Sundays are a very busy day for me. Trying to stay focused on the sermon is a lot like tight rope walking. There are unusual happenings like the air conditioner is not working properly and then there is information that comes my way like my aunt is in the hospital. I try to keep it all straight and make it through it all. So, one would think Mondays would be a day to relax but it is a very difficult day for me in many ways.
It is Mondays that I sort through all that happened on Sunday. I try to make contact with those who I have learned are ill or hurting in other ways. This may require some detail fact finding. Then there are little things like a person lost a cell phone at church and has anyone seen it? Of course there is the one who noticed something no right on Sunday and those issues need to be looked into further.
But in the back of my mind I spend time evaluating how Sunday went. Did I preach too long? Was the sermon true to God’s Word? What about that family I haven’t seen for a few Sundays? Do I need to make contact? On and on it goes. Hence Mondays are emotionally draining for me.
I say all of this to make the point that only God can give me the correct way of looking at my Monday issues. Only God can help me to see life and my work in the church as it needs to be seen. So, I ask you again to pray for me that I will be in listening to God and allowing Him to lead me.
