Many things happen when God visits (from soul food)

God does actually visit the world in general and with people in particular.

Luke 1:78 indicates this great truth:Zacharias acknowledged the visit God to his family and the approaching visit of God to the world in the person of his Son Jesus.

David wondered what was so special about mankind that God would so closely watch each of us.

In Psalm 8:4 he asked, “Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"

Psalm 8:4— There is power in the word “visited.” The word translated visited is from the Greek word episkeptomai – which means to go see about, lookout for and relieve. It indicates that when God visits he intends to check on us, see about us, lookout for us and relieve us.

God visited Adam in the garden to check on him. He visited Israel in the Wilderness to lookout for them. He visited Hezekiah in his sick room to relieve him.

Today, we should not be afraid for God to visit us but should invite him. When he comes he brings blessings and encouragement peace and hope.

That’s why some of the old warriors sang, “Spirit come in the building if you don’t stay long.”

When God visits he honors us with his presence.

We don’t want to miss an opportunity to visit with him that’s why we sing “Pass me not oh Gentle savior, hear my humble cry.

While on others thou are calling, do not pass me by.”

how do you follow the example Jesus set of a humble servant?

After my mother died i began to wonder how i would live my life without her. how would i pick up the pieces and keep going? one day i realized my mother had left me the answer to that question. her mother had died the year before i was born. Throughout my lifetime my mother had been a living example of how to live after the loss of someone dear. i remember that she had her moments of sadness and cried nearly every mother's Day. At the same time, she was thankful for the life God had given her and she lived with joy. She cared deeply for other people and served God through various ministries in her local church. From her example, i found strength and assurance to move on
When Jesus and the disciples gathered in the upper room, Jesus knew this would be their last supper together. His time on earth was coming to a close and the disciples would soon entrusted with the responsibility of continuing Jesus' earthly ministry, a ministry of self sacrifice and service. Jesus took the opportunity to give the disciples another example of what this ministry of service really meant.
Because the roads in that region were dry and dusty, and since most travel was done on foot, it was customary to wash the feet of one's guests. Footwashing was servant's task and was often done while the quests reclined at the table before a meal.
When Jesus and his disciples gathered in the upper room, no servants were present. None of the disciples offered to take this role, possibly because of the competition that existed between them "as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest" (Luke 22:24). So Jesus, their "teacher and Lord" (Jhon 13:13) "poured water into a basin" (verse 5) and washed the feet of his disciples. By doing so, he placed himself in the role of servant and set a powerful example for the disciples about the meaning of discipleship.
Footwashing is not part of our daily life, yet there are other tasks that we might think are menial or beneath us. Jesus showed by example that no form of service is beneath a follower of christ. God calls us to reach out in love and serve our neighbors in need... (from Daily bible study)

Accomplishment Often Comes at Great sacrifice (sermonidea.com)

Every step that a believer makes is the result of sacrifice. Today, we enjoy the faith of the ages but this great privilege came because of the sacrifice of others. The cloud of witnesses that gather for each graduate commemorate the moment. That means that they remember. There are many today who have achieved great ends because of the sacrifice of others who were not able to share that moment.

At any graduation there is a mother or uncle or an aunt that watches the graduate march across the stage and they speak silent to themselves “Oh if he could see you now!” or “Oh if she could see you now, she would be so proud.” Each steps forward because of the sacrifice of someone else. It is the father who dreamed of seeing of his children educated. It is the mother whose only desire in life was to see her children stand on their own two feet.

Those who graduate, walk across the stage in hallowed moments of commemoration as family members reflect on the words and deeds of others in the family whose sacrifices made it possible.

One reason many institutions ask for quiet during such ceremonies is to allow the families to observe the procession of history and to hear the voices of a cloud of witnesses that include mothers, fathers, great grandmothers and great uncles and aunts speak from the silent balconies of eternity and say, “well done.”

It is good to have ancestry in the balcony. Sometimes, other than the voice of God, it is the only voice we hear!
