Despite the fact that many calendars printed for use in the workplace now begin the week on Monday, and that in the minds of most people the weekend is Saturday and Sunday, Sunday is the beginning of a new week–the first day of the week, the Lord’s Day. The opportunity to worship God without fear of interruption is a blessing often overlooked.
Today I look upward to God, praising and adoring, remembering with gratitude what he has done for me.
Today I look back on a busy week and see God at work. It hard to believe that until early Tuesday morning I was in Peru. An overnight flight to the US, weather problems, and a circuitous flight path from Houston to Tulsa brought me home by early afternoon on Tuesday, in time to begin the process of catching up and preparing to teach my Wednesday night class at church. The last part of the week flew by–arranging future trips, working on writing projects, responding to ministry and mission opportunities, writing to and encouraging people around the world in their walk with the Lord.
Today I look forward to another full week. Memorial Day will provide a brief respite, but I am thankful that the week is already full of “God stuff” that the Lord graciously puts in my path.
Today I look around at the world in which God has placed me, and I am grateful that his grace empowers his people as they strive to live in his will, and to live out his will to his glory.
