Perhaps you think it is a little strange to say, "I like Monday", because many people, for various reasons, seem to dread it as they face the responsibilities awaiting them. But I like Monday because throughout the day I love reflecting on the services of the previous day -- the beautiful hymns that spoke to my heart -- the messages from God's Holy Word that challenged me, blessed me and encouraged me -- the fellowship of God's people -- and realizing anew what a sweet privilege it is to be part of the family of God! And then, I also like Monday because I wonder -- what does Jesus have ahead for me this week? If He tarries and lends me breath, what does Jesus want me to do for Him this week?
It is sometimes easy for me, if I am not careful, to feel like I am accomplishing very little for Jesus. But this morning when I awakened, this little chorus came into my mind and spoke to my heart.
"Only to be what He wants me to be, every moment of every day.
Yielded completely to Jesus alone, every step of this pilgrim way.
Just to be clay in the Potter's hand; ready to do what His will demands--
Only to be what He wants me to be, every moment of every day."
May God bless you on this Monday, and may you know the joy that comes from giving all to Jesus -- every moment of every day!
