You Have
Become My Salvation
Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks
to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord through which the
righteous may enter. I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my
salvation.
The stone the builders
rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our
eyes. The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success!
Blessed is he who comes in
the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you. The Lord is God, and he has
made his light shine on us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the
altar.
You are my God, and I will
praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his
love endures forever.
Psalm 118:19-29
Each day is a new opportunity, and it will be filled
with things we cannot anticipate or even prepare for. Therefore, it is
important that we recognize our limitations and lean heavily on God –
intentionally choosing to live in His grace and strength rather than relying on
our own resources.
The newness of each day is also worth celebrating. Of
course we face daily unknowns, and some will be difficult. But the treasure of
each brand-new day is so special that Moses wrote of the importance of
numbering our days, so that we could gain a heart of wisdom.
Each new day gives us new reasons to praise the Lord.
