This IS The Day

“This is the day the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
(Psalm 118:24)
We should rejoice,
but instead, we complain,
especially about the weather.
We should be glad,
but instead, we are dismayed, displeased.

Today – the sun is shining, the skies are blue.
But for many days past,
skies have been cloudy, dark,
winter has left its mark.

We can be dismal
when the weather is good
We can be cheerful
when the weather is bad

We let our circumstances
control our feelings
and we forget
this day – each day
is created by the Lord.
We have failed to give Him
His due – our thankfulness.

This IS the Day the Lord has created.
Yesterday too, tomorrow as well.
We WILL rejoice
We WILL be glad

 For without This Day, 
where would you be?
Who would you be?
Would you be at all?
