"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." -- Psalm 118:24

On the night Jesus was betrayed, the Passover celebration concluded with the singing of Psalms 115-118. Yes, with only a little time remaining before his arrest, trial, and crucifixion, Jesus and his disciples sang, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Ps 118:24)

Consider that Jesus, knowing the cross that was coming, sang and rejoiced in that day his Father had made. Let us have the same attitude as Jesus. Let us rejoice and be glad in each day and for all that God has done for us.
