²²The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. ²³This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. ²⁴This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:22-24

This is the day the Lord made. What will my response be to this day? Will I rejoice in it? Will I be glad in this day, no matter what it brings?

As I read this verse again, I notice something I’ve missed before. These verses are prophetic, they point to Jesus. He is the stone the builder’s rejected — mentioned in the New Testament no less than five times. When I rejoice in the day the Lord made, I am rejoicing in the fulfillment of God’s plan to build his kingdom on the cornerstone of Jesus’ life.

Truly, this is a good day! One that deserves our praise! Today, the 10,000 reasons to bless the Lord include rejoicing for this day — the one he has made!
