Today is Monday and it seems to always bring a new set of challenges. I know Sunday is the first day of the week but most people feel as if Monday begins the week. Monday has taken a bad rap for a long time. It is probably the least favorite day of the week.
However, Monday is a welcome day to many preachers. Some pastors probably Monday as a day off after a long day on Sunday. My day off is Thursday and it works well for me.
Monday does seem like a vacation day because Sunday is such a busy day for pastors. For me it is a time to rest and re-engage, to think about the week ahead, to remember what God did the day before, to recall what didn't work with the sermon, to evaluate the whole worship experience, to begin again the process of putting together the sermon that will be preached in less than 7 days.
On this Monday there is also a funeral. Ministry sometimes can be planned but sometimes it must happen.
Today is a great day because the Psalmist reminds us "Today is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it". I pray today you can and will rejoice whether or not today is your favorite day or least favorite!
