My Fourth Day - Your Fourth Day
By Norm Cyr
It’s Sunday evening, 5:00 p.m., at Dedeaux. Our hearts are on fire! Our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit have just completed three days and three nights of love, fellowship and fun the likes of which any of us could not have imagined on Thursday evening. They closed the weekend with something called the fourth day. Something that actually started on the second day, Monday, yet is to be remembered now and forever as our fourth day. We are called to live the fourth day. The day after Dedeaux. The day after the closura. The day that is suppose to end all other normal days of our lives.
Are you living your fourth day? Or has the adversary put you back under his yoke titled busy? (Back Under Satan’s Yoke).
On Thursday evening this yoke was lifted from your shoulders when you entered the sacred ground of Dedeaux. Your cell phones and watches were removed because you entered into “God’s time”. The Palanca team made sure you had plenty to eat to sustain you physically. The Cursillo team allowed the Holy Spirit to feed you spiritually for three whole days and parts of three whole nights. You sat, you listened, you prayed, you learned, you loved, you were served, you were sustained both physically and spiritually. All this in preparation for your fourth day.
Just how do you live the fourth day anyway?
Answer. One day at a time for starters. Remember in God’s time there is no yesterday or tomorrow. There is only the present. Only the now, only the moment. Life in every breath.
Live in the present so the past and future do not become burdens to you. Enjoy life in every breath. Pray without ceasing. Never forget God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit are with you with every breath you take.
