I saw this question yesterday and thought it would be a good one to pass along.
What are you doing today that will outlive you?
That’s a pretty good motivator – assuming you are leaving a legacy that impacts others in a positive way!
Anyway, think about that today as you go.
18 Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come. Psalm 71:18 New International Version (NIV)
Just a simple prayer this morning.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:14 New International Version (NIV)
Yesterday I started a fairly painful treatment on my knees called A-STYM therapy. When I say painful, I man ‘ouchie wawa’ painful. However this pain is supposed to bring about healing. The whole idea of the treatment is to break down the scar tissue and to create trauma for the muscles and tendons. This process will restart the healing process and eventually things should be better. YEAH! So the painful process of breaking down begins to create healing.
So it is with our spirits as well. When we are haughty and self seeking and go about it on our own, bad things may happen. But the Creator says he likes a broken spirit.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise. (Psalm 51:17 NIV)
Because then he can lift us up. So today embrace your brokenness and let God be the healer! Then you like my patella tendon, can be on your way to better days!
Yesterday in our Sunday morning worship we sang Zoe Group’s A New Anointing, which Andrew has been singing as he has transversed the house since that time. He created such an ear worm that all of us (minus the sleeping teenager) sung this song during the morning while preparing for the day. The part of the song he seems stuck on was this verse:
Let Your glory fill the earth!
As we declare
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day that the Lord has made
That’s a pretty good way to get started, even on a rainy cool Monday morning. Today, remember this is the day the Lord has made, and he made it for you. It’s another empty canvas waiting for you to paint! Paint something that will bring him glory!
24 This is the day which the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Well, let me first apologize for no email yesterday. There was a post, but as you can see from the post, I was in an awkward spot when I was composing that one, plus I was posting later in the day. As things were turn out I was unable to change the email delivery time remotely. But I am connected again today.
And today my time started on the wrong side of the day, or I should say my clock thought it was the evening when I needed it to it to think it was the morning – all of that riddle to say I am rushing just a bit this morning, as I head off for a remarkable day of discussing the merits of process modeling.
Anyway, I think if you subscribe by email you will get a double dose today, so make sure you check out both. And if on this ides of June you are rushing around as I am take a moment and consider this verse.
19 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy. Psalm 94:19 New International Version (NIV)
