It’s Monday. For some
it feels like back to the salt mine. Put your nose to the grindstone. It’s just something you’ve gotta do. Often
the American worker wakes up in their mid years and wonder how they got where
they are. There must be more than this
may be muttered under the breath as each one after another goes to their
vehicle and climbs in for the drive to the office or the plant. Everyone starts out feeling so good about
work and getting ahead. Yet after so many years, the clock punching can get old
and the back goes out more than they do.
Life can be really monotonous. It’s so repetitive in day to day life. No
matter how many dishes you do, there’s always dishes to do. No matter how many
clothes you wash or meals you prepare there’s always more. Work, housework, repairs, bills, etc. Is this
really it you may be asking yourself this morning.
It is what it is. Unless…what
if our destiny is not in our own hands? What if we don’t go to work alone? What
if our paycheck is a gift? What if the money we have and the life we live
belongs to someone else rather than just to us?
Your Mondays may have been mundane, but when you apply God’s
Word to every day of the week, it’s bound to be Sunday in your heart! Every
good gift you have is given to you by Him! Every opportunity to see another
Monday is a gift as well. Every paycheck handed to you each payday is a present
straight from the Throne Room, giving you opportunities to make it in this
world.
Oh beloved, run to the Master Employer and read what He has
to say about you! He loves you so much that He has given you something to live
for beyond the everyday! Everything you have has been given you by the Lord! Let Him love you and show you that your
destiny is in His hands, not your own! Even if you’ve gotten to a bad spot
where there’s more money than paycheck, run to Him! He not only gives you grace
to make it, He is able to make a way where there is no way. Love the Lord and
let Him show you how to be more than a worker, to be a light in the darkness
wherever He has allowed you to be.
Oh how He loves you! Oh how He has plans for you! Oh how He
will take your Monday and make it more than glorious because you are walking
with the King! You don’t have to be anxious or downtrodden, for you are a
servant of the Most High God! Seek His face, work as though He were your boss
and thank Him for everything He gives you to do! Seek Him if you need help with
your bills, your troubles, your fears. He is always with you! You are blessed,
you are walking through the hard places into His loving care and your destiny
is secure in Christ!
Colossians 3:23-24 Work willingly at
whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Remember that the Lord will give you an
inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
Proverbs 3:26 for the Lord is your
security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.
Isaiah 29:19 The humble will be filled with
fresh joy from the Lord. The poor will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Deuteronomy 24:14 Let the favor of the Lord
our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm
the work of our hands. NAS
Psalm 121:2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and
earth!
