| “For you make me glad by your deeds, O Lord; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.” |
| —---Scripture Reference--- |
We have a wide range of words to express our emotions: happy, sad, disappointed, tearful, gloomy, joyful, glad, to name just a few. The word “glad” is a particularly interesting word. The dictionary offers these synonyms as definitions: pleased, delighted.
We may think of glad as a somewhat reduced sense of happiness. But actually, glad is the sense that all is well, we are secure, our hearts are uplifted.
Psalm 92 is a song written for the Sabbath Day. Speaking to God and about God, It contains many uplifting and joyful words, including these found in Psalm 92:4:
For you make me glad by your deeds, O Lord; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
When we look around us and see the hand of God at work in our lives, and in the lives of others, the very natural response we feel is gladness. So, as we begin a new day, let’s keep an eye out for the very things that show us God is at work. Then, we can make our response one of gladness. Certainly that will set our day on the right pathway.
