Mondays!
Mondays! Everybody has them! The alarm didn’t go off, the car wouldn’t start, you
spilled your coffee on your shirt, and it’s raining. These are the days when anything that can go
wrong will. These are the days that you wish didn’t even exist. What if I told you that you could
erase Monday off of your calendar? I don’t mean that we would go to a six-day week, but I can
help you with getting rid of your “Mondays.” You see, Monday is a mindset! I know this
because the same things that happen on your Monday can happen to you on Friday, but no one
says, “Oh no, it’s Friday again!” We may not be able to control the circumstances of the day, but
we can control how we respond to them. “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice
and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
Every day we have is a gift from God. Although some days we may wish we would have
stayed in bed, we are still able to find something to rejoice about. So, you overslept, rejoice that
you were able to wake up. Catch a ride to work, and rejoice in the fact that you have a job and a
friend who will help you get there. Wear your stained shirt proudly and rejoice that you have
clothes to wear. Make sure you grab your umbrella, and rejoice in the fact that after the rain
comes the sun! Live out that “Monday,” in your life, because you never know – it just might be
your last.
