I like for Mondays to be super-productive work days. This selection from Daily Strength for Daily Needs both challenged and encouraged me.
“The Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.” Deut. 15:10
“I think I find most help in trying to look on all interruptions and hindrances to work that one has planned out for oneself as discipline, trials sent by God to help one against getting selfish over one’s work. Then one can feel that perhaps one’s true work — one’s work for God — consists in doing some trifling haphazard thing that has been thrown into one’s day. It is not waste of time, as one is tempted to think, it is the most important part of the work of the day — the part one can best offer to God. After such a hindrance, do not rush after the planned work; trust that the time to finish it will be given sometime, and keep a quiet heart about it.” Annie Keary (A British novelist who lived in the 1800’s, ran a home for young girls, and cared for numerous family members).
How do you respond when there are interruptions to your day?
Are you a real task-oriented person, determined to get your to-do list accomplished, or do you tend to go with the flow more?
Take this moment to remember in prayer that God is working in you and designing your day.
