CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The other morning, Slappy at The Project started the morning off saying, “It’s a good day.” Regardless of the weather and our circumstances, he reiterated that it was going to be a good day. YHC believed him and started thinking about that statement.

The following day, after having coffee with a friend who was struggling, YHC repeated. “It’s a good day.” Said friend agreed with a certain amount of determination. “It is a good day.”

Philippians 4:4-7 says…

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

“Rejoice” is not just an internal sentimental feeling. The word actually indicates a public or outward celebration.

YHC would have loved to write the “Southern Translation” of the Bible if someone hadn’t already beaten YHC to the punch. It’s difficult to tell second person plural from second person singular in English; (i.e. you from you all) without the very important and completely legitimate word “ya’ll”. It’s nearly as important as the Oxford Comma in the opinion of YHC. In the Greek, Paul means “y’all” in this paragraph when he says, “you”.

Paul is saying, “Let y’all’s gentleness be evident to all” and “will guard y’all’s hearts and y’all’s minds in Christ Jesus.

This means that your outward celebration and your visible attitude does 3 things.

  1. It changes your attitude.
  2. It’s contagious.
  3. It affects the environment of the entire group.

We should be the kind of person that is always celebrating, always reassuring, always positive. It’s a good day. Especially when we have hope in the Lord who “is near”. Each of us should be challenged to be a more positive influence to our Ms, 2.0s, PAX, colleagues, communities, etc.

It’s a good day!
