Notice in Psalm 118 that the rejoicing comes before the gladness. The rejoicing is in God making the day, not in our finding something to be glad about. That might seem insignificant, but it says everything. Sometimes we think we can't be happy...until something happens that evokes that feeling. But the gift of the day itself is enough to make us happy. The trick is in seeing it. And the ability to see it lies in hope.

I like this. It is on my calendar this month. This is the day that the Lord has made.....
God is good.
I am tired and off to bed. I had a good visit with my boys but now I'm soooooo tired.
God bless you all with a peaceful night and I pray you awake with the Joy of the morning and continue happy and at peace throughout the day. I love you all!!
I have heard that message preached about rejoicing when there seems to be nothing to rejoice about..so hard! I know God is God and our salvation should be more than enough to rejoice about...daily.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good visit. I miss my grands so much. I hope I get to see Nick on his birthday..he will be 21..time flies!
I heard a good message on the joy comes in the morning. Each morning we can awaken with the joy God sends for that day, however we may not choose that joy as a companion that day
