When lounging in a tropical paradise, closing an advantageous business deal, receiving an A on an exam, or welcoming your first child into the world, it's easy to affirm, 'This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it' (Psalm 118:24, NKJV). But what about the other days? Days when traffic's snarled for hours, your spouse isn't speaking to you, the mortgage is late, or the doctor bears heartbreaking news. Can these be days the LORD has made? Max Lucado says 'Yes, every day.' Drawing stories from daily life and the Bible, he prescribes a formula for rejoicing in the midst of your very worst days. By saturating your day in grace, entrusting it to God's oversight, and accepting His direction (G-O-D), you can upgrade your day from shame-filled, anxious, purposeless---you name it---to blue-ribbon status.
