Today is the day

Reading: Ezekiel 25-26, Psalm 118, and Galatians 6

Scripture: Psalm 118:24, This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Thoughts: Woke up this morning, living in an RV for almost 20 months. Before I could get in the shower, I needed to swap out the propane for heat and hot water after it ran out overnight, then after getting my shower and getting dressed I had to step outside again to dump the black tank. All this before 4 AM and breakfast. Yet God still gives me the ability to laugh about this situation. God has provided for my family of four and a dog to have a roof over our head, food in our bellies, and transportation to where we need and want to go. God has blessed us so much. Our plans may have been to be in our home a year ago, but God knows what we need, knows when we need it, and has His plans for us that are better than any, we could dream up ourselves. We need to rejoice and be glad on the day the Lord made. We need to remember that Joy is not a feeling it is a choice. Happiness can come and go with your situation but when you choose to have joy and rejoice in all situations, we shine God’s involvement in our lives and others notice. Bring the Joy.

Prayer: Lord God, you are the Joy of the World. You made this day, and I thank you for it. You created all things you provide all things; I thank you for the provisions and blessings you pour out on us. I thank you for the roof over my head, for my job that provides for my family. I thank you for my family and the growth I am experiencing both as a husband and father. I thank you for growing me every day.
