First Day
This is the “first day of the week” (Acts 20:7), and the first day of another month. What better way to start than by taking time to praise the Lord, worship Him and spend time in His presence. The rest of the quoted verse tells us that it was on the first day of the week that the early Christians “came together to break bread.” It was their joy, their privilege, their priority. They came together for the express purpose of breaking bread…eating of the loaf, and drinking of the cup. They had other privileges that day too, but first and foremost was the remembrance of the Lord.
What will your priority be today? Will it be to meet with other believers who love and honor the Lord Jesus, and to partake of the Lord’s Supper at the Lord’s Table? Can you truly echo the words of the Old Treatment prophet, when he said, “The desire of our soul is to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee” (Isaiah 26:8)? Is that your desire?
The Lord has promised, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). He will be there today, will you?
