The greatest day of the week is Thursday. I hope that’s established now.
What makes Thursday the greatest day, among other things, is the opportunity to enjoy a treat, and what a treat it is to spend the day reflecting and considering. Reflecting on the goodness of God over a year and considering the goodness of God in the year to come.
What all this does is to centre everything on God, and what becomes all the more abundantly clear is how things go well when God is at the centre of everything. As His grace comes through in activities, conversations and thoughts, so His Kingdom is expressed by us who choose to prioritise His Kingdom and His righteousness.
An aspect of that priority for me in recent weeks has been exploring what it means to delight myself in the Lord. I’ve written about it before and posted it here. However, that’s not enough for me, and I’m hoping it will be a theme that underpins my activities, conversations, and thoughts in the coming season of life.
In terms of activity on this blog, recent months have seen a lot of daily activity. That has been enjoyable as long as God has made it viable. For some of the things I’m hoping to work on in the coming days, however, I won’t be operating on as regular a basis. I hope to post something about the new schedule soon, including where to find the work I do elsewhere.
The big motivator for all this is what I can do to delight myself in the Lord, as Jesus Christ did. And that delight was about spending quality time with the Father to learn and abide in His will, and let that be the course that guided Him day by day. Anything good about me that I’ve experienced has come about because God is good and invites me to spend all that I am delighting in Him. I hope that’s expressed through what I’ll do in life in this coming season.
In the meantime, thanks again for being along on the journey. I hope you, too, will identify what it means to delight yourself in the Lord and take great joy in doing so.
For His Name’s Sake
