Psalm 118:24 states unequivocally that "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." This is a day created by God. Therefore is must have in it much that He has created specifically for you.
In this verse, and even throughout the entire chapter, the covenant name of the Lord is used. In other words, this day was created by the God who keeps His covenant with His people. That is why it is a day for rejoicing -whatever is happening in your today. Be thankful for His covenant and how He is caring for you today.
If it is a tough day, God is keeping His promise to protect you in it. If you have failed today, be thankful for God's promise in I John 1:9 to which He will be faithful to forgive you. If you are searching, be thankful that He will keep His covenant to "show you great and mighty things which you do not know" when you seek Him. (Jeremiah 33:3). If you need wisdom, then be thankful that God is faithful to His promise to give it to you liberally in James 1:5.
Most of be thankful today that God has a plan for you that He is working out in you whatever is happening today. Philippians 1:6 makes it clear that "He who began a good work in you WILL BE FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE IT..." Rejoice in the Lord today because He has designed a day in which He will faithfully grow you, forgive you, bless you, guide you, provide for you, protect you etc. because has by His own covenant to you designed to day to do that for you.
God is an awesome God. His mercy and grace is beyond description. This is the day the covenant keeping God has made; rejoice and be glad in it for you have much to be glad for today.
