“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24 KJV)
Are you ready for a brief Sunday morning lesson before you leave for church or while you are sitting in your pew waiting for service to begin? The lesson: With the exception of zero, one (1) is greater than any other number. Preposterous you proclaim! Ridiculous you rapidly respond! That’s a contradiction to mathematical concepts! Well, hear me out.
You work 5 to 6 days a week. You eat 2-3 times, and maybe 4 times a day, counting the snack you quietly, silently, snatch out of the kitchen before you settle down to sleep. When you were in school from primary days through high school, you attended 5 days a week. If you played football or someone in your family played the sport, you recall the pre-season 2-a-day practices. And when you think about the week that just ended yesterday, you were blessed 7 days! You checked your phone for texts, emails, and missed calls nearly 25 times or much more each day. But remember the lesson stated above: “With the exception of zero, one (1) is greater than any other number!” You need proof! Well let me provide the evidence.
There is the One Triune God; Father Son, and Holy Spirit! There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism! There is that one day that you accepted Christ and your eternal destiny was secure! There is One above who can forgive you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness! With the exception of zero, one (1) is greater than any other number.
One last piece of evidence. Today, the Lord’s Day where the saints of God assemble to worship in spirit and in truth; the one special day where we are fed with manna from on high; the day where we are filled spiritually to run on in the right direction on all the other days of the week. With the exception of zero, one (1) is greater than any other number. So knowing that, acknowledging the truth of my hypothesis, and having a sense of urgency, go worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, one more time. Go be blessed, and bless others with your presence! Praise God! Be blessed!
“…and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25 NASB)
Still committed to the climb,
