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 – Mark 9:33-37

Mark 9:33-37 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who was the greatest. Sitting down, he called the Twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last and servant of all.” He took a child, had him stand among them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one little child such as this in my name welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but him who sent me.”

Psalm 97:11 Light dawns for the righteous, gladness for the upright in heart.

Daily D – Mark 3:1-6

Mark 3:1-6 Jesus entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a shriveled hand. In order to accuse him, they were watching him closely to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath. He told the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand before us.” Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. After looking around at them with anger, he was grieved at the hardness of their hearts and told the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. Immediately the Pharisees went out and started plotting with the Herodians against him, how they might kill him.

Daily D – Mark 2:1-5

Mark 2:1-5 When he entered Capernaum again after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and he was speaking the word to them. They came to him bringing a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Daily D – Matthew 27:54

Matthew 27:54 When the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were terrified and said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
