The Lord’s Day

This is the day the LORD has made; 

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Before I leave the house in the mornings, I brush my teeth using my electric toothbrush. It is programmed to stay on for two minutes so that I brush adequately. I found a song which I sing in my head that helps me finish brushing and singing at about the same time. Then, of course, that song is stuck in my head for the rest of the day. 

What is the song? It’s not the ABCs or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, although those are popular for this kind of thing. It is Psalm 118:24. I learned it when I was probably 9 or 10 years old. 

This is the day, 

this is the day 

that the Lord has made, 

that the Lord has made. 

I will rejoice, 

I will rejoice 

and be glad in it, 

and be glad in it. 

This is the day that the Lord has made. 

I will rejoice and be glad in it. 

This is the day, 

this is the day 

that the Lord has made. 

It’s true. This IS the day the Lord has made. He has made all of them. It only stands to reason that we should praise Him for it. And He is the reason to be joyful. 

So today as you face various difficulties, remember whose day it is and thank Him for it. He loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. 

Lord, thank you for today. Help us to please you in it.
