Dear Ones: Great Things! He has done Great Things for us: individually, as a family, and for our nation. In troublous times, it is easy to forget the great things He has done for us in the past. The psalmist relates the time when Israel danced and sang happy songs because they were celebrating what He had done for them in the past. They found joy and strength in remembering His greatness and His kindness toward them. Even the surrounding nations, some of them were enemies, acknowledged the amazing things that the Lord had done for Israel.
In these challenging times, it is good to follow Israel’s example. Rejoice and sing happy songs as you remember His goodness and mercy that He has extended to you over your lifetime. Christians always have a reason to rejoice in their salvation through the Cross of Christ. We can rejoice in the fact that repentance has been granted to us when we miss the mark. His mercy and kindness overrides judgement when we repent and turn back to Him with a sincere heart. That is a good thing to sing about!
May you remember all of the Great Things He has done for you, your family, and our nation today. Let joy and gladness rise up in your soul so much so that you laugh. Laughter is good for you like a medicine. May songs of rejoicing fill your mind and come forth from your lips. Have a joy filled day. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
