Jeremiah 32:17 “Oh, LORD God! You yourself made the heavens and earth by your great power and with your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you!” (CSB)

—

Mondays require reminders. Here’s a good one: Nothing is too difficult for God.

You have never had a problem he couldn’t solve. You have never been out of his reach. You have never been out of his care. You have never lacked his love. There has never been a day when he did not woo you to his very heart.

Remember this as you plan your week.

Remember this when your pre-mortem raises the fear of failure.

Remember this when inevitable obstacles arise.

Remember this when best-laid plans run off the rails.

Remember this when someone hurts your feelings.

Remember this when you fail.

Remember this when you succeed.

Remember this when someone extends love and friendship to you.

Remember this when your planning and procedures produce provision for many.

Remember this when you leap over walls.

Remember this when your after-action review reveals what you did right.

Remember this as you remember that we live in a Good Friday world where everything feels like death and that we also live in a Resurrection Sunday world where everything is redeemed.

I love Monday. It builds on Sunday. It aims for the next Sunday. It reminds us of all that is true and good. It fills our dreams with wonder and delight, knowing we live in the waxing light of forever.

I will welcome Mondays which stand between Sundays and forecast the everlasting day to come.

Our Father, thank you for this first day of the workweek. Empower us for all that is ahead of us today and this week. Remind us as often as necessary how we are progressing toward that Day when we enter your perfect presence forever. Remind us to weep all of our tears here and now. Remind us to feel all of our pain in these waning days of woe. Remind us how death will soon be swallowed up in victory. Amen.

Daily D – Isaiah 65:1-2

Isaiah 65:1, 2
The Lord says, “I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help.
I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’
to a nation that did not call on my name.
All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people.
But they follow their own evil paths
and their own crooked schemes.”

Daily D – Psalm 131

Psalm 131
Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.
I don’t concern myself with matters too great
or too awesome for me to grasp.
Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,
like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.
Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, put your hope in the Lord—
now and always.

Daily D – Isaiah 55:8-13

Isaiah 55:8-13
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

“The rain and snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.
It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
You will live in joy and peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song,
and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.
Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.
These events will bring great honor to the LORD’s name;
they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”

Daily D – Isaiah 50:4-5

Isaiah 50:4, 5 “The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom,
so that I know how to comfort the weary.
Morning by morning he wakens me
and opens my understanding to his will.
The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me,
and I have listened.
I have not rebelled or turned away.”

Daily D – Isaiah 48:17-18

Isaiah 48:17, 18 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the LORD your God,
who teaches you what is good for you
and leads you along the paths you should follow.
Oh, that you had listened to my commands!
Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river
and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.”
