This Is The Day

As we delve into the lyrics of "This Is The Day" by Lakewood Music, we are reminded of the beautiful promise found in Psalm 118:24, "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." This verse, echoed in the chorus of the song, is a powerful reminder of God's daily renewal of grace and mercy. 

The song begins with a proclamation of hope and grace, a light that fills the sky with new mercy each day. This sentiment is mirrored in Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." The song and scripture together remind us that each day is a fresh start, a new opportunity to experience God's love and mercy. 

The lyrics also speak of a joy that overwhelms our souls, a joy that comes from knowing our God is in control. This aligns with the assurance found in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." The song and scripture together affirm that even in the midst of trials and tribulations, we can find joy in the knowledge that God is in control and working all things for our good.

The bridge of the song encourages us to leave behind what happened yesterday because today there's a new thing happening. This echoes the words of Isaiah 43:18-19, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" The song and scripture together inspire us to let go of past mistakes and failures, and to embrace the new things God is doing in our lives.

As we reflect on the lyrics of "This Is The Day" and the corresponding Bible verses, we are challenged to live each day with a sense of hope, joy, and anticipation for what God is doing in our lives. We are reminded that each day is a gift from God, filled with His mercy and grace, and an opportunity for us to experience His love and favor.

So, as we listen to this song and meditate on these scriptures, let us ask ourselves: How can we live each day with a sense of joy and anticipation for what God is doing in our lives? How can we let go of the past and embrace the new things God is doing? How can we rejoice and be glad in each day, knowing it is a gift from God? Let these questions guide our thoughts and actions as we seek to live out our faith each day.
