* This is the Day

This is the day the Lord has made;
Psalm 118:24a NKJV

It was a rough night and an even rougher morning. One with more questions than answers; more angst than peace; more melancholy than joy. I wasn't seeking the questions, angst or melancholy, but neither was I seeking the answers, the peace or the joy.

Until a dear friend spoke Truth. "All I know is - this is the day the Lord has made and He has a plan for me and for my life in this day." A word fitly spoken (Proverbs 25:11); arrows that pierce me deeply (Psalm 38:2a) ...rightly dividing the word of Truth (2nd Timothy 2:15).

And as those Words of life sat and resonated in my heart and in my mind, I stopped grousing and asked forgiveness and then prayed. Thank You, Father, for the Truth of Your Word in Hebrews 4:12, For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Truly, this IS the day the Lord has made. Will you CHOOSE to rejoice and be glad in it?

Prayer:

Father,
           Help us to win the battle of choosing this day. Choosing what YOU have planned. Choosing what YOU have created. Choosing YOUR plan and walking in it. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen
