Rejoice And Be Glad …

February 26, 2022 by Jared and Diana Jantz

Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

I was reminded of this verse recently during the three weeks that I helped critique speeches for our Public Speaking class.  I saw the nervousness of the students making those speeches and saw the facial expression of …’I’ll be glad when this is over’ … and, if I am being honest, I think I might have felt the same way!

And again, when we were hit with an ice storm.  It took a few days to clear the sidewalks, parking lots, and roads around the school and then we were hit with five inches of snow right after that!  I don’t think Jared was rejoicing in the weather, but I know he was not complaining!

I truly believe that each day is a gift from the Lord, but do I rejoice in it; am I glad in it?  What about when things get hard or difficult?  Do I only rejoice and am glad on the “good” days?  I have learned that this attitude of rejoicing and being glad is a choice of the “will” – I will or will not rejoice – I will or will not be glad.  Oh, that I would choose more quickly to do what the Psalmist says!
