How to start a day? ...

Monday, Feb 16, 2009. How to start a day, a week. You may say that you do not have time to think about this, since your day is already planned and determined. You do not have a choice. That might seem to be true - I know quite well what you say. We are all following lines of activity. Some go to school. Others to work. There are meetings, deadlines, requests, commands etc etc. However, this is not what I mean!

We might start a day or a week with a brief meditation about what we are and where we want to go. This is general - you do not need to believe in Jesus to do so. But for people of faith it is particularly important. God's task is to be with everyone with his Holy Spirit. Our day will change, when we live it with God, when his love, grace, truth and wisdom influences our thoughts and actions.

God wants to go with us into the day - that is part of the key message of the New Testament. This does not mean that he would take us out of the busy things which line up to be carried out. But he wants to be there and open new options, new possibilities for us. He wants to show us how we can learn from him. He changes our existence - through our faith, our open ear to what he has to say and when we follow him! [R.P., Reading, UK]
