Psalm 119:18 ESV
Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
A recent study in Cosmopolitan magazine states that the average person does not crack a smile until after 11:00 in the morning. This study goes on by giving five ways to improve your Monday morning smile probability. http://www.cosmopolitan.com/advice/health/make-monday-mornings-less-depressing
- Grab a cup of coffee and hang with only positive people.
- Watch funny YouTube videos.
- Go to the gym prior to work.
- Morning communication and romance with your spouse prior to work.
- Indulge in a good breakfast prior to work.
At this time I would like to add a sixth way to improve you smile probability on a Monday morning.
6. Be in God's word before going to work on a Monday morning.
Psalm 19:18 tells us that God's Word provides us wonderful things when we read them, study them and live them out. Brothers and Sisters, Psalm 119 is all about God's Word and its effect on our lives and how they can help us find His direction for our lives. The eighteenth verse is all about how we ask God to place His direction in our lives and leads us into falling in love with the Word of God.
Beloved, my prayer for you today is that you dive into God's word prior to going to work and school and activities. Only by knowing God's path for your life and your Monday mornings can we truly be the confident and early Monday morning smiling people that He wants us to be.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
