There are days when the last thing we want to do is rejoice. Sometimes we feel things are out of hand, sometimes we feel flat, or are discouraged. The writer of this psalm obviously felt like that on some days and he too was a person of God, a person of faith. However , as the psalmist talked to God in prayer, his psalm always ended in praise.
Be honest with God. If you don't feel like rejoicing, say so and it can almost be guaranteed that you will end up with praise on your lips before the day is ended. God has given us this day to live and to serve him. Be glad in it.
A new day. New needs. New mercies.
One faithful, loving caring God in the midst of it all.(Lessin)
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ
Anne, servant of the Lord.
