I slept in a little bit today and listened to the rain hitting against the window. I just laid there trying to think of what all might need to be done and then I remembered this verse from Psalm 118:24 “This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” What a good thought. I really don’t have any agenda for today but if I did, this should still be on my list. And it should be right at the top. I will rejoice in this day and be glad in it for I know that God loves me and has blessed me in so many wonderful ways; a wonderful wife, fantastic kids and grandkids, great friends and good work to do. I will rejoice in this day and be glad in it.

I hope that you are able to rejoice in your day. Even if there are some difficult things going on, I pray that you will know that God is with you. I pray that you know that He will strengthen you and provide for you. I pray that He will help you, even in the midst of difficult times to rejoice in those moments of comfort and relief that He provides. I pray that God will help you to be able to rejoice in some manner in this day.

Until next time stay strong in the faith,
Pastor Phillip Stephens
