eyes were opened, they knew this was Jesus.  Then Jesus left.  What is that deal?  They kept on watching

 

He was teaching them and teaching us to always be watching for what God is doing and choose to join in His work.  That is why I challenge us, like Paul did, with this prayer…

 

Ephesians 1:18  NLT  

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

 

My prayer for you and me is this one.  God open our eyes.  May we see you, know you and be ready to share with others as we follow you.

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....
