Today is the day the Lord has planned…

Ps 117-118 To You Alone We Give Glory!

Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm in the psalter and it is filled with praise for the Father Almighty. The psalmist reminds us that we are to Praise the Lord, Applaud the Lord, and Extol the Lord. Psalm 118 which follows is also a psalm of praise. Psalm 118:24 “This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

How often do we find that our frail humanness rises to the surface in how we think or respond?  However, if we were to pause to truly think about our day and who God is, we would be drawn back to this truth: “Truly I am God, I have no peer, I am God and there is none like me.  Yes, I have decreed, yes, I will bring it to pass; I have formulated a plan, yes, I will carry it out.” [Is 46:9-10]

Stop and praise God for today is exactly what He has ordered just for you.
