“This Is The Day God Made!”
“The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad. ~Psalms 118:24 NIV
Every day is a new day which has been given to each of us by our Heavenly Father, God our Creator. What a beautiful gift. A new day to behold His creation, to enjoy loved ones in our lives, to praise and worship God in the morning, the afternoon and the evening. Truly, let us rejoice and be glad for all God has done for us, will do through us and who will walk beside us daily. Praise be to God!
How do we serve God in our lives? We can turn to Scripture to find out. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. Let’s start by reading these chapters: Psalms 113 - 118, yes it’s going to take a minute. Psalms 113-118 comprise a wonderful 6 psalm praise to God called the “Egyptian Hallel” (Hallel meaning praise in the Hebrew.) These 6 psalms were sung during the main Jewish holidays, Passover, Pentecost and the Feast of the Tabernacles. Traditionally, Psalms 113 and 114 were sung before the Passover meal and Psalms 115 through 118 afterwards, reflecting on their deliverance from Egypt. Psalm 118 was most likely sung by Jesus Christ Himself and the disciples before they left the upper room in Jerusalem the night He was betrayed.
The two challenges to joy are adversity and ingratitude. It takes a choice to rejoice; I WILL be glad and rejoice in it! Circumstances don’t determine joy, it comes from the Lord, in spite of circumstances.
“It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow... Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.”~Robert J. Hastings
“You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
~ Psalms 118:28-29 NIV
Amen…
