THIS IS THE DAY

This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it (Psalms 118:24).

If 1 is awful and 10 is fantastic, on a scale of 1 to 10, how are you feeling today?

It is at least an implication, if not a direct command, of this text to find something in each day to rejoice about. Learning to rejoice in difficult circumstances is a skill not taught in public schools, or any other school* for that matter, yet it is a basic skill for success in life. Check out the biographies of successful people and see if that is not the case. It should be taught across the curriculum. I can see it now, a unit of "Rejoicing in Physics."

Our prayer request for each day should be, "Help me to see the good in this day."

Grace&Peace,
Tom

*Once in a while Sunday schools touch on it.
