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 – Psalm 119:1-8

Psalm 119:1-8

“Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.
You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
reflect your decrees!
Then I will not be ashamed
when I compare my life with your commands.
As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
Please don’t give up on me!”

Daily D – 2 Kings 20:16-19

2 Kings 20:16-19 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Lord: The time is coming when everything in your palace—all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now—will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord. Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon’s king.”

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “This message you have given me from the Lord is good.” For the king was thinking, “At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime.”

Daily D – John 16:33

John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Daily D – John 16:19-22

John 16:19-22 Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again. I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.”

Daily D – John 15:12-13

John 15:12, 13 “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
