goodbye yesterday

 


Don’t you love it when God speaks to you?  Often in Scripture.  Some times in song.  Could be through other people, conversations and situations.  But God gets our attentions and shares something we need to hear.


For me there are many different ways, but the Bible is the one that most often shows off what God is says and how He is leading.  He also uses songs, and there was a song yesterday that caught my attention and hit my heart.


The song this time is Goodbye Yesterday by Elevation.  Here are some of the lyrics:


Goodbye, yesterday

I'm livin' in the light of a new day

I won't waste another minute in my old ways

Praise the Lord, I've been born again

Goodbye, yesterday

I'm livin' in the light of a new day

I won't waste another minute in my old ways

Praise the Lord, I've been born again


Oh, I've been born again


Again and again and again and again

You rescued me out of the mess I was in

You traded my sorrow for something to sing

Now, I'm dancin' on the grave that I once lived in…


The Spirit of the Lord is upon me

I've got resurrection in my veins

Praise the Lord, I've been born Again …

I won’t turn back, the world behind me, the cross before me…

Some of those lyrics are so, so good.  “I’m living in the light of a new day” and “I won’t waste another minute in my old ways” and “You rescued me out of the mess I was in” and “I’m dancing on the grave that I once lived in”.


Every one of those speaks to what God has done in my life.  Go find the song.  Listen and listen.  Let God speak to who you are and what He has done!


Galatians 2:20  NLT  

My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

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....
