Today
is the day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it! Seize the day, for
Jesus prays for you this very moment! Yes, obstacles will arise, but God calls
us to overcome. When prolonged suffering strikes, the Bible’s best advice is to
remember what Jesus has done for you and give praise. We are never alone for
Jesus Christ prays for us this very moment. Therefore, since we are surrounded
by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the
sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is
set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith,
who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne
of God.
Loving and Gracious Father, we thank you for freely choosing to give us life. May Christ’s Holy Spirit enable us to choose to actively praise and celebrate. Amen.
Curtis Paul is pastor at Newlonsburg Presbyterian Church.
