Farewell Monday Blues!

Lamentations 3:22-23

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”


As I awoke this morning with fear inside my heart, God gave me this word. Today was the day of my internship interview with UBS AG Bank. This being a highly coveted and prestigious internship was an interview I never thought I could get. The first thought to my mind, when I got a call from UBS to go down for an interview, was “Me? You sure, me?” My grades were not up to the expectation of the bank and many other applicants (like my friends) tried applying and did not even get an interview. So why me Lord? I felt truly blessed. Other than being blessed, God reminded me of his faithfulness. That I do not have to worry about how things are going to be, if I am getting the job or not and what my future encompasses. Cos’ I got a faithful God, one that will never fail me.

I walked out of my house, with fear and yet with an embrace for Monday. Monday never seemed better, as I am reminded that whatever comes this week, my God is faithful and his love and faithfulness will never end, they are new, NEW every morning! How marvelous is that! A new portion every day! I suddenly felt silly, having the worldly mindset of “Monday blues” in the past.

Let us embrace this week, with great joy today! Its not Monday blues with God in our lives, so why live each day on our past? Today, are we bothered by something? Are we burdened by our past? Or burdened by something? God wants to remind us that we serve a faithful God. Embrace a new beginning and day with the Lord today. Cos’ His mercies and faithfulness are new everyday, not just for me, but for you as well.
