Verse(s): “This is the day that the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24
Reflection: No matter how bad a day looks, no matter what obstacles are seemingly in our way, today is a gift from God. It is His creation and that deserves rejoicing. Often, it is easy to focus on the negatives, especially in our ministry. It easy to say, “I didn’t stop a car today” or “I wasn’t able to get anyone to dialogue with me” and only see the negative. However, each day brings new opportunities to love and serve the Lord. Each day even brings its own challenges and opportunities — and let us rejoice in that. Keep in mind that every day you are affecting hearts and minds by just having a presence in your local community and making a stand for life.
Faith Challenge: Every day is a blessing, and how we choose to go about our day — both mentally and in our words and actions — either affirms or denies this. Let us all affirm that every day is a blessing with new opportunities, even if the opportunities are unseen by us. Let us rejoice and be glad in every day because every day is a day the Lord has made.
