Rejoice
This is the day the LORD has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 20:5
Rejoice=giyl =to leap for joy, to rejoice, to spin round, to be glad or joyful.
Rejoicing is an active word. It doesn’t mean to smile and say “I’m so happy”.
It means to outwardly show your joy by leaping and spinning.
Rejoicing doesn’t happen inwardly where no one can see it, it happens outwardly for all to see.
We often quote this verse, but do so in a fairly noncommittal and monotone voice.
This is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
When in reality, it calls for some excitement.
This is a new day.
We are alive!
The sun is shining and the day is full of possibility.
That calls for some shouting and leaping, don’t you think?
Don’t get caught up in the same ole, same ole.
Get excited about the day ahead of you and see how it changes your perspective on things!
