the 118th Psalm remind us, " This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psa 118:24). as we rejoice in this day that the Lord has given us, let us remember that an important part of today's celebration is the time we spend celebrating others. each day provides countless opportunities to encourage others and to praise their good works. when we do, we not only spread seeds of joy and happiness, we also follow the commandments of God's Holy Word.
in his letter to Ephesians, Paul writes, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up accordingly to their needs, that is may benefit those who listen." (Eph 4:29). this passage reminds us that, as christians, we are instructed to choose our words carefully so as to build others up through wholesome, honest, encouragement. so, how can we build others up? easy, by celebrating their victories and their accomplishments. as the old saying goes, "When someone does something good, applaud-you'll make two people happy."
today, look for the good in others and celebrate the good that you find. when you do, you'll be a powerful force f encouragement in the world........and a worthy servant to your God. good day all of you !!!
