"Today is the day for joy, not tomorrow or the day after that or next week. Too often our joy is based on what we hope tomorrow will bring because we don't like what today holds. Oh, there may be nothing terribly wrong with today, but the humdrum routine is wearing, and we are convinced that the next thing on the horizon might spice things up a bit. . . if we cannot-will not-rejoice in today, we are rejecting God's providence. It means that we believe we have better ideas for today than God's plan. It means we don't trust. It means we are rebels. Since everything about our today is "ordered in all things and secure" (2 Samuel 23:5) by our kind , generous, loving God, then no matter what it holds we have cause for rejoicing. . . "

"This is the day that the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Today, dear ones, may you rejoice in your day as you thank your loving, Heavenly Father for His providential, ordered, and secure plan for it!!!
