It's You again God,

Thank You that even in the midst of difficult days, You are there! This morning I woke, remembering the song we used to sing years ago, based on Psalm 118:24:

This is the day
This is the day
That the LORD has made;
That the LORD has made;
We will rejoice
We will rejoice
And be glad in it
And be glad in it

Thank You for reminding me that whatever my circumstances, I have great reason to rejoice! I will make these other verses from Psalm 118 my prayer this morning:

"Swing wide, you gates of righteousness, and let me pass through, and I will enter into your presence to worship only you. I have found the gateway to God, the pathway to his presence for all his lovers. I will offer all my loving praise to you, and I thank you so much for answering my prayer and bringing me salvation! The very stone the masons rejected as flawed has turned out to be the most important capstone of the arch, holding up the very house of God. The Lord himself is the one who has done this, and it's so amazing, so marvelous to see! This is the very day of the Lord that brings gladness and joy, filling our hearts with glee. O God, please come and save us again; bring us your breakthrough-victory! Blessed is this one who comes to us, the sent one of the Lord. And from within the temple we cry, "We bless you!" For the Lord our God has brought us his glory-light. I offer him my life in joyous sacrifice. Tied tightly to your altar I will bring you praise. For you are the God of my life and I lift you high, exalting you to the highest place.

So let's keep on giving our thanks to God, for he is so good! His constant, tender love lasts forever!"
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118:19-29‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Amen.
