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...

WOKE UP EARLY THIS MORNING

“…nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42b KJV) In the evenings and sometimes when we wake up in the middle of the night, we have ideas and plans to do certain things on the next day.  When that happens we are in agreement with those who purport that our most creative moments are in the evening.  Okay, but what happens when morning comes?  Do we actually...

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!” (Psalm 100:4 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) Many of you will not only feast on turkeys and hams in a couple of days, along with a plethora of perfectly cooked sides, plenty of desserts, post-dinner time...

If this was Sunday afternoon, shortly after you had left the place of worship, most of you reading these meditations regularly, I’m quite sure you would quickly reply to the question above with something like, ‘People will see the Christ that lives in me.” Some will even borrow a saying they really don’t understand, “Blessed and highly favored.”  Then again, just maybe, one would...

TODAY

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” – (Mother Teresa) This is your Monday Short meditation and even though this is a brief message, I want you to think long and hard about what I am about to write. The words are few, but the weight of these words is heavy.  How many times have we procrastinated, postponed, put off doing something;...

SO, YOU WANT A SHORT ONE?

“…and when one blind man leads another, both fall into a ditch.” (Matthew 15:14 Good News Translation) This meditation is for those who question whether or not I can do “short,” referring to the length of the meditations at times. Well, it does not have to be a Monday for me to do “short!” I can do “short.” Let me show you! Have you ever heard that saying, “Like the blind...

“Later, in one of his talks, Jesus said to the people, “I am the Light of the world. So, if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.” (John 8:12 The Living Bible) This is your Monday Short meditation. See if you are in agreement with me. At least a couple days of the week, for the last two months, I find myself singing or asking...

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...

NO CHARGE!

“Jesus paid the price and won the victory. Dying on the cross, He rose to set me free. Giving up His life in love that I might live forever, Jesus paid the price and won the victory.” (Lyrics from “Jesus Paid the Price” by Elton Smith and Steve Israel) Friday, I went to a couple of thrift shops, and in retrospect, is realized that I should have gone home after I had done some bargain...

BE HAPPY TODAY!

“Seek your happiness in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desire.” (Psalm 37:4 Good News Translation) Often, I find motivation from some of the inspirational wall hangings or other pieces of art in my house. While at times I pay them little attention, other times the words on these décor items seem to jump out at me as if they were hung in their spot specifically for me. ...
