This is It!

Psalm 118 is part of a familiar song we used to sing at church.

This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

You’ve only been given today.  In fact, the  Bible says in the Lord’s Prayer to petition only for this day “Give us this day our daily bread.”

It’s hard to rejoice in yesterday’s disappointment, and in tomorrow’s maybe’s.

But today, the day we are currently living, is here.  It’s present.  The people we’re around are alive and real.  We are breathing and moving. 

And we are told to rejoice in this day.

We are to be glad about this day.

What are you rejoicing in today?  Only focus on what’s in front of your face now – the coffee cup that is full, the car that is running, the child that hugged your neck, the pretty outfit you’re wearing, the grass that you need to mow, and all that surrounds you.

This is the day to rejoice.  So do it.
