“This is the day that the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  Psalm 118:24

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is to come, today is now!  So let’s do just as the Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 4:4,
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say rejoice.”  

Are those of you whose heart is heavy?  With all that is goi9ng on in the world it is hard not to have a heavy heart.  But yes, God has made provision for this.  He has given us,
“…the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…”  Isaiah 61:3

Today are you standing between two thieves -- guilt and/or regret of yesterday and fear of tomorrow? This is not the place of a child of God.
Neither thief has the right to steal the peace that Christ has given to the believer.  As for yesterday take whatever is concerning your heart to the throne of grace and let the Lord minister His cleansing forgiveness and righteousness.
1 John 1:9 says that,
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Then as with Paul,
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”  
Philippians 3:14

As for tomorrow’s fears and anxieties, Jesus in Matthew 6:34 says,
“Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow, will care for itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Could it be that most, if not all, those fears never come to pass?  So why waste the joy of today?  Ever if they should happen, God is in control.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”  Romans 8:28

We belong to a good God who loves us beyond measure and who has provided for all our needs.  How can we not rejoice in this day that He has so graciously given us?  Let the peace of Christ fill your heart so that it overflows  and splashes joy on all those around you.  
Thank you Lord.  Amen
