DAILY DEVOTIONAL    📖 

A Devo on Sunday?!

Every once in a while, winter storms or bad road conditions force us to cancel Sunday services. We love to fulfill God's command to assemble, but sometimes it may be dangerous for people to get to the building, or we may endanger others attempting to get to the building. 

 

But that doesn't mean it isn't Sunday, the day set aside by our Lord. You can still observe the holiness of the Lord's day.  Sunday is for worship, so begin the day with a prayer of worship and thanksgiving.  And remember:

 

Sunday is for prayer. Sure, you pray every day, but if you use the time you normally spend in assembly to go deep into communication with God, you'll reap the blessings of that time well. 

 

Sunday is for learning. If you already read a chapter of the Bible every day, this Sunday can be the day you do two chapters, or even more. Don't be in a hurry, though. Take the time to ponder what's important about the piece you are reading, because if it wasn't important, it wouldn't be there. I read scripture every day, but sometimes I find myself just skipping over the words.  That’s not spiritually healthy!  Look up words that aren't clear or have a deeper meaning.  The internet is full of sin, but there is also a plethora of good out there!  Find a word in your studies  (like plethora!) you need to better understand, and go down that rabbit hole! Seek out commentary from theologians about that topic. It can also help to read the scriptures “out loud”.  That way you’ll not only think them, you’ll hear them.  

 

Sunday is for service. Call or email someone just to brighten their day. Call your neighbors to see if they're okay. Communicate with your family and tell them you love them. 

 

Nothing compares with the assembling of Christians on a Sunday, but good can still occur.

I hope we are together on Wednesday! ~jme
