Psalm 118:24 (NIV)
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

On Sundays a lot of people go to Church and rejoice. But what about on Monday when someone cuts you off in traffic or on Friday when your pay check is smaller than the bills that you need to pay. Circumstances of daily life can take the peace and joy from you. We do not get our strength from our circumstances, we get it from our continual access to the power and presence of God in our lives in the midst of danger or difficulty, trouble or pressure.

If you do not have that peace and joy how can you rejoice? The way to get it back is not by working on your feelings but by reviewing the truth of God's word. Go over the truth again, remind yourself of what God has declared, and what kind of a God He is and who can raise the dead to life and call into existence things that do not exist. He is able to perform what He has promised. Then your faith is restored and you can handle these circumstances that will inevitably come.
