<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\nOur family enjoys eggs, and we eat them quite often. Early in the morning…or late at night as a (teen) snack–I am often opening up the egg carton at our house. <\/span><\/p>\n And every single time <\/i>I open that carton…my mood changes for the better, and for God<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n I can be rushing, or mad, or sleepy, or happy…but on the inside of our (store-bought) egg carton there is always a Bible verse that greets me, and without fail, it encourages me. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n This is the day the Lord<\/span> has made; W<\/span>e will rejoice and be glad in it. ~Psalm 118:24<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Question<\/i>: Who would think to put a Bible verse on the inside of an egg carton?<\/span><\/p>\n Answer<\/i>: The egg farmers and followers-of-Christ at GoldHen Eggs<\/i>, that’s who. Their business is eggs, but their God is the Lord, and they proclaim Him boldly for the rest of us to see (and be encouraged by) on their packaging. <\/span><\/p>\n It’s encouraging in our faith<\/i> to know that there are other Believers being bold in theirs. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Be vocal, be visible, and be unapologetic for the Lord today.<\/span><\/p>\n And let’s support Christian businesses!<\/span><\/p>\n ~~~<\/span><\/p>\n Around my town, and probably in yours too, if you need a craft supply or a beautiful home decoration…your first stop is Hobby Lobby. They have everything<\/i> decorative, it seems, and the icing on their delightful-shopping-experience cake is that they are boldly committed to serving the Lord through their company. Their “Our Story” page on their website proclaims: <\/span><\/p>\n Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n Hobby Lobby has many products proclaiming Scripture, and at holidays they (boldly!) take out full-page advertisements in newspapers to share the hope and truth of Christ. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span>Independence Day <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span>Christmas<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Question<\/i>: Who would think<\/span> to connect Bible verses with home furnishings and crafts?<\/span><\/p>\n Answer<\/i>: <\/span>David and Barbara Green, when they stepped out in faith and took out a $600 loan in 1970 to begin making miniature picture frames out of their home. <\/span><\/p>\n And then God grew Hobby Lobby. <\/span><\/p>\n It’s encouraging in our faith<\/i> to know that there are other Believers being bold in theirs. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Be vocal, be visible, and be unapologetic for the Lord today.<\/span><\/p>\n And let’s support Christian businesses!<\/span><\/p>\n ~~~<\/span><\/p>\n Ever had a (delicious and mouth-watering) burger and fries at In-N-Out Burger? If you have never been: find one!<\/i> And while their food and service are outstanding<\/i>, don’t forget to peek at the bottom of your cup and fry basket–to find a Bible verse!<\/span><\/p>\n Soda cups: John 3:16 \u2013 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Milkshake cups: Proverbs 3:5 \u2013 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Burger or cheeseburger: Revelation 3:20 \u2013 “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Double-Double: Nahum 1:7 \u2013 “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Fry tray: Proverbs 24:16 \u2013 “For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Cocoa cups: John 13:34 \u2013 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n Question<\/i>: What does a cheeseburger have to do with sharing the hope and truth of Christ?<\/span><\/p>\n Answer<\/i>: Everything if burgers and fries are the career-path that the Lord has laid before you. <\/span><\/p>\n It’s encouraging in our faith<\/i> to know that there are other Believers being bold in theirs. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Be vocal, be visible, and be unapologetic for the Lord today.<\/span><\/p>\n And let’s support Christian businesses! <\/span><\/p>\n ~~~<\/span><\/p>\n From crafts to cheeseburgers to whatever you and I do today<\/i>…the Lord has made us each special and unique…and with one purpose: to glorify Him and to share His hope. <\/span><\/p>\n We all do<\/i> different work and enjoy different pastimes—<\/span>Be vocal, be visible, and be unapologetic for the Lord today.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Then the Lord<\/span> said to Moses,<\/span> (<\/span>2) <\/span>\u201cSee, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,<\/span> (<\/span>3) <\/span>and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills\u2014<\/span> (<\/span>4) <\/span>to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze,<\/span> (<\/span>5) <\/span>to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n When it was time to build the Lord’s Tabernacle…God already had artisans assigned for that. He has given us gifts too. <\/span><\/p>\n ~~~<\/span><\/p>\n Question<\/i>: What can we do to serve the Lord and proclaim His Name to others today?<\/span><\/p>\n Answer<\/i>: Anything. Fill in your own blank with the gifts that God has given you, and b<\/span>e vocal, be visible, and be unapologetic for the Lord today.<\/span><\/p>\n We can encourage others in their <\/i>faith<\/i> by being bold in ours. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n And let’s support other Believers today! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n …not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another\u2014and all the more as you see the Day approaching. ~Hebrews 10:25<\/b><\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n sarah <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
