Scripture: Psalm 118:24
This is the day the LORD acted; we will rejoice and celebrate in it!
Thought for the Day: It is Sunday, and this is the day the LORD acted. I believe most folks know this verse as the LORD made, but the Hebrew word can be translated in a dozen or so ways. At first, I didn’t like the word acted. The poetry didn’t feel right to me, yet as I reflected on it more and more, I liked the invitation to live in the moment, to live today. It doesn’t suggest that God acted yesterday or will act tomorrow, though it does not eliminate the possibility. My prayer for you this day is simple: that you go beyond declaring this day as a day the LORD made, and experience God acting in this very moment.
Prayer: I wish to live a life of celebration, a life that rejoices in you, O Lord. May all my senses be made available to your presence at work in this day. Amen.
SEE YOU IN WORSHIP
