Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day today. Cool breeze, mild temp. Not bad for June. Why is it that days like today get our attention? Would I say it was a beautiful day if it were raining cats and dogs? What if it were miserably hot and humid? Would that still constitute as a beautiful day? "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Ps. 118:24) Ever wonder what the weather was like on the day David penned that? Maybe it wasn't perfect and he decided to worship anyway. If you look at all of chapter 18, it's a psalm of thanksgiving. It was a day of victory. Maybe it's just me but that would mean that there had been some difficult days preceding the victory. Days of intense battle. Days of fatigue. We've all had those days. Regardless of the circumstances, may I have the spirit of David and say Today is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice...worship...praise...sing...and be glad...thankful...happy...blessed in it.
