Today
I worked my whole life to get to today. No time like the present. Best day ever. GOD made this day, he picked this time. No other day will do.
“This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Shepherd’s Note
The psalm was written for a day of victory, and its claim is larger than any one occasion: this day, this very day, is the LORD’s work. The man in this entry looks back over a whole working life and does not call the past the prize. Today is. Every day before was preparation, and every day after is not promised, which makes the present not a waiting room but the gift itself. Rejoicing, in the psalm, is not a mood that depends on the day going well. It is a decision about whose day it is.
