On Sundays

How do Sunday mornings start at your house?

I ask this question because I believe Sunday morning, before the organ has warmed up or the Sunday school doors have been unlocked, the Lord keeping a close eye on the homes of His people. He sees the coffee pot come on. He hears those showers running. He visits in and listens for the hearts of his worshippers...

Sunday mornings are different for different people...
Some say Sunday is a great day for fishing...
Some believe it is the best of days to catch up on sleep...

Those who have tasted and seen that the Lord is good, say with the Psalmist:
"O Lord, I love the habitation of your house
and the place where your glory dwells!

"My foot stands on level ground;
in the great assembly, I will bless the Lord." (Psalm 27)

As the brew drips in the coffee pot and those first chills of ice cold waters shout from the showers, the heart of the redeemed should turn his heart unto the Lord and rush to the place where the people of God gather to sing of the rescue that is called Immanuel.

Don't let worship start for you when you drive into the parking lot at church. Grow in anticipation as soon as the Lord gently wakes you. Let your heart begin to be stirred. Wake your family up with peace and rejoicing. And crave like a starving and thirsty man for the body and blood that awaits you in the assembly of God's redeemed.
