EVERY DAY CAN BE A DAY TO REJOICE
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. – Psalms 118:24
It is good to know that every day is a gift from the Lord and we are to rejoice and be glad. Because every day is “this day,” we can choose to be glad, and consider that even if “our glass is just half full,” the full half matters more than the empty half.
For the optimistic person, it is natural to rejoice without a special reason and not get upset over every little issue. Instead, for the pessimistic person, it is normal to worry, be frustrated and fearful, and any little problem they encounter is a serious matter. But, it is possible for us to choose to be glad, when naturally we would be sad. Even if it requires effort on our part, it is worth the while to be glad.
God created us to be joyful, cheerful and content. Stress, fatigue, fears, worries and all negative feelings come from the evil one with the purpose to destroy us. We do ourselves a great favor when we choose to be glad and joyful as often as possible.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for creating joy and laughter! Please help us observe what is good in every situation and find the positive side of everything we have to go through.
Please help us choose to rejoice in all You have done and continue to do for us and keep a content heart, even when we have to go through hardships. Thank You for being with us and accompanying us on this walk of life Glory and honor to Your Holy Name. Amen
