A Letter from the Pastor
October, 2020
Some of MUMC’s growth groups had a 40-day Upper Room Morning Devotion in the spring, and Tuesday Upper Room Devotion in the summer. As I read the devotions of many Christians from all over the world, I noticed that there was a recurring theme in those devotions. It seems like more than 50% of them were about worry or anxiety. Today, it seems like our anxiety level is higher than ever with COVID-19, racial injustice, and the upcoming election. But the Bible says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”(Proverbs 4:23).
Friends, what was the very first word from the risen Christ to the disciples who were like frightened mice? Yes, it was “peace”. He said, “Peace be with you!” After showing them his hands and side, he said again, “Peace be with you!” A week later, Jesus came to them again, and stood among them and said the exact same words, “Peace be with you!” What do these words tell us? Friends, our Lord wants his followers, you and me, to have the peace of God, which passes all human understanding in our hearts.
The Apostle Paul told how to obtain the peace of God in our hearts: 6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7). What is the antidote to anxiety according to the Apostle Paul? Prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. This is so counter-intuitive, isn’t it? But isn’t it true that if we are anxious about something constantly, we usually complain or become bitter, which eventually blinds us to see the blessings God has given us in our lives? That’s why the attitude of gratitude is the remedy to anxiety.
So, I invite all MUMC family and friends to remind yourselves of blessings in your life daily by using the "My Daily Gratitude Reminder" in the morning before you start your day for the next three months: October, November, and December. "What is “My Daily Gratitude Reminder" you say? It is a simple form that we will send you during the last week of September so that you may fill it out as you reflect on God's blessings in your life. It is a great activity that you can do with your family and friends. Whatever you put in the form will be your daily gratitude reminder. I suggest leaving the reminder by your bedside. In the morning when you open your eyes, pick it up and read it quietly or aloud to remind yourselves of the blessings in your life. I trust that starting your day with this special time will lead you to experience God's faithfulness of His promise: "The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
In Christ,
Sue Lee
