Good Friday morning! We enjoyed a good rain yesterday afternoon, something to get the spring plants going. More rain is due over the next couple of days, which will not make the boating crowd happy. However, as a non-boater myself, it is difficult to be too broken up over some much needed rain. One thing that comes to mind today is the tremendous variety of hobbies and activities that exist in the world today, and that doesn't include the many different activities that we call "work". How do we discern what is truly important from all of the complexity of modern life? Jesus will lead the way for those who believe in Him, For those who do not believe, how will they see Jesus to start with? One way is through the media, but more important is our own example. Do you go home on Friday letting your coworkers know that you just can't wait to see what the pastor has for a message on Sunday? Are your kids excited to see Sunday School arrive?
The ending of the work week is about all that we hope for each week. What a depressing thought that is! For another work week soon arrives and the cycle begins anew. What a wonderful testimony it would be for all of us as Christians to obviously look forward to each work week, each church service, each chance to worship God, and every opportunity to spread the Good News. This is not an easy change in attitude and demeanor. I am with you in just making it to the end of each work week. We should pray for each other in this. For the glory of our Lord, spend time praying that we can improve our attitude about this life. We should all be living in victory, not in a downcast, defeated, and depressed manner that shows the world's victory over us. Jesus is Lord! Let us rejoice in that fact.
May God grant us peace and joy in this life and the next!
