It's Monday

Psa 118:24 "This is the day wich the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."

There is just something about Mondays that people seem to dislike. Could it be that it is the first day back to work for most people? They have enjoyed the weekend and now it is back to the same old grind. Let's see if we can't put a little different perspective on this blue Monday idea. Obviously, the first thing to consider is that even Monday is "A day the Lord hath made" and we are to rejoice and be glad in it. So, what is there to rejoice about, you may ask? I have to go back to work. Well, there is one thing to rejoice over - you have a job to go to, which means that you have a paycheck coming so that you can enjoy the weekends. Something else about Mondays is the anticipation of the coming week. From Monday, we look forward to Friday, but wait a minute, I have to work on Friday. Why don't we complain about Fridays as we do about Mondays? Maybe it is because we know that tomorrow is the weekend - Saturday, when we begin dreading the fact that the next day is Sunday and we have to go back to work on Monday. It seems like a vicious cycle, doesn't it? Monday should be an exciting day, because we have had time off to rest and get away for awhile. We have also had the privilege to be in Church on Sunday and to worship God with our brothers & sisters in Christ. We have had the opportunity to become revitalized and ready to face the wicked world because we have been reminded of God's abiding presence with us and His power that will help us through every day - even Monday. Yes, it's Monday and a wonderful Monday it is. Enjoy it.
