the Lord's day

This is the day that the Lord has made. This is the Lord's day. Today, around the world, millions of people will gather to fellowship and worship. That is an awesome thing. Sometimes we bemoan the fact that many people go to church and then forget God the rest of the week. Well, yes, that is not so good. But, at least they are in church. There are also many other people who forget God during the week and are not in church on Sunday.

If you are one of those folks who feel good on Sunday, but struggle with living out your faith during the week, that is ok. Take heart. This is the Lord's day. You are going to be in the right place today. You are in a place where you are loved, where you matter, where your heart can be touched.

God is good and his mercy reaches out to all. His grace reaches out to you. This is the Lord's day. Let's go see him. Let's go sing the songs. Let's pray together. Let's open our hearts to the words that are shared. See you in church. This is the day that the Lord has made.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
