REJOICE, THIS IS THE DAY

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

The Lord (Adonai – the Creator) has made every day. Whatever transpires for us in this day, God has already painted it for us before we were born; before He created the universe. Our lives are like a great canvas on which God the Father has blended the yellows of joy; the greens of growth and learning; the blues of melancholy; the reds of excitement; the grays of disappointment and the blacks of sorrow. Remember, while in the throes of this life, “In its time God makes all things beautiful” (Eccl.3:11). So we can rejoice and be glad in this day. In eternity we can look back at God’s painting of our days and say with Him, “It was good” (Gen.1:31), because He is the Sovereign God, “Adonai” and He does all things well;” and He is a good God and causes all things to turn out for our good if we fit into His plan (Ps.100:5; Rom.8:28).

One Day At A Time
Marijohn Wilkin & Kris Kristofferson

I'm only human; I'm just a man
Help me believe in what I could be and all that I am
Show me the stairway
I have to climb
Lord, for my sake
Teach me to take
One day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you
Give me the strength to do everything that I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine
Help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time.

Could you remember
When you walked among men
Jesus, you know when you're looking below
It's worse now than then
Pushin' and shovin' crowd in your mind
Lord for my sake
Teach me to take
One day at a time
