Sunday's propers address the relationship and differences between one's spiritual and temporal life and the proper balance between the two.
Before you attend church today, think on these things:
- Is anxiety about the necessities of life part of my daily experience - i.e., do I worry about what to wear or eat, etcetera?
- Am I working so hard at things temporal that my prayer/spiritual life has suffered?
- Have my wrestlings with faith issues (e.g. the one Paul deals with in the epistle) kept me from becoming "a new creation?" What do I need to stop/start doing in order to become what God offers to me?
