Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Each day is a gift from God, deserving our rejoicing and gratitude regardless of circumstances.
The psalmist declares that this day, the one we're living right now, is made by the Lord. It's not an accident or random occurrence but a divine creation. This perspective transforms how we approach each morning. Instead of dreading what might happen, we can rejoice because God made this day with purpose. Gratitude begins when we receive each day as God's intentional gift.
