A familiar Monday morning scene - traffic rushing by, busy schedules, places to be. As we go through our daily hustle and bustle, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and meaning in the small moments.
The song 'Monday' by Jonathan Nah beautifully captures the feeling of going through the motions of an ordinary day while longing for a deeper purpose for what we are doing. 'I'm looking for a better reason, if another state of mind,' the lyrics express. There's a hope that 'someday there will be a sign, you'll hear it on the highway or see it in the sky.'
God has given us a reminder that His divine plan is at work, even in the mundane details of daily life. The Bible tells us to 'give thanks in all circumstances' (1 Thessalonians 5:18) and 'whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord' (Colossians 3:23). We can choose an attitude of gratitude and perseverance, keeping our hope alive in God's purpose and presence each and every day.
Jonathan's two-year journey to create this song also reflects this message. His persistence mirrors the Christian call to 'run with perseverance the race marked out for us' (Hebrews 12:1). Using our talents to spread inspiration is a meaningful way to live out our purpose and make a difference to the people around us.
As we navigate our busy everyday activities, 'Monday' reminds us to look for the divine in the mundane. Remember that God's plan continues to unfold each day, even during those moments when we least expect it. Even though the path of our journey isn't always clear, we can choose faith over indifference, trusting that He will never leave us. Our calling starts here, right where we are.
With a change in mindset, the familiar and mundane suddenly seem new. Ordinary days are filled with extraordinary purpose. God is right there with us on the highway, and His signs are all around us, if we open our eyes to see them in the sky.
