FOUR THINGS TO MAKE THIS SUNDAY GREAT

ByDr. Mark May 3, 2026 4 Comments
Today is going to be a great day! Here are three things to make this Sunday great: (1) Remember who you are; one of God’s chosen people! You may have been chosen for heaven-approved purpose! There is not anything comparable to being chosen by God!  (2) Remind yourself, of your privilege and your responsibility that comes with being a member of the royal...

MAKE HAPPY MEMORIES!

This week, admittedly, the meditations have been long reads. So, as you can imagine, I thank God that you remained faithful in reading them. Let me express my thankfulness to you this Saturday morning by rewarding you with a really short meditation. However, keep in mind that the length of this meditation will not leave you without a thought that will linger in your conscious not for a long...

WHY I’M SO SURE YOU CAN MAKE IT

“Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.” (Psalm 125:2 NLT) One of my favorite songs is “You Can Make It.”  The lyrics include these words: “You can make it.  You can make it.  These trials that you’re going through, God’s going to show you what to do.”  That’s good to know, right?  But listen to some other lyrics...

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will advise you with My eye upon you.} (Psalm 32:8 NASB) If you live in a large city, a mid-size city or even a small town, but increasingly growing town that was once considered a village located just outside a larger metropolitan district, the words of wisdom I will give to you today are applicable. Let me start with a...

MAKE THE CALL

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” (Maya Angelou) In movies where a major decision has to be made affecting a large population, you have heard the phrase, “Make the call.” In professional basketball, players who are in disagreement with a call made by the official extend their hands...

MAYBE THEY ARE LOOKING DOWN AND SMILING!

“The smile of God is the goal of your life.” (Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life) Some great faculty and alumni of the greatest high school ever, Crispus Attucks High School, in Indianapolis, have gone home to be with the Lord. The other day, I imagined them looking down and smiling at me. Not because I was a class clown that earned the senior class title of “Mr. Crazy,” but because of the...

MAKE THE CALL!

“Call upon Me on the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.” (Psalm 50:15 NASB) It’s Monday morning, and of course, you get your “Monday Short” meditation.  Let me borrow from the hymn written by William A. Ogden in 1887, borrow some of his words that still contain sound advice, “I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah!  The message unto you I’ll...

I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHY

“Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go...” (Genesis 28:15a NASB) Wednesday morning, after doing my early morning work, starting at 2:50 a.m. and stopping at 5:30 a.m., I laid back down for an hour nap.  Towards the end of the nap, I had a dream where I was center stage, performing an electronic keyboard performance in a packed auditorium.  After being introduced,...
