THIS IS THE DAY THAT I HAVE MADE! As you rejoice in this day of life, it will yield up to you precious gifts and beneficial training. Walk with Me along the high road of thanksgiving, and you will find all the delights I have made ready for you.
To protect your thankfulness, you must remember that you reside in a fallen world, where blessings and sorrows intermingle freely. A constant focus on adversity defeats many Christians. They walk through a day that is brimming with beauty and brightness, seeing only the grayness of their thoughts. Neglecting the practice of giving thanks has darkened their minds.
How precious are My children who remember to thank Me at all times. They can walk through the darkest days with Joy in their hearts because they know that the Light of My Presence is still shining on them. Rejoice in this day that I have made, for I am your steadfast companion.
Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Michael & Alison SmithermanThe Singing NetSurfers
I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
There have been so many days in which rejoicing seemed absurd or inappropriate. To be clear, the instruction to rejoice does not apply to the negative circumstance itself, but more to the fact that God is always with us and will take any pain, any setback, any tragedy and turn it into a blessing. That is what we are truly rejoicing.
Of course, we are also to be grateful for all of God’s blessings such a faith, family and friends. However, the greatest joy for which to be thankful is that God’s shining love is always with us and will overcome any obstacle to our peace, joy and hope. And that is the central reason to rejoice and be glad for all things.
Let us rejoice,
