Isaiah 66:2
“But there is something I’m looking for:
a person simple and plain,
reverently responsive to what I say.”
(The Message)

It’s Monday. Again. Mondays often feel like letdowns after the self-determined activities of the weekend. How can we add a bit of energy and anticipation to Mondays? We can realize God is looking for people just like us. He wants to enrich the lives of those who are “simple and plain, reverently responsive” to him.

Ostentatious pretension is not what God enjoys in a person. He prefers when we live and worship simply, plainly, and reverently responsive to his guidance. 

Let the workweek begin with the satisfaction of knowing we don’t have to impress God with acts of derring-do. Instead, we can seek his heart and mind in our daily Bible reading. We can live what we say we believe. We can become salt and light wherever we go. We can listen for his voice as he guides our steps, our thoughts, and our simple service in his name.

If you need a motto to get through Monday and on into this week, Reverently Responsive is a pretty good choice. It reminds us of what God is looking for in people like us. It directs us toward productive and helpful service. It teaches us to keep life simple and straightforward. 

This could be the best Monday ever, or at least in a long time. 

I will live a Reverently Responsive life.

Our Father, empower us to live simple and plain, reverently responsive lives. Amen.

Daily D – Job 8:2-7

Job 8:2-7
“How long will you go on like this?
You sound like a blustering wind.
Does God twist justice?
Does the Almighty twist what is right?
Your children must have sinned against him,
so their punishment was well deserved.
But if you pray to God
and seek the favor of the Almighty,
and if you are pure and live with integrity,
he will surely rise up and restore your happy home.
And though you started with little,
you will end with much.”

Daily D – Job 1:9-11

Job 1:9-11 Satan replied to the LORD, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

Daily D – Psalm 145:17

Psalm 145:17
The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.

Daily D – Psalm 139:1-6

Psalm 139:1-6
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

Daily D – Psalm 130

Psalm 130
From the depths of despair, O LORD,
I call for your help.
Hear my cry, O Lord.
Pay attention to my prayer.
