As I write on this Monday morning, I wonder how many are experiencing ‘blue Monday.’ My last few days have been a pale shade of blue. I think the main culprits were fatigue, discouragement and the deceiver. Fatigue frequently triggers my rare bouts of blues.

It is as if God uses those times to post a STOP sign in my path. Rest is mandatory, not a luxury. In times of blues, discouragement dogs me. Is what I’m doing making a significant difference? I know too well the cunning of the deceiver; he never misses a trick.

I do not miss the timing of God’s message from today’s quiet time. Am I blue? No, I’m blessed.

“Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; LORD, they walk in the light of Your presence. They rejoice in Your name all day long, and they are exalted by Your righteousness. For You are their magnificent strength; by Your favor our horn is exalted. Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel (Psalm 89:15-18 HCS).”
