If you are like most, Sunday is the day to feel
spiritual. Having been raised in the
church, there has never been a question about where we'd be on Sunday
morning. The New Testament examples of
worship, and especially participating by partaking of communion with the church
family, just makes Sunday feel more spiritual than the other days of the week.
With that in mind, also remember it is the New Testament
teaching that belonging to the Lord is a full-time commitment and that includes
Monday through Saturday, in addition to Sunday, the day we assemble for
worship. So if we get too deep into
thinking Sunday is the day for us to feel spiritual, does that mean Sunday is
reserved for spiritual things, and the other days of the week we are to be less
spiritual?
Don't get me wrong, Sunday is a special day. We know it as "The Lord's Day." Our
belief in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, naturally brings special
meaning to His day. But what do you
suppose should happen to bring the common, ordinary days to become
"special" days, too? Perhaps
we should examine our Sunday faith as compared to our Monday faith.
Not long ago, while thumbing through the pages of a study
Bible, I was shown the importance of Daily Faith. In fact, those who published that Bible with
its study helps, made a list to help people like you and me to learn the
importance of daily faith. Paul says in
2 Corinthians 13:5, "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the
faith; test yourselves." Check out the list today, and
throughout the weekend.
Daily
faith tests your commitment to Bible study.
Daily
faith expects absolute commitment to Christ.
Daily faith
exemplifies the highest definitions of faith and love.
Daily faith asks you
to confess half-hearted faith as a sin.
Daily faith makes you
test your faithfulness by Christ's.
Daily faith shows the
weakness of all your excuses.
Enjoy your study and prayer time, and expect growth in your
life of faith. God bless.
