“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24 (NKJV)
Devotional Moment
It’s easy to lose track of the days, especially if you’re out of your routine and staying close to home. Even if you forget today’s date, remember to praise God for making this day available.
This is the day the Lord has made, and the psalmist says your job is to rejoice, be happy and find all the good in it that you can.
God always acts on your behalf. He does something, and then He waits for you to respond to what He has done. He sent Jesus into your life to save you, and then He waited for you to accept His invitation.
He invites you to pray and waits for you to call His name. He’s there, always available to you.
God is the Creator and initiator of good and all you have to do is show up and let Him know you receive His love and mercy.
Today, let your response be one of praise, thanks and knee-slapping happiness because God has prepared great things for you.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for making this day. Let me take this day to praise You and to get things done that will serve You. You made this day to restore my soul and renew my spirit. I thank You and praise You for all You have done. Amen.
Action Step
Note in your journal three things that you will get done today. Check in the evening to see what you accomplished and thank God for making it all possible. This day has been a privilege.
