Rejoice~

"This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24


Picture, if you dare, a little girl with knee-hi socks, a Little House on the Prairie frock, pig tails, and a tambourine singing her heart out to the verse above. The entire song is repeating the verse over and over again, and it doesn't matter if you were upset when you started singing. By the time you were done you were, in fact, rejoicing in the day the Lord made. That precious child was me.

I still have that tambourine--the one that must have accompanied me to over 3000 prayer meetings, and this morning I found it. So, if your day started out rough, I want to remind you that God made the day, and it is a beautiful thing. Will you choose to be glad in it? Or will you be rude and nasty in it? Will you rejoice or will you pout?

Rejoice, I say, rejoice!!!!

PRAYER:
Dear Lord,
We love that You expect us to rejoice in our day no matter what. It doesn't say rejoice only if everything is perfect. If that were the case, we might never be glad again. But since we have faith in You, our loving Father, we know You will work it all out. Of course we will rejoice! In Jesus' name, AMEN~
