Your daily faith



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.
