Happy Days…

Posted on by admin

Psalm 118:24 “This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be happy in it.”

If we create something, we like to think that whoever receives it will enjoy it. This is not always the case. There is nothing gloomier than getting an ungrateful response from someone. The gift had no fault but the recipient did. Today’s verse shows us how we should receive the gift of time that God gives us.

Everybody has 365 days a year and God creates each one. No matter what day it is, as born again believers, we have an escape to the suffering and struggles that others accept. We decide exactly how we will live each day. My decision is always: “As for me and my house we will rejoice and be happy 365 days a year.”

Now I know you want days filled with happiness and rejoicing as well. The fact is that they are not difficult to create. Simply ensure that you follow Psalm 118’s two instructions:

  1. Acknowledge that God has made this day
  2. Make a firm decision to rejoice and be happy in it

Before you know it life will turn around. The mountains of discontent and worry that stood before you will come down. The light of a brand new day will flood your soul. You will begin to experience future and hope like never before. When this happens let others know that these happy days can be theirs as well, just like they are yours.

Desperately Seeking You…

1 Corinthians 12:26 “The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every OTHER part, …If one part hurts, every OTHER part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every OTHER part enters into the exuberance.” [MSG]

Today’s verse gives us a timely reminder that, in the body of Christ, we desperately need each OTHER. God’s design is that we depend on our brothers and sisters in Christ during both the good and bad times. Your future is dependent on OTHER healthy and functioning parts of Christ’s Church assisting you, as we need each other.

Now here’s the key. The parts of the body that are hurting must in due course get healed and whole. This is accomplished as OTHERS get involved and help us to get fit again. Healing can feel painful at times but when it occurs every part of the body flourishes again and we all enter into celebration as one.

So why keep yourself healthy in God’s Word? Why take good care of yourself Spirit, Soul and Body? The answer is simple: The healthier you are, the healthier OTHERS around you will be. This will cause a healthier, happier stronger church. We each affect OTHERS in Christ’s Body, so let’s always make sure we are not hurting OTHERS but helping them.
