Associate Pastor for Church in Society

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

When our traveling team was in Kenya in February the Presbyterian Church of East Africa sang this Psalm to the YouTube tune embeded above. The Kenyans sang this Psalm with this tune in a variety of settings such as worship services, before committee meetings, before meals. We five travelers all came home singing it. It is not in our hymnbook, but other settings of it are there. The Sunday after we returned we were chatting in coffee hour and this Psalm tune came up as one of the wonderful things (among many others) that we missed about Kenya.

So, if this Monday Morning Connection is to connect with you I invite to you, listen to it now, if you haven’t done so already.

Holy God, especially when days are melancholy to tragic we find it hard to affirm that you have made each day. May the affirmation of the psalmist be our affirmation today. This IS the day which you have made. Amen.
