For Rejoicing!

Psalms 118:23-25 says  ²³ This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see.²⁴ This is the day the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it.  ²⁵ Please, Lord, please save us.  Please, Lord, please give us success.

or try this translation (MSG) This is God's work. We rub our eyes—we can hardly believe it! This is the very day God acted— let's celebrate and be festive! Salvation now, God. Salvation now!  Oh yes, God—a free and full life!

No matter how you slice this scripture up.....THIS DAY JAN 2, 2012 is GOD's doing!  If you wanna blame or praise somebody.....MAKE IT HIM!  Satan can't create...all he can do is attempt to:

                                        1) discourage you!
                                        2)  and distract you!

The psalmist knew this.....but he chose optimism!  He focused on WHAT IS IT THAT THE LORD IS DOING, and once HE SAW IT...he said it was wonderful, and let's rejoice!  Enjoy today, whether you are at work, or at home.  Enjoy the portion of health you have, enjoy conversation or time with a dear friend...heck...actually spend some time with GOD (you can't go wrong there!).   Now for those of you have a propensity to gravitate to pessimism look....the psalmist even recognized their need of GOD to save them.....recognize GOD is there, here to save you from yourself!  Stop asking CALGON to take it away, and recognize JESUS already did, on the cross!

Now here's your challenge for toDAY:  Go without saying ONE COMPLAINT!  If you do...repent of it and get back on the tracks of this wonderful day HE has created for you!  and remember......LGLP!
