“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24
I celebrated my 21st birthday in quarantine. Everything had just shut down and everyone had to social distance. Needless to say, that celebration looked very different from the others. It was just me, my twin sister, and our parents, trying to make the most out of the stuck-at-home celebration. However, this verse was freshly written in our living room and the first thing I saw that morning.
This is the day.
The Lord made this day.
Rejoice.
Don’t just rejoice, but be glad in this day.
It’s easier said than done to enter a month surrounded by Thanksgiving and have gratitude. We are all facing different challenges and struggles day in and day out. It’s hard to see the good in our day. It’s hard to see the small blessings throughout the minutes and seconds. But these things don’t change the fact that God made this day. He made it. Every second, every minute, every hour – God made it. Every single detail in your day – no matter how frustrating – God beautifully weaved together for His good. Once you change your focus to that truth and fact, you see your day differently and the gratitude is far sweeter to grasp.
Today, choose to rejoice and be glad in your day. God made this day for you, don’t waste it not praising Him for what He did for you.
“Come on, my soul, oh, don’t you get shy on me. Lift up your song, ‘cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs, get up and praise the Lord
So I throw up my hands, praise You again and again. ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah. And I know it’s not much, but I’ve nothing else fit for a King. Except for a heart singing hallelujah, hallelujah.” – Gratitude, Brandon Lakes

She was born and raised in a Christian home and spent her days as a little girl singing songs, playing around on the piano, and drawing with her crayons. After years of hardships and trials, Chloee found escape in her music and writing her own lyrics. She pursued a Worship Leader certificate at Bethel Music’s Worship School. When she completed her course, she led worship with her sister, Aliseea, at a small youth group they were both currently serving in. After they both stepped down from that role and during 2020’s pandemic, Chloee started her own podcast called W.O.W and small business, Simply by Chloee Jean. She now finds joy in speaking God’s Word, singing about it occasionally with her sister, and creating digital designs to point others back to God and His Word. When Chloee isn’t designing or podcasting, she spends quality time with her family by having game nights, a movie marathon, or even jamming out to some worship songs.
