Start Your Day Rejoicing

     We used to worship with a song with these words, Rejoice for the steps of a righteous man are ordered of God. That was taken from Psalm 37:23 which says--The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his way.

     What we need to understand is that each day brings a new trial. And each new trial is not meant to destroy us. Each new trial we face is an opportunity for God to prove us as one of His children whom He delights in. And each new trial we face is an opportunity for God to prove to us and the world that He is indeed Lord God Almighty.

     Daniel in the lion's den didn't prove how mean the king or the people were as much as it proved Daniel's faith in God. The end result was that Daniel proved God's word to be greater than anything that the king would put him through.

     The same could be said of the three Hebrew children. The fiery furnace was designed to destroy them. Instead it exalted the Lord God Almighty and God's men were promoted.

     So face this day and every other day with a sense of joy that whatever comes your way, God is going to prove you as His child and prove to the world that His Word is true.

     Let's rejoice and enjoy what God has ordained this day to bring to us.
