Weekend Agenda


What is the Lord up to today?

It's the weekend.  And for most of us, we have a couple of days off. 

How will we spend this time?  Doing some yard work, running some errands, going to church on Sunday?  Perhaps getting a ride in, spending time with family?

That's our agenda.  We make a list, we get moving. 

What if today we spent a few moments asking the Lord what he is up to?  Are we open to changing our agenda to join him?

Let's try that, If you are willing, join me in this simple prayer.

"Lord, open my eyes to see your work in the lives of those I come into contact with today.  Help me see your activity around me, invite me to join in with what you are doing.  I'm willing to change my agenda, today, to join you."

Jesus lived his life on the earth this way, should we do any less?

"Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.  For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does." John 5:19-20 (NIV)
