October 1, 2006

Good morning! The first day of the week, Sunday, is here once again. As we worship God the father this day, we prepare to serve him at our respective workplaces throughout the week. The good news is that Jesus has risen, let the day begin! Today also begins October and once again the year is waning once more. Sitting here in the bright sunshine, a cat stealing the slipper off my foot, a feeling of peace comes over. Sunday mornings are good for that and for listening to the Lord’s ministers. There are days when I don’t feel called to bring up some controversial topic, then I remember that anything centered on Jesus will be controversial. It seems somehow ironic that if I bring up the subject of the peace that Jesus gives us, someone will take offence. “Life is a struggle, there is no peace,” they might say. Yes, that is true, in Christ we realize that more than most, however it makes no sense to be upset over it all the time, why not accept the peace of Jesus our Lord? Praise God for peace and the still waters.
