I don’t know about you, but I find this so encouraging as often times I find myself dreading Mondays and becoming overwhelmed just thinking about them. It seems Sunday nights my mind begins to wonder as I take inventory and make mental lists of all that needs done in preparation for and in addition to all that needs done the next day. Starting my week off like this is setting myself up for failure as I’m beginning my week already defeated.
A dear friend of mine, and the beautiful bride of Dustin here at DHM once told me, Monday’s are her favorite day which I in turn thought she was crazy, and well after hearing her reasoning I only think she is partially crazy – just kidding Lor. In any event, Mondays are her favorite day because she sees them as a new beginning, a day to start the week all over again afresh and anew. Monday’s are her clean slate.
It reminded me of the verse in Lamentations 3:22-23, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
Yes, His mercies are new and made available to us each and every day; that means each day can be a clean slate. So live for today and enjoy the moment. God never meant you to start your week out from a place of dread and anxiety, but from a place of rest.
Matthew 11:28-29 “…Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Rest in Him today, you got this!
