Rejoice In Sunday

Oh Heavenly and Gracious Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thank You for this beautiful and glorious Sunday morning You have created for me today. For this day, I praise and honor Your name. This is the day that you have made, I will rejoice and be glad for all that You have in store for me. With every breath I take, I am reminded of the countless blessings You have showered upon me. The very gift of life, the love of family and friends, and the hope that each new day brings, all bear testament to Your unceasing goodness.

On this Sunday, a day set aside to honor and glorify Your name, I take a moment to express my profound gratitude. For the trials that have molded me, for the joys that have uplifted me, and for the quiet moments of reflection that have drawn me closer to You, I offer my heartfelt thanks.

As the world awakens to the possibilities of this blessed day, may my heart overflow with gratitude, recognizing every moment as a gift from You.

Untying Knots

Most of us had a hard time learning to tie our shoes. Tightening shoes by wrapping strings together? Nothing easy about that. Who came up with the idea of shoes anyway?

My friend Roy used to sit on a park bench watching kids gather and play at the bus stop. One day a little fellow struggled to board the bus, frantically trying to disentangle a knotted shoestring. He grew more anxious by the moment. All of a sudden it was too late. The bus door closed. With tear-filled eyes he looked at Roy on the bench and asked, “Do you untie knots?”

We never outgrow the urge to look up and say, “Help!” And when we do, who shows up? Jesus, our next-door Savior. Go ahead, ask him: “Do you untie knots?” “Yes,” he will say.

As We Behold Him

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “We all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness…” As we behold him, we become like him.

It’s a principle I experienced first-hand when an opera singer visited our church. He sat right behind me. He tried to contain himself, but how can a tuba hide in a room of piccolos? I was startled. Inspired. Emboldened by his volume. I lifted mine. Did I sing better? No. But did I try harder? No doubt. His power brought the best of me.

Could your world use a little music? If so, invite heaven’s baritone—Jesus Christ—to cut loose. Who knows? A few songs with him might change the way you sing!
