1 on 1 with God

 


The time we get with the Lord is precious.  You might not feel that way today.  You might not have felt that way in the past.  But what I have come to long for and enjoy is what He shares with me.


It is not because I am special.  But to Him I am.  It is not because I am a pastor.  But I am called.  It is because God desires to meet with each of His children and impart to them the truths and the love that He has.  It really is as simple as setting aside some time just for you and God.  He will speak.


Matthew 6:6,33  NLT  

But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you… Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.


First thing and best thing is that time with Him.  Seek God and His kingdom.


Romans 10:17  NLT  

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.


Being in the Bible, the Word of God, really does matter.


James 1:5  NLT   

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 


I need the wisdom of God.  He gives.  That is my life verse.


And I will close with some verses from Proverbs.  For us to serve God, hear God and come close to God we must respect and honor God.  That is the fear of the Lord.


May our time with God produce for us, in our one on one time, fear of God!


Proverbs 1:2-7  NLT  

Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise. 3 Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair. 4 These proverbs will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young. 5 Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance 6  by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles. 7 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

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....
