Do You Hate Mondays?

What is your favorite day of the week? It's a safe bet that Monday is not your choice. Remember the song, "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down"? Why does Monday get such a bad rap?

During the weekly meeting with my staff pastors this morning, we were reflecting on the awesome outpouring of God's Spirit in our church services yesterday, and still celebrating the various spiritual victories within our church family around the altars at the close of our morning services. God was present, individuals were impacted, and the course of many peoples lives were redirected forever! Now what? Yesterday is gone. And worse yet, it's MONDAY!!!!

As we prayed and thanked God for His anointing and presence in yesterday's services, we were reminded that His grace and mercy is FRESH & NEW every morning! That means that today is the beginning of a new week, and God is standing by with new anointing, with fresh power, and the possibility of even bigger & better blessings than we witnessed yesterday! Today is another opportunity for His next MIRACLE!

What are you dreading this week? What is awaiting you at work? Don't despair. Don't get discouraged about what this week might bring your way. Look for God at every turn, and allow Him to turn your troubles into answered prayer and a big VICTORY! I am excited on this Monday, because God has something amazing to show me this week! I've learned to look forward to Mondays, because it is the start of a new week that is filled with opportunities to watch God do His thing!!

Thanks for your prayers last night. I had some trouble getting to sleep because I was still pumped from the excitement of the Lord's Day, but once I fell asleep, I slept soundly and peacefully. No drugs.....just prayer! Take that, Devil!!
