moments of awe

 


Luke 9:43  NLT  

Awe gripped the people as they saw this majestic display of God’s power.

 

Have you ever been stopped by something somewhere and ended up in AWE?  It is one of those moments you didn’t expect, left you inspire, and left you with peace.

 

I have been there.  Most likely we all have.  It might be the landscape or sky you notice.  It could have been a story someone shared.  Maybe it was a Scripture you read many times before, but this time was different.  It was something you didn’t expect.

 

Psalm 65:8  NLT  

Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy.

 

Watch because God is working.  We will be in awe and long for times of awe.  Unexpected moments of joy.  Moments that seemed to stand still.

 

Exodus 14:31 NLT  

When the people of Israel saw the mighty power that the Lord had unleashed against the Egyptians, they were filled with awe before him. They put their faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

 

An artist worked to create what his heart saw.  A writer pens what seems to roll through their brain.  A speaker shares a message, a story that grabs you.

 

God is an artist.  He captures events, landscapes, moments in time to give us glimpses of His glory.  Those are the moments that leave us in awe of our awesome God.  


Habakkuk 3:2  NLT 

I have heard all about you, Lord. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.

 

Watch for them.  Put down your phone.  Stop the car.  Take a breathe.  Take it in.  Thank God and see how He continues to create moments of awe for you.

 

Psalm 33:8  NLT  

Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him.

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....
