Summer Fun with Beautiful Feet!

“As Scripture says, ‘Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.’ For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’” Romans 10:11-15

God is good, all the time! Just two verses are already good enough for Him to sketch His gospel to us! The messenger is sent to preach to the seeker. The seeker hears and believes and calls on the name of the Lord!

Is it simple? YES! Is it easy? NO. Thank You God, You only hold us accountable to do our best in Your strength and in Your will, then leave the results for You! Also, thank You God, You pave the way for us to reach all - Jew and Gentile! In particular, here in Buffalo. You have already sent the whole world to us!

In the world, we “look before we leap.” But in God’s Kingdom, thank You God again, our help comes from You, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). Therefore we “Pray before we Act”! Pray for Divine Appointments, pray for sensitivity because wherever we are at and whoever we encounter regularly or spontaneously - all could be the designated appointments from our Lord!

Today I just received a cute and colorful marketing email: “Get ready to run, walk, bike, eat and more this Summer!” Yes, let us get ready for our Lord! Let us lift all summer, fall and daily routine (work, school, grocery shopping, dog walking, etc.) to our Lord God as a gospel-sharing conduit. Then draw God’s strength and wisdom to do all these with specific intent, while having joy and fun!

People may need to spend tons of money in a gym or spa to make their feet beautiful. But we just need to seek God first and share His Gospel then our feet will become beautiful for “free”! We are so blessed! Thank You, God!

Prayer Focus: Dear Heavenly Father, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few (John 10:2). Help us commit to be Your disciple, be Christ-like and well equipped to share the Gospel through words and deeds, all for Your Glory! Thank You, Dear Father, Son and Holy Spirit! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“An angel of the Lord said to Philip, ‘Go south to the road, the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ So he started out...” Acts 8:26 Philip is an example of how God calls us to step out in obedience even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. The angel of the Lord gave clear directions for Philip to go from Jerusalem to Gaza. He was asked to travel in the heat of the day through the desert, not the normal paved route to Gaza. Philip did not question God or try to figure out why God was asking him to go. He didn’t pause to wonder how he was going to deal with the physically draining aspects of the journey or who was going to fund his trip. He simply started on his way. As he went along, the Holy Spirit directed him to an Ethiopian eunuch. Philip struck up casual conversations which led to sharing the good news about Jesus. Many people have told me they desire to go on a mission trip but are not sure if they should go. They want to have all the answers ahead of time....

The Way We Pray

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 What brings answered prayer in a Christian’s life? Do you ever feel that you pray and God is silent or that you grow weary in your prayer life because it seems that God isn’t answering your heart’s desires? Could it be that many times it is because of the way we are praying? This passage of Scripture goes on to say, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Taking God’s yoke on ourselves is a picture of an animal having a harness around its neck and can’t move to the right or left but only where the farmer is leading. It may seem restrictive to see God in that same way, but He wants us to follow Him looking straight ahead and keeping our eyes focused on Him and His purposes. It keeps us from getting sidetracked in our Christian walk. Then, our praying becomes asking Him for things He is desiring for us and those aro...

Finding God in Adversity

“After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island.” Acts 27:21-26 Our journey of faith does not happen without challenges. In fact, our greatest growth and greatest opportunities of giving a witness to the power of the Lord happen in the face of adversity. Paul had warned them not to sail, but the owners and captain of the ship craved their profits. And they w...
