Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest! Matthew 21:9
The stone
which the builders rejected Has become the chief
cornerstone This was the LORD'S
doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.This is the
day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:22-24
The last words of this psalm are: we will rejoice and be glad in it. As God's people, we are to be glad and rejoice. Read and consider the calls to rejoice in the psalms:
Psalm 9:2 I will be glad and
rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most
High.
Psalm 31:7 I will be glad
and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my
trouble; You have known my soul in
adversities,
Psalm 32:11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
Psalm 40:16 Let all
those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as
love Your salvation say continually, "The LORD be magnified!"
Psalm 48:11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of
Judah be glad, Because of Your judgments.
Psalm 68:3 But let the righteous be glad; Let them
rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice
exceedingly.
Psalm 70:4 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in
You; And let those who love Your salvation say
continually, "Let God be magnified!"
David often used the words I will. Rejoicing and gladness is a choice. Rejoicing and gladness is visible to others. Notice the reasons for rejoicing (I underlined them). What do you reserve your rejoicing for? That's just a question to challenge us. Please feel free to post whatever spoke to you about the day the Lord made to declare His Son as king.
