A couple of Bible verses from Psalms 118 and a short commentary to start out our day:

Psalms 118: 24 -- “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Verse 24:  Commentary:  “There are days when the last thing we want to do is rejoice. Our mood is down, our situation out of hand, our sorrow or guilt overwhelming. We can relate to the writers of the psalms who often felt this way. But no matter how low the psalmists got, they were always honest with God about how they felt. And as they talked to God, their prayers ended in praise. When you don’t feel like rejoicing, tell God how you truly feel. You will find that God will give you a reason to rejoice.”
