August 14, 2017 - HOW TO BEGIN YOUR WEEK


Day 226 - Psalm 90-92 & Romans 11:1-21

Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!” For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. (Psalm 90:1-4 ESV)

How do you plan to start this new work week? The Psalmist gives an excellent reminder. God is God. He is from everlasting to everlasting. He is in charge of everything, including time, and life itself. The hymn writer put it this way:

With the Lord begin your task; Jesus will direct it. 
For His aid and counsel ask; Jesus will perfect it. 
Ev’ry morn with Jesus rise, And when day is ended, 
In His name then close your eyes; Be to Him commended.
(“With the Lord Begin Your Task”, The Lutheran Service Book, CPH 2006, #869)

Lord, please help me to remember this week that You are in charge. Please guide me in Your way this week and always. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
