Scripture: Galatians 6:10
So then, let’s work for the good of all whenever we have an opportunity, and especially for those in the household of faith.
Thought for the Day: Two nights ago, we went to bed a bit later than usual because we needed to pick-up Zach from the church. He and the other youth had just returned quite late from their Mission Trip, and as we finally got ready for bed, Donna turned on the TV. We have free movie channels for a couple of months right now, and a movie started that we both had been wanting to see. It was late. I was exhausted. I should have just recorded it and gone to bed, but I did not. We watched the entire thing, and it was well past 2:00am when we turned off the TV. The movie was a true story about a troubling time in history, and the acting was really quite good. As we finally closed our eyes, I lay there for a few moments and thought to myself: Why is it that we will lose sleep over a movie that depicts troubling and unjust happenings in history, but we rarely will lose sleep when troubling and unjust happenings are occurring in our current reality? It was easy to be appalled and shocked at how one group of human beings treated others years ago, but at the end of day it demanded nothing of me… except a few hours of needed sleep. I wonder what opportunities might have disclosed themselves had I experienced a night of good sleep – using those few hours a bit more wisely. What opportunities would have called to me if only my senses had been better rested? Just a question I must ask myself…
Prayer: Call us together, O Spirit of the Living God, so that we may do the good work set before us. Amen.
See You In Worship
