“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

David, the author of the Psalms, sums up the Lordship of God in this verse. He recognizes that God is the author of all creation, and yes the author of our lives. But even deeper, he recognizes that each day is a day that God has laid before us. Indeed, this new day may be filled with laughter or with tears, with heartache or with possibilities, but whatever comes does not really matter for it all pales in comparison to the glory of God. That is why David can say in the second part of the verse,

“We WILL Rejoice And Be Glad In It!”

Each day you rise from bed can and should be a day of rejoicing. Jesus himself said, “I have come that you would have life and have it abundantly.” With that kind of support from our Heavenly Father there is good reason to rejoice.
