BIBLE READING: Phil 2: 25 - 27 25 Meanwhile, I thought I should send Epaphroditus back to you. He is a true brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier. And he was your messenger to help me in my need. 26 I am sending him because he has been longing to see you, and he was very distressed that you heard he was ill. 27 And he certainly was ill; in fact, he almost died. But God had mercy on him—and also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow after another.

Spiritually! God is the same God on Monday that He is every other day of the week. God never changes so He can do nothing less than His best for you on Monday! Thank God for this!
Attitude! You will be surrounded by people with a bad Monday attitude. DON'T BELIEVE THEM FOR A SECOND! Monday is going to be a great day!
If you do these things, this Monday will be a great day where you stand out from everyone else. Don't worry, someone will notice. It's Monday after all.
PRAY: Dear Jesus, help me to be Monday, right! AMEN
