“This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:2424This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage,
and He shall strengthen thine heart;
wait, I say, on the Lord.”
Psalm 27:1414Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. (Psalm 27:14)
“His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him.”
Lamentations 3:22-2422It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. (Lamentations 3:22‑24)
One morning Daddy went downstairs to tell his three-year-old son that it was time to get up. His small son sleepily replied, “But I got up yesterday!” We may smile at this remark, but don’t we sometimes feel this way, too? Some days we forget — or weary in remembering — that our purpose here is to live each day for the Lord and not (as the world tells us) for ourselves. We all have some days or circumstances we don’t want to face. We may be physically or emotionally worn out before we even get out of bed. If we remember that each day is the Lord’s, that He allows the circumstances, and that we face them with His strength, leaning on His promises, how different the day can be! How much happier we will be as well.
