Every single day is made by the Lord. True believers cannot deny that. The Creator is the creative force that creates all things. John shared such a view about Him when he wrote by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:
He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. (John 1:3, NLT) Let's just settle on this today. God made the day and it's up to Him what He provides for us day by day.
Our obligation to the Lord is simply a two-part strategy:
We will
rejoice. We will celebrate and express to the extreme that God has made this day. We express our joy by what we say and what we do to share it with others. Yet, when we rejoice, we go back to the source of our joy, to the point where our joy was provided for us. For believers, we have to take into consideration Calvary and, of course, an empty tomb where the stone had been rolled away. We have to go back to the source of our joy in order to rejoice!!
Not only will we rejoice but we will
be glad. We have returned to the source of our joy, but we also have to get to the point where we can celebrate continually. The believer has to learn to rely upon and trust in the Lord. We have our joy and gladness because of the same God who loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son for the redemption of the world. Just with that in mind, we ought to be glad!
