Fixxxed? part 2.
If you thought you weren’t going to get heartfelt ramblings, you were wrong. Yesterday’s post was somewhat interesting, and it was probably brought on by any number of factors, most of which have nothing to do with what was discussed.
Anyway, moving forward. Since Rachel is away at a conference with the car, I didn’t have an independent method of transport to get to church this morning. I coulda shoulda woulda called someone from church to see if I could get a lift, but couldn’t find anybody’s phone numbers. Slack I am.
So, I went looking for something else to fill my morning. It started with looking at home loans, which makes my head spin, and I’ve got plenty of information, but not much I can do until tomorrow. So, I figured I should spend some time doing something God-related. Of course, I should be doing something God-related every day, but that’s another kettle of peanuts.
So, I jumped on the iTunes store to see what wonderful podcasts I could find. I found the Desiring God sessions by John Piper, and starting downloading one, but then noticed Brian Houston’s podcast. So, as slow as it is, I started simultaneously downloading one from each. Brian Houston’s arrived first. It was entitled “This is Your Day”. It’s got two parts.
First off, he talks about counting our days and making every day count for something. A lot of people remember the ‘big days’ in our lives, the weddings, funerals, holidays and parties. But what about all the little days in between? For Christians, Sunday is the first and most holy day of the week. For Muslims, Friday is the most holy. For everybody else, who knows? Let every day be a good day.
In part 2, Brian reminds us to ‘Not let the sun go down on your anger’. That’s from Ephesians 4:26. Every time the sun goes down, it comes up again the next day. So if the sun goes down and you haven’t dealt with an issue or problem in your life, the sun will come up with it the next day.
I’ve been carrying a lot of issues every day, for thousands of days. The sun has gone down on those issues every day, and come up with them every following morning.
So let the issues go, and let the sun go down with those issues resolved.
If the sun isn’t eclipsed by those things, the Son will shine.
Let the Son shine and the problems will be fixxxed.
