Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Scripture: Psalm 118:24 (ESV)  
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Reflection:

Each day is a precious gift from God, a new opportunity to experience His love, mercy, and guidance. Often, we find ourselves caught up in the worries and demands of daily life, forgetting to pause and appreciate the beauty and blessings that surround us. Psalm 118:24 reminds us to shift our focus, to rejoice and be glad in each day the Lord has crafted specifically for us.

When we embrace each day with gratitude and trust in God’s perfect plan, we open our hearts to His peace and joy. The challenges and trials we face are not signs of God's absence but opportunities for us to grow in faith and resilience. Our Father knows best, and His wisdom surpasses our understanding. He orchestrates every detail of our lives with purpose and love.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of this day. Help us to rejoice and be glad in it, trusting that You have crafted it with love and wisdom. Teach us to see Your hand in every moment and to find joy in Your presence, no matter the circumstances. Strengthen our faith, and remind us that You know best. Guide us to live each day with gratitude and trust in Your perfect plan. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thought for the Day:

Today, let’s choose to trust in God’s plan and rejoice in His blessings. Each moment is an opportunity to experience His love and share it with others.
