The Word That Suits: This Is The Day The Lord Has Made

Top of the morning to all those God's faithfuls who take the time to read my post, I pray the abundant blessing of the Lord on all my wonderful family members in Christ Jesus. Starting to write this post, I am a little blank on what topic to share. But the word of God which is the word of hope and comfort needs to be shared at all times, so I trust that the Lord will give me a timely word for someone needing it this day.

Psalm 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

The Bible passage above is one that is very familiar with a lot of Christians and even church goers. It is a beautiful thing to wake up in the morning and say what the psalmist said that indeed "this is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it," when all seem to be going well and one seem to be enjoying good success in all that he/she is doing.
But the truth of this two-lined passage as it is in the Bible is that the application of this passage in our lives should not be subject alone to the fact that all is well with us. Every morning when we wake up and have been given the gift to be able to see the light of day, whether we have challenges or not that day is a day worth rejoicing over.
Verse 22-23 of the same Psalm 118 says "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes." It will be a demoralizing thing to face rejection from those who are suppose to accept you, yet in the middle of that the psalmist went on to say, "This is the day the Lord has made, and it is worth rejoicing over.
The day does not necessarily have to go the way you want it, but it still the day the Lord has made and it is worth rejoicing over. You might have loads of challenges, yet it is still the Lord has made and it is worth rejoicing over.
The word rejoicing for me is the act of been joyful. And been joyful is not subject to what you are or are not going through, but that you are able to look beyond your current situation whether good or bad and then acknowledge and appreciate the awesomeness of the Almighty God Who is love and is full of power, and in Him there are no impossibilities or limitations.
When you have learned to look beyond your immediate situation, and make everyday a day to acknowledge and appreciate God and then rejoice in the knowledge of His power and might then you get your problems trouble rather than you been troubled. No wonder the psalmist said "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." The secret weapon to challenge that which is challenging your peace is to look beyond the problem and determine within you that you will make everyday a day to rejoice in the Lord. Start doing that today and it will not be long before you start to see a difference in the positive.
