Psalms 118:24 NLT “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
I love this verse; I know I use it often, and here’s why. “This is the day the Lord has made.” He made it and is wanting to share it with you. You woke up to a new day and a clean slate. You have fresh air to breathe! You aren’t living in a battleground, well, at least not one with live ammunition going off in the background as the normal sounds of your day. We are blessed by being able to hear the birds still singing in the trees, the neighborhood dogs barking messages to each other, cars off in the distance, planes flying overhead, and somewhere a familiar train whistle blows. The simple sounds of nature and life.
“We will be glad and rejoice in it.” It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily grind, the have to do’s, the I don’t want to do’s, and the I’m tired of doings… I have to fight them over and over just like you but if I can find that one thing to rejoice over! I can turn my negative into a positive.
For example, I’m on watering duty this week. My husband has his shop full of teeny tiny seedlings…everywhere! This is a passion for him, this is a chore for me!!! However, I am in for full sun this afternoon. Yay I shall roll the one cart outside for watering and sun. I will throw open all the shop doors so the sun shines in there as I water and spray those babies growing in designated spots and incubators.
See, I just turned a negative into a positive; I think I will also fire up the earbuds, crank up some Zach Williams and try not to embarrass myself by serenading the neighbors with my praise and dancing as I water!!!
Be blessed, and I hope for you a smile today…as always, thank you for joining me. You are a blessing. 🥰❤️☀️
