The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part ThreeMuestra

Daily Reflection: David took the time to acknowledge the answers to prayers and the marvelous works of the Lord. He recognized what the Lord had done in his own life and encouraged others to rejoice and be glad as well. His words foretold of the one who is the foundation and cornerstone of everlasting life, the Salvation of the world. This reality would be realized in the coming of Jesus Christ – the savior of humanity. He found joy and thankfulness in both what the Lord had done “this very day” and in what the Lord would do. The Lord has done so much for us and is always worthy of our praise as we remember his sacrifice and celebrate his resurrection.

Daily Demonstration: May we “give thanks in all circumstances” (I Thessalonians 5:18) and intentionally remember all that the Lord does for us and all of his answers to our prayers. It is often easier to focus on hardships while forgetting blessings, but he is the one who gave everything for us; “let us rejoice today and be glad.”
