Some place in upper elementary school, we learned there are three main types of sentences:  declarative, question, and exclamatory.

Here is a familiar Bible verse:


"This is the day the Lord has made.

We will rejoice and be glad in it."

~ Psalm 118:24 LAB

*

'This is the day the Lord has made." Simple declarative statement. It's true.

'We will rejoice". Another simple statement. Not a command. A choice.

'Be glad in it." Another choice. A declarative statement. We are to be glad. Our choice. No matter how we 'feel'. If we have the dreams of our life; a great family; lots of money; a wonderful job, we are to 'rejoice'. If our health isn't the best; our family life is in a shambles; have had to attend one too many funerals lately; or we have made a 'major' life decision mistake, today is a new day 'which the Lord has made.'

The day has just begun. Whether we know what is going to happen the rest of day, 'we will rejoice and be glad in it.'

Yeah, God!
