In between Sundays

It is a fact that Sunday is a day that we should give our time and thoughts to God. A day where we pause to remember all that God has done for us. We may put a lot of effort into Sunday to make sure that we can be the best person that we can be in the sight of God and in the sight of our fellow man. But what about the days in between Sundays? Aren’t they important too? Absolutely!

The Psalmist David said in Psalm 1:1-2, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.” Here we have the idea of someone who continually is meditating on God’s law or his word. The example for us is to make sure that we do this, not just on Sunday, but every day of our lives.

Paul tells Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:16, “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” We are not only to continue meditating on God’s word, but also continue in doing what it requires us to do. We absolutely do not get a vacation from this after Sunday as so many tend to think. Sunday, after all, is the easiest day of the week to be a Christian. It’s after this, when we face the world during the week, that we will truly be tested. Therefore, we must be on our guard day and night, striving to live as the Christian should live, not just on Sunday, but during each and every day of our lives!
