Joy at anytime

Another post of #Thirty-three (original at 12/2011)

This {is} the day {which} the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be gald in it.” – Psalms 118:24

 

We tend to thank God for good days. As we read this verse in one of these days we find it quite applicable to the moment. But there are bad days, and this verse does not limit anytime, whether good or bad day.

There are several reasons that a day could be bad – because things did not work, because we got bad news, because we had a disagreement with someone, etc. This, however, does not nullify the fact that we are alive, and if so is, given moments of grace even if we don’t realize it.

If we start the day knowing that God did it, and allow us to live it, our perspective is always positive, even though the day may be bad. And that doesn't means  being with a smile on your face always - that is false joy, or joy of facade, whatever you like more - it just means that we are grateful to God, even though the sad circumstances of life.

Grace teaches us to see a little flower rising, even amid the debris of a gigantic war.
