This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
I am sitting in my office gazing out at yet another cold rainy day in the Midwest. I have a full day of writing ahead of me leaving me little time to play.
One of my assignments for today is writing a post for the Woman’s Day Happiness Blog, and truthfully, my level of happiness is feeling a little less than inspiring at the moment.
Wait a minute! It’s not about me. It’s not about the weather. It’s not about my circumstances. Let’s take a look at a few more verses from Psalm 118.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever.
Let those who fear the LORD say: “His love endures forever.”
In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and He answered by setting me free.
The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
The LORD is with me; He is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation
You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 118:1,4-8,14, 28-29
Praise God! I do have many reasons to rejoice and be glad! I have many reasons to give thanks and be happy!
