I wanted to encourage you this beautiful Monday morning to not grow weary in the waiting process. Mondays tend to be a time where we reset our countdown for Friday, and we begin the week feeling down that another work week is ahead of us. Mondays do not need to be dreadful or a drag. I desire for us to view the beginning of the week as a worthwhile journey that we should soak up and enjoy. Yes, we may be waiting for the weekend or our next vacation, but why be miserable in the miraculous act of living.
Maybe, you are waiting for a new job, a baby, a family member to be healed. I encourage you today to find hope by silently, patiently waiting on God. Do not miss out on the gift of the present moment by rushing through it or even zoning out. Today is a gift no matter the circumstance or your current job. Find and scope out the gems within this day. Life is a gift.
As we live this journey this week, choose to trust God in those moments of frustration or exhaustion. Pour your heart out to Him. Pour out the discontentment. Pour out to God the reason of needing to rush through the week. After pouring it out, trust that He will meet your present need moment to moment, and simply, enjoy this beautiful day.
TAKE AWAY:
1) Mondays do not need to be day where we grieve and mourn for the weekend; choose to enjoy every facet of the journey.
2) Wait on God, trust Him with everything, and pour your heart to Him.
MEDITATION:
“5 My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
8 Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.”
DAILY CHALLENGE:
1) Try not to look at your day as an entire week. What do you need to do or be today? Focus on doing and being just that.
2) Look at your week in a bird's eye view, and scope out your week ahead of time. What does your work flow look like? Where is some precious time that you can dedicate to spend time with God to be recharged and refilled for your journey?
