Gratitude

This is the Day

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalms 118:24

· · ·

Each day is a gift from God, deserving our rejoicing and gratitude regardless of circumstances.

The psalmist declares that this day, the one we're living right now, is made by the Lord. It's not an accident or random occurrence but a divine creation. This perspective transforms how we approach each morning. Instead of dreading what might happen, we can rejoice because God made this day with purpose. Gratitude begins when we receive each day as God's intentional gift.

Tomorrow morning, before checking your phone, declare aloud: 'This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.'

Creator God, thank You for making this day. Help me rejoice in it and be glad, seeing it as Your gift rather than my burden. Amen.
