Hooray, today is the day!

Every New Year's Eve since I was a little girl, I've loved our tradition at church of each person pulling out a personal scripture "resolution" card. It's a little card with a Bible verse that then stays with you all year.

I was reminded recently of the verse I drew for this year, 2022: "This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24, NKJV)

As this year has progressed, I've realized more and more what a gift this scripture is. It means we have the opportunity to rejoice EVERY DAY of our lives! Psalm 118:24 isn't just for the last or first day of the year or the best or worst day. It's for now, for July 27, 2022! :-)

Consider this for a moment: your thoughts or worries haven't created one single day of your life. The person who may be making your life difficult right now hasn't either, nor has any bad news sovereignly created one day—not even one minute!

Each day has been made by the Lord Himself—including today! God has made this day, and He alone has ALL power! Therefore…you may rejoice because HE says so!

"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4, NKJV)

This is what God desires for your life! You have permission to rejoice and be glad! :-)

I invite you to say this verse aloud today, adding your own name! "This is the day the LORD has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24, NKJV)!

You are a miracle!
