day 909: Tuesdays

“And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day.”

Tuesdays are interesting days.  In fact, Tuesday is the day that doesn’t have much to mark it in the week. Sunday is the first day of the week.  Monday is the first day of the workweek.  Wednesday marks the middle of the week and the hump day of work.  Thursday is the day before the end of the workweek and begins a feeling that the end is near.  Friday is the end of the workweek and Saturday is the first day of the weekend and then we start all over again.  But what is Tuesday?  Actually Tuesday is a great day to get things done.  It’s a great day to set meetings because Monday is out of the way and if someone is going to travel they may not go out on the road until mid-week.  I read a research report once that said that 10:30AM on Tuesday morning may be the best time of the week to gain someone’s attention for an interview of sale presentation.  Today is Tuesday, so let’s see how productive we can make it this week!

As believers we can use Tuesday as an ongoing marking day for us.  Tuesday is the “Third day” of the week.  Part of our Christian life is recognizing that for God there is great and significant symbolism of the third day.  So, for nothing else, let’s take the productivity that may be natural on Tuesdays in our workweek and use this day to focus on the glory of the third day and let’s triple down with our efforts to live and work for the glory of Him as our purpose.  What can we do today differently to be a magnifying reflection of Jesus?  Let the “third day’ be His day in your life!
