YAY!

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.
– Psalm 118:22-24

I can reference a million songs here, but I’ll only quote 4 to save time J
One
Good Christian men rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Two
This is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Three
Rejoice, come and lift your hands and 
Raise your voice, He is worthy of our praise
Rejoice, sing of mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
Four
Rejoice, Rejoice Sing with the angel voices. 
Rejoice, Rejoice All Heaven and earth .

I actually borrowed this from another source because it is good  . . .
This Psalm was originally attributed to the ordination of David as king of Israel.
David was the king that was rejected by men, but David instituted a time of peace and prosperity that Israel had not known before.
This was a time of celebration, but this Psalm also points to another King that was rejected and has now become the capstone, or the stone that becomes the reference for the rest of the building.
Jesus Christ was rejected by men, but now Jesus offers us peace and prosperity in ways that we could never create for ourselves.
God has done something marvelous, and in doing so, allows us to say, “This is the day the LORD has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.”


Have a blessed day!
