Ever have one of those weeks when you are ready to move on? When I start thinking “TGIF” (or what ever day you may have off and think this), I have to remind myself what the Bible says – Gods mercies are new every morning. We don’t have to wait until Friday to feel relief in our lives.
Sure, it’s nice to think you may have a few days off and less stress (or at least less work stress) because it’s the weekend, but why let that work stress on any day rob you of joy in your life, appreciation for the day your do have, and excitement for what lies ahead? Whether you are facing mega stress or a little stress with work, relationships, health, loved ones, etc., God is there for you and every morning wants to show you his mercies – forgiveness, compassion and kindness. I bet if we really thought this to be true, there would be a lot less need for ambien, we’d all sleep better at night, and we wouldn’t have to think “TGIF” the minute we open our eyes on Fridays! Enjoy your weekend (whether you work or not) and His mercies!
