The Lord’s Day

Leave a reply

The first day of the week was the day of Christ’s resurrection. (Mk. 16:9)

It was the day of worship for the early church. (1 Cor. 16:1,2)

John, the Revelator, called it “The Lord’s Day” when he addressed the early church. (Rev. 1:10)

Obviously, every day belongs to God, but in respect and reverence, we give the first day of the week to Him. Let’s all worship, hear the Word preached, and have fellowship with our eternal family on this, “The Lord’s Day.”

Lord, thank You for giving us Your best. We give this day back to You.

The Church’s One Foundation …

Is Jesus Christ, her Lord.

As Paul declared in Galatians 2:20, we Christians are the household of God, and He is building His house on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone.

Jesus warned that we should build our lives upon His teachings, so when the storms of life come, our house will stand.

By God’s grace, that is how Trinity Christian School is being built.

Heavenly Father, fill our lives with the grace and truth which came through Jesus. We stand, united in our faith and trust in Him.

Hearing God

“Blessed is the man that hears Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors.” Pr. 8:34

This verse changed my life. It gave me a solid reason to seek the Lord in the morning. It implies a required diligence on our part, with a reward worth far more than the energy expended. What does He want to say to you?

Lord, of all the things in life I can seek after, hearing Your voice of direction each morning gets moved to the top of my list. Grace me to intentionally put You FIRST.

“But I have prayed for you”

So declared Jesus (Luke 22:31) after revealing to Simon Peter that Satan wanted to deter him.  Paul the Apostle personally prayed for the members of the Colossian church on a continual basis. (Col. 1:3)

As Christian leaders, we are given the ultimate example by Jesus and Paul to spiritually protect the lives of our subordinates through prayer. Let’s get on with it.

Lord, I lift in prayer those I love, those I teach, and those for whom I am responsible. Protect and prosper them as only You can.  It’s always in Your Name I pray.

Thanks for viewing. Between today and Orientation, we will tread water a little to start the reading schedule when we can pick up more participants.

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,”  Colossians 1:1

We know the story of Saul’s conversion process … getting knocked to the ground by a great light and spending 3 days with blindness.  Yet, these were steps God had to take to clarify His will for Saul’s life.

Can you look at painful occurrences in your life and how God uses them to bring you closer to His will?

Lord, give me the grace necessary to accept life’s painful dealings and see how they actually bring me closer to Your purpose for my life.  Strengthen Tricia Nix and Mary Savage as they grieve for their lost loved ones.

Please join me every morning for a Bible reading plan to get you through God’s Word in one year.

Also, I will share a verse and an inspirational reflection to help you cultivate the healthy spiritual discipline of giving God the first and best part of your day.

“I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me.”  Pr. 8:17

Prayer: Lord, I need You more than anything else. Let me hear Your voice of direction each morning.
