The Psalmist says it (Psalm 118:24)
This is the day that the Lord
has made;
let us rejoice and be glad
in it
and it can also read, in him.
Both are certainly true.
Yet the question becomes How. Some days don’t seem to be for rejoicing, especially when that bad news comes.
Now the Poet helps us.
Good Morning, God!
This is your day.
I am your child,
show me the way.
The question then becomes, in what "way" does God "show" us.
OK. Let’s look to the Prophet (Micah 6:8)
He has told you, O mortal
what is good;
and what does the Lord
require of you
but to do justice, and to love
kindness,
and to walk humbly with
your God?
To what end? As the old teaching goes, that we may glorify God and enjoy and serve him forever. Is that kind of Grace and Challenge enough for you?
