Friday - Thoughts for Sunday July 30th Sermon
The sermon will have two points; two ways of dealing with the tedium of tomorrow and the terror of tomorrow. We remember the words of Jesus who said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has problems of its own.”
Some of what tomorrow brings is small. It’s boring. It’s boredom; Monday morning monotony. When we face the tedium of tomorrow then we will want to do something different. We will want to change what has become our pattern or our way of doing things.
Some of what tomorrow brings is big. It’s frightening. It’s threatening and scary. Tomorrow can bring death or illness. It can bring uncertainty and failure. Monday morning can loom awaiting us like a menacing presence. When Monday morning brings something big we will want to imagine something new. It’s time to rethink; to re-imagine.
- What do you do about Monday morning; about tomorrow when it’s small or when it’s big?
