Thank you, ladies, for coming to the Boyd Branch Café last week! We had a good turnout and a good time with the Lord and with each other. Thank you for your input on the mighty name of Jesus! It is truly power! Without Jesus’ name, our prayers are powerless.
This is your daily blessing!
This is the day the LORD has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
When you are having one of those difficult days – when the storm is blowing and the battle is raging, when the burdens are heavy, when your heart is broken and your tears are flowing, when it feels like everybody is turned against you, including your Heavenly Father – that’s the time to heed this verse by faith.
The psalmist was going through battles and difficulties, yet he was able to say, “If God put this day together. I’m going to rejoice and be glad in it. Even though I may not see the blessing now, eventually – by faith – I’ll be able to say it all worked together for good.”
Jews sing this psalm at Passover, Jesus also sang this song before he was crucified. Can you imagine saying, on your way to Calvary, “This is the day which the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it!”
That’s another way of saying, “Not my will, but Your will be done.” If Jesus sang this song, we should sing it also. Perhaps your day is full of overwhelming burdens or sorrows. Jesus also suffered days like that. Accept the day God has given you and acknowledge that He is in charge. Anticipate what God is going to do for you today, rejoice and be glad in it.
You may not understand His purpose now, but one day you will.
Be Blessed!
