This Is the Day
Psalm 118:24 Amplified
This is the day that the Lord has made—
Not a random tick upon a timeline,
Not just another sunrise, another climb,
But a deliberate gift from His hand,
A fresh territory in His good land.
This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24, AMP)
Be joyous—for this is not a command to fake a happy face,
But an invitation to draw from His deep well of grace.
The joy of the Lord is your strength, your shield, your song.
It does not depend on circumstances going right or wrong.
It is the deep, abiding knowledge that He holds this day,
That He has gone before you, that He prepares the way.
So let joy rise like incense, let gladness be your tone,
For you do not face this day alone—you never face it alone.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4, AMP)
Be grateful—let thanksgiving be the door through which you enter.
Let gratitude be the posture of your heart at the center.
For gratitude shifts the gaze from what is lacking to what is given,
From the temporary trials to the eternal leaven.
Thank Him for breath, for hope, for mercy new each morning.
Thank Him for His patience, for His gentle, loving forming.
A grateful heart is like fertile soil where seeds of peace take root.
So let thanksgiving rise from you—a never-ending fruit.
In every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God. (1 Thessalonians 5:18, AMP)
Be prosperous—not as the world defines its fleeting wealth,
But prosperous in spirit, in soul, in mental health.
Prosperous in wisdom, in kindness, in the fruit the Spirit grows.
Prosperous in love that overflows to friends and to your foes.
The Lord delights to prosper you in ways that truly last—
In character, in purpose, in freedom from the past.
For if He gave His Son, will He not also give
All things pertaining to the life that's truly His to live?
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and that your body may keep well, even as I know your soul keeps well and prospers. (3 John 1:2, AMP)
So this is the day. Receive it from His hand.
A gift, a trust, a stepping stone into the promised land.
Be joyous—for He is good. Be grateful—for He gives.
Be prosperous—in the deep life that in His presence lives.
This is the day the Lord has made.
I will rejoice. I will be glad.
I will give thanks. I will receive
The fullness only He can give—
And in His grace, I will believe.
Amen.
