MONDAY CAN BE LIKE FRIDAY

Isaiah 30:18 AMPC And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

Today’s picture shows one of those comments that makes you stop and think! ‘Monday is like Friday spelled differently’.😊 But so much of our culture teaches us to expect to have the Monday morning blues, and to thank God it’s Friday when the end of the week comes so we can have the weekend break. For many it’s enduring the days in between until they can have time off!

But God wants us to enjoy every day just because He is walking through it with us, because He has promised to uphold, strengthen and help us. He’s promised everything we set our hand to do will prosper, and He says we’re blessed going out and coming in. He reminds us His favour is surrounding us like a shield so we can look forward to each day.

Maybe it will help us when we wake up each morning, whether it’s Monday or not, and remind ourselves of God’s presence with us in every minute of our day, of His matchless unbroken companionship.😊 Whether we go to work or we’re retired or waiting for work, let’s approach each day with a thankful heart, expecting God’s goodness and mercy to chase us down.

And can I give us a nudge to stir up our faith so the Lord can see we’re one of those who are eagerly looking for Him and for everything mentioned in our verse, so He can be gracious to us, to show us His loving kindness and mercy. 

May your Monday and every other day of the week be truly blessed, whatever day you happen to read this, because God is in it with you and He has already gone ahead and prepared the way. In Jesus name. Amen.😊
