Yesterday has gone!
"This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24 NKJV
You may try to live in the past; many try it and, many fail. It just can't be done. You can hear a song on the radio, which takes you back over the years to what was a happy time or, a sad time. Music has a habit of doing that, the same as special places or even special days. You may choose to re-live that memory but, let's face it, they're empty dreams - the house is empty and the people have moved away, type of thing.
The Word clearly says, ''This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it' Note the phrase, 'we will rejoice and be glad in it.' That is a declaration. The Psalmist knew that yesterday could not be incorporated in today and so, he wrote it firmly. Yesterday may have been happy - but sadly it has come to an end. It is over. Yesterday may have been sad - it has gone, the only one who is keeping the pain going, is you. You have a future or the chance to remain in the past, it is your choice, no one else's.

Always look at the bright side of life
Proverbs 17:22 NKJV
Many things in life, rob us of the joy that God has placed in our hearts but, if we can look at them differently, things look just that little bit better, hence the title of the song. Just a few examples can be:
(1) You wake up late for work. First thought PANIC! Alternate thought, 'Well, I needed the sleep'
(2) You run out of petrol. First thought Again PANIC! Alternate thought, at least there's a petrol station just up the road.
(3) You get drenched walking to the garage. Alternate thought, at least I am alive and wet through.
(4) You're snowed in and can't get to the shops. Alternate thought, thank goodness, I have food in the freezer.
There are many examples you could add to this list I am sure, The thing is, looking at things from the other side - the alternate view, you can turn something from a negative to a positive and this is important for survival of your nervous system. Viewing things in this way, also bring a kind of joy, it's almost like you are saying, 'Oh well, I'm sure we'll manage, it may not be ideal but at least it is helpful.'
God wants us looking on the bright side of life (Phil 4:8) and we can see Jesus in this verse.. Now look at Nehemiah 8:10 and you'll see why, 'Do no sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.' For our survival in the Christian world, we need strength and the joy of the Lord, gives us this. Also walking in the armour of God (Ephesians 6) is essential.
Therefore, we need to be dressed properly, we need to be strong and joyful, using this to look at alternate ways to survive, so that we can shout out, 'Always look on the bright side of life.' So why not put it into action, today!
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
