Pleasing to God~

"This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."  The Bible is full of instruction on living.  Often we will read a verse like this and  skim over it ~ this verse doesn't say; if life is good and all is well, rejoice. But, often times, this is how we choose to have this verse function in our life. There are times when the road we're on is difficult at best, but we choose to rejoice only because we are operating in faith, trusting in God and His Word, that all things work together for good.  We may not see the good in our situation, but we press on choosing to rejoice. As we rejoice, we are walking by faith and not by sight. This is pleasing to God, because, without Faith it is impossible to please God. And isn't this what it's all about, living a life pleasing to our God.
