And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?” Exodus 2:13
Why? Wasn't Monday a good enough reason? Oh, wait, that doesn't quite work, does it? As we have come to celebrate the Sabbath on Sundays, the first day of the work week is therefore on Monday, but for the Hebrews of back in the day it was not so. With my point ruined, I guess we'll just have to call it a day.
It is muggy this morning in spite of the cooler early temps near the autumnal equinox, but that also is no excuse to be striking one another. We worship our Lord every day, and His command to love one another does not stop on Monday morning. Yes, in some jobs, companies, or other work positions it may be a severe temptation to start a Monday that way. Perhaps it is a specific person that is the greatest temptation to strike a person on a Monday? Sorry, not a good enough reason to stop loving one another. As I like to remind myself often, Jesus did not give us a list of exceptions right after His command to love one another.
May God lead us into peace and love, one with another!
