Monday, A Gift From God
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
For many Monday is the start of a new workweek, and with that there is often met with mixed feelings. Some people dread the end of the weekend and the return to their responsibilities, while others wish away Monday in anticipation of the weekend ahead. However, as followers of Christ, we are called to view each day as a gift from God, including Monday.
Each day brings new opportunities, challenges, and blessings orchestrated by God for our growth and His glory. The psalmist in Psalm 118:24 reminds us, “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Every day, including Monday, is a precious gift from our loving Creator and as such it deserves to be celebrated.
As we embark on this new week, let’s remember that Monday offers a fresh start—a chance to reset and refocus on God’s plans for our lives. It is a day to be intentional about seeking His guidance and wisdom in our decisions and actions. Monday presents an opportunity to make a positive impact on those around us, reflecting God’s love and grace in all that we do.
Rather than approaching Monday with a sense of reluctance or dread, let us embrace it with a heart of gratitude and anticipation. When we shift our perspective and see Monday as a gift from God, it becomes an opportunity for us to walk in His purpose and experience His goodness in our daily lives.
Reflection: Are you rejoicing in this new day or did you wake up wishing the day away? If you find yourself having trouble rejoicing in today, start with praise.
