This is the day that the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it. You do not have to be happy that everything is "just the way you want it"; you are reminding yourself that this is not your home. Everything you see is temporary so do not grow too attached to the way things are now, they will not stay this way long. Because the Lord's return can happen any minute, make sure that you are about His business. You will be glad you rejoiced when you see Him.

Jesus told His disciples what was going to happen to Him before His crucifixion. They heard His words but did not believe or understand how His death would occur or why. After His resurrection they saw Him but still could not believe that what they saw was "real." In today's activities believe God's promises to you from His word, or from a sermon you heard or a song that you know God was speaking to you through. Believe! Trust and do not let the circumstances around you keep you from believing that God knew where you would be today and prepared you to stand victorious in what might even look like a total loss.

Let it be said of you that "You believed and did not doubt the promises or prophecies that have been given to you to bring glory to your risen Savior!!!!!
