This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24
Question
What is one simple, everyday blessing you can thank God for today that you may have overlooked yesterday?
Context
Psalm 118 is a psalm of victory and thanksgiving. Israel sings of God’s enduring love, His deliverance, and His faithfulness through every season. But this key verse reminds us that every day is handcrafted by God. Each one is an opportunity to rejoice, even when it feels plain, quiet, or normal.
Application
The day after Thanksgiving is a perfect test of true gratitude. Not the kind stirred by a decorated table or a large meal, but the kind anchored in God’s daily goodness. Today is another gift, another “day the Lord has made.”
As you return to errands, chores, or even Black Friday crowds, you can choose to carry the same grateful spirit you had yesterday. Gratitude becomes powerful when it’s practiced in the regular rhythms of life and on days with dirty dishes, packed schedules, or quiet moments of rest.
Let today remind you: God is just as worthy of thanksgiving on the ordinary days as He is on the holidays.
Truth For The Day
Gratitude is not tied to a season but to a Savior; therefore, every day is a day to give thanks.
Pray
Lord, thank You for another day You have created with purpose. Help me carry a grateful heart beyond the holiday and into the everyday moments. Open my eyes to the blessings that surround me, and teach me to rejoice and be glad in You, not only on special days, but in all my days. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
