Retool!

Hebrews 13: 5
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.

I found the most amazing information, shared by one of the most renowned Christian Clinical Psychologists in the country.
Monday mornings are the most highly stress filled days of the work week. Imagine that??

175 men and women took part in a study, and the highest blood pressures recorded, were on, you guessed it, Monday mornings.
Actually, the study concluded that there are 20% more fatal heart attacks on Monday’s, compared to any other day of the week.

So why would that be? Didn’t we get to take time to rest on the weekend? Or were we too busy spending our money?
Unfortunately, most people according to this study, don’t take a long enough break in the hectic weekend schedule.

It appears today, that many followers of Christ, are near or at burn out status.
Some of the most well assuming church goers, don’t have what it takes to get through the weekend, without being damaged.

So why do we intentionally allow this vicious cycle to repeat itself?
Maybe this study, reveals a lot about who we really are?

The study suggests that most people are not at all content.
They might think they are, but the facts speak pretty loudly for them self.

Starting the work week can be a jarring experience for some.
So then I wonder if we really believe the words… “I will never leave you nor forsake you”?

Maybe we need to retool after all…
