Everyone has a story. Watch yours. Psalms 118 24. This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad. This is the day that the Lord has made. You shall rejoice and be glad in it. What a powerful scripture. What a powerful message for someone today.

Just think about it. I will rejoice and be glad. No matter what you're facing today, be glad. I know that things are not always pleasant or bad things happen to good people, but we still must trust God in all things and be glad. We're not only to rejoice when things are going well, but also when times are bad.

Even when the enemy is trying to destroy us, we shall rejoice and be glad. A friendly reminder for you today. You may be facing the toughest of times right now, but the truth is he's still giving us breath for today and for that you should be grateful and thankful.

For you see, he didn't have to wake you up this morning, but he did. Some days are harder than others. Sometimes the way seems dark and dim, but remember if you have the faith in God, the sun S-U-N will shine again. Maybe on some day we start to lose our focus and forget our calling. We want to do the right thing, yet our hearts are far away. We go through struggles and feel like God's not listening. We want to trust God and live for him, yet our time in his word seems minimal and too many distractions get in our way of our prayers. But as believers, we know that our lives are hidden with Christ in God and because of that, every day is his day.

He is gracious and compassionate. Know that he breathes his purpose and light through the sunrise of each new morning. No matter what you're up against today, be confident in God's unchanging love for you always. And it is written, this is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad. Have a good day. What's yours? This is the Truth Network.
