Mercurial Monday!

Mercurial Monday! More often than not Monday's are one of the most somber and unpredictable days of the week for most people. The mindset of many people on Monday is "back to the grind," "back to the slave," or "back to that damn job!" But, I liken Monday's to meeting new people for the first time--you need to break the ice! Our Monday's and any day for that matter can be more marvelous if we break the ice when we are feeling down. Starting one's day with prayer is a great way to break the ice of a mercurial outlook. When we acknowledge the One who is the author of life--we begin to see a rapid change in our demeanor that is very consistent when align ourselves with The Creator. When we look at Jesus and all the prophets (PBUT) we see them not relying on the ice breakers of this world. They never missed a beat when it came to acknowledging The Master Creator. So, don't let the low valleys of this world get you down just remember that there is an ice breaker who is marvelous all day every day 24/7/365 and his name is God!

Scriptural Footnotes:

Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. (Duet 4:39 NIV)

"Be still, and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalt...ed in the earth." The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah (Ps 146: 10-11 NIV)

Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (1 John 4:3 NIV)

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24 NIV)

Allah (God) amplifies and straightens the means of subsistence for whom He pleases; and they rejoice in this world's life, and this world's life is nothing compared with the hereafter but a temporary enjoyment. (Holy Qu'ran 13:26)

Our Lord! make not our hearts to deviate after Thou hast guided us aright, and grant us from Thee mercy; surely Thou art the most liberal Giver. Our Lord! surely Thou art the Gatherer of men on a day about which there is no doubt; surely Allah (God) will not fail (His) promise. (Holy Qu'ran 3:8-9)
