Today’s Thought “Can’t Wait for Sunday Morn!” G. Ward

 

“Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Acts 2:46-47

 

There’s a song I’ve enjoyed for 36 years now. The lyrical content maintains a biblical proportion. The very first line of the refrain is, “We’ve got tonight! Who needs tomorrow? Let’s make it last, let’s find a way… (Bob Segar, We’ve Got Tonight, 1978).” I do understand the strong plea he desires to make is pertinent to love (particularly sensual), but I more enjoy the urgency of adopting the moment over exhaustive planning.

If you’ll flatter me in dichotomizing this song unto spiritual relativity, I’ll not keep you long. There’s a passage in Matthew, chapter 6, vs. 34 that teaches us that every opportunity in believer-ship is moment to moment (“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”). Therefore, my familiarity with the anxiety for Christian’s designated worship day as anticipatory, I echo a Bob Segar kind of supplication: We all have today, who needs a worship center to gather when we all have a copy of Holy God’s word within our homes? The church given us in Acts 2, were so entirely elated with the gathering point (at large), that their insistence to convene became a daily plight. Can you say Home Bible Study? Are your children or grandchildren witnessing you come away from social networking and television long enough to consider what your LORD desires for you (cf. 2 Ti.2:15)?

Happy Wednesday!
