Scripture: Psalms 118: 24-29

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.  Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.  Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.  Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Scripture Commentary: The psalmists’ prayers often ended in rejoicing!

There are days when the last thing we want to do is rejoice.  Our mood is down, our situation is out of hand, and our sorrow or guilt is overwhelming.  We can relate to the writers of the Psalms who often felt this way.

No matter how the psalmists felt, they were always honest with God.  As as they talked to God, their prayers ended in praise.

Often we don’t feel like rejoicing.  Be sure to tell God how you truly feel.  You will find that God will give you a reason to rejoice.

God has given you this day to live and to serve Him – be glad!
