Holy urgency

Easter Monday

Jacob went on his way, and God’s messengers approached him. ~ Genesis 32:1 (CEB)

The angel said to the women, "Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.'" ~ Matthew 28:5a,7 (NRSV)

SUMMARY SENTENCE:
When God sends us on an assignment it is time to get moving.
PRAYER:
Thank you, God, for the new life that Christ Jesus secured for us through the resurrection. He left the Heavenly Fellowship to make it happen. I confess that even though I find this to be good news I am sluggish in my response. I know that I should move outside my comfort zone to share the news but I keep finding excuses to sit in my chair. Use your Spirit to foster a sense of holy urgency so that I can complete my assignment. I'm no longer going to be a procrastinator. Amen.
