There’s something about Monday morning that brings a strong reaction. A glance at social media proves the obvious — that it’s not a popular morning of the week. But it’s also Blank Slate Day, with a chance to start anew. As Anne Shirley in Lucy Maude Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables notes, “Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it yet.”
In my Monday Eye-Opener posts, I hope to find bits of encouragement to share as we start each week. It certainly helps when we know that we have a loving God who is watching and guiding us.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” (Psalm 32:8, NIV)
Did you catch that? God not only watches us and instructs us — He watches “with a loving eye on you.” He loves us! Any counsel or course correction from Him is therefore always for our good and to give us hope.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV)
When we dedicate our week to pleasing God who loves us, we direct our intentions and energies to the One who has the wisdom and strength that no one else has. The One who created us with a purpose. The One who has loved us since forever, and who never changes or breaks His promises.
What could be a better eye-opener than that?
Why, yes - this post is a beautiful eye opener to God's loving eyes upon us. I enjoyed the intellectual stimulation as well as the heart's for God's love. You created a beautiful "need t hear" message and I thank God he brought you into our lives.
