This is the day the Lord has made.
Psalm 118:24
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Some days are exciting from the moment you wake up. You’re excited about the planned adventure, the day off work, or expected company. Some days are just regular get up and go kind of days. Then there are the days full of challenges from the time you open your eyes – right? On those days, I often find myself singing or reciting this verse over and over. I find it an uplifting reminder that I can still rejoice despite the challenges because God made the day – which in turn reminds me that He has a purpose for it and me. It takes my eyes off the challenges and places them squarely on Him, His goodness to give me life and breath, His promise to direct my path, His call on believers to count it all joy when troubles come our way and the hope that comes from knowing if He can make the day He can certainly help me through it. I should note that this verse is a good way to start every day – I just find the Spirit brings it to mind most often on the more challenging/difficult days.
Your Turn:
I also find that it is a rather easy verse to memorize – give it a try. I promise it will be a blessing.
Name something about this day for which you are thankful.
