Monday Mornings

Lamentations 3:21-24, "Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."

Do you ever wonder why Monday Morning's are so hard? There are a few reasons that come to mind. 1) You absolutely hate what you do, 2) You had a great weekend and you do not want it to end, or 3) Your body, mind, and soul is just worn out from the previous week. Whatever the reason there is a great promise in the Bible found in the scripture stated earlier. His love, mercy, and faithfulness are new every morning. Why is this important?

When Sunday comes around we as believers receive the opportunity of attending a worship service where "hopefully" we are being built up in the faith. It happens in various forms. Such as: Worship in songs, Preaching of the Word, the Offering... yes the OFFERING, and the genuine fellowship of the believers. I don't know about you, but I look forward to seeing the faces of other believers who go through the same trials I go through throughout any given week. It builds me up to know I am not the only ONE. Is this not the purpose of fellowship. To be built up. Why? The Lord knows Monday morning is coming.lol. The Lord knows we need to be built up strong to face that Monday.

Many of us on that Sunday Morning sense the presence of God in a great way. We sense the Spirit of God leading and guiding the entire service. Let me tell you what the enemy would love to keep secret. "The same presence that is guiding that service and filling you with joy is the same Spirit that is with you everyday." The enemy knows that. The author writes, "Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope." Sometimes as believers we forget what we possess. We have the presence of God living and dwelling in us. The presence of God throughout the Bible is so powerful that it almost consumed the believers; remember Moses and the Isrealites? But the scripture follows by saying, "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail." Even on a Monday the Lord is faithful. Remind yourself of the Lord's Love today. Sunday Morning's are there to remind us of this truth, but the Lord wants to do it everyday of our lives. "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." The same God that created Sunday is the same God that created Monday.

Use what God had said on Sunday and put in to practice on Monday. God bless you. "His mercies are new every morning," including Monday Mornings.

"God is Good All the Time & All the Time God is Good"
