First Steps – Monday, September 6, 2021

Today’s reflection is a post from my journal from a few weeks ago:

I’m genuinely sad. I pastor a congregation that lost a fine man yesterday. I’ve known him for 10 years, so I don’t assume my grief compares to those who knew him longer. Furthermore, my sadness is a small reflection of the pain and grief his family feels. Nonetheless, I feel the loss of someone who was a good human being who always sought to see the best in people. He treated people with dignity and respect. I wish the world was filled with those gregarious, fun-loving, kind souls that go about their day wanting others to feel love and validation. I’m certain life would be better if my wish was reality. Who knows, maybe one day.

Over the next few days, I’m certain that many will draw strength from telling stories about this dear soul. I’m certain many will find comfort in being together sharing their grief. I hope all who loved him will find a sense of peace in expressing their faith in God. One of the things I count on is the ability of God to reach down into the depths of a person’s being and hold him/her so that rest can be experienced. The way a child curls up in the arms of a parent is the image I envision. Everyone needs this security when faced with loss and grief. Frankly, I pray for that comfort for all who grieve.

Maybe today you find yourself experiencing loss and grief. If so, I hope you know there is a God willing to carry your burden. Reflect on his words, “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart; and you will find rest. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – Acts 2
Tuesday – Acts 3
Wednesday – Acts 4
Thursday – Acts 5
Friday – Acts 6, Acts 7

First Steps – Monday, August 30, 2021

In a few days it will be Labor Day – a holiday born out of the late 1800’s to honor the American worker. For me, Labor Day is an opportunity to reclaim the importance of Sabbath. Though many reduce Sabbath to a single day of rest, the concept is larger than a day. It was given to help establish a proper rhythm for life. Sabbath is about boundaries and margins. Both work and rest complement each other and hold each other in check. We need them both but, in an appropriate balance.

In Genesis, God is seen as working and resting—a rhythm (Genesis 1 & 2). In Exodus 20, the Children of Israel are commanded to “remember the Sabbath day.” This practice was to help them remember that they were no longer a commodity—they once were in Egypt under Pharaoh. They lived as commodities for so long that they saw themselves as only the product of their hands.

Everyone needs a rhythm and to be reminded that they are not a commodity. Work, Rest, Work, Rest…that is the rhythm. You are more than a commodity; therefore, why live beneath what God desires for you? This week reclaim your true value as a person in God. Work and Rest are equally valuable, especially when they are held in balance.

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – Luke 21
Tuesday – Luke 22
Wednesday – Luke 23
Thursday – Luke 24
Friday – Acts 1

Please Pray for:

Our world as we are still dealing with the Covid Crisis.

First Steps – Monday, August 23, 2021

There is a part in the great spiritual classic, Pilgrim’s Progress, where the main character, Pilgrim meets the gatekeeper, Porter. Upon meeting, Porter asked the Pilgrim his name.

Porter: What is your name?
Pilgrim: My name is now Christian, but my name at first was Graceless.

I’ve often thought of those lines and how true they are for so many. Every follower of Christ is given the same name, Christian. Likewise, every follower’s previous name was Graceless. The moment someone believes, God gives that person a new name. They are named after Christ, the One they follow.

This week I hope you will think of your new name; one given by God. Reflect on the grace you have received and give thanks that once you were named Graceless, but now, Christian.

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – Luke 16
Tuesday – Luke 17
Wednesday – Luke 18
Thursday – Luke 19
Friday – Luke 20

Please Pray for:

The world as we are still dealing with Covid-19.
Parents, teachers, and students as the 2021-2022 school term gets underway.
All upcoming ministry events inside and outside the walls of St. Paul.
Families in crisis.
Loved ones battling illness.
