Sundays imply the beginning of a new week full of to-dos and activities and schedules to keep up. Did you know there is a term for the impending anxiety that a growing number of the population feels on a Sunday with starting another week? It’s called the “Sunday scaries” and it’s more than a sickness if we look beneath the surface…. It’s a symptom of an unnatural pace of life.
Throughout Scripture we see the importance of abiding with God. That’s not to say that work isn’t important, because it is, but that when we are striving and pushing ourselves towards something we must ask what we are moving towards? Mary and Martha in the New Testament reveal the pace of life and pushing through tasks FOR Jesus was never His intention for where He wants us. He didn’t want Martha running herself ragged in hopes of making everything perfect and acceptable to Jesus. Spending time with Him at His feet was what He desired most. We cannot make this world perfect and acceptable to Jesus, that is the work He is doing through redemption and restoration. What we are asked to do is abide with Christ.
As Sunday winds down and the new work week looms in front of us, take some time to prayerfully abide with Christ and ask Him what He has for you to do this week. 👣
