This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
“This” day—the one we are experiencing right now—is full of the blessings and manifested promises of God. Sure, there are challenges, but God is right there with us in the midst of them. We spend a lot of time in the past or worrying about the future.
Stop looking back at yesterday and wasting energy over things you cannot change. You can’t live your life looking in the rear view mirror. Quit stressing over the uncertainty of tomorrow. God made this day—TODAY—so appreciate it. Notice the beauty in this day. There is an anointing for this day. Choose to rejoice; your will is involved. And that’s where we have to see our responsibility in how we respond to each day.
Our will expresses our desire, our consent, our capability, our determination, and our persistence. (There’s no doubt that I am going to do it because “will” is used, not “might.”) My will indicates my determination to do something and includes my passion for seeing it through. It demonstrates my power to choose.
