Do you wake up feeling like a victim of circumstances, or do you recognize your power to shape the day ahead? Pastor Dorrell confronts the tendency to surrender our joy to external conditions—weather, setbacks, and disappointments—and argues that Psalm 118:24 reveals a biblical truth: we possess agency over our perspective and response. Drawing on Paul's example in Philippians 4:8, the sermon demonstrates how intentional meditation on what is true, lovely, and praiseworthy becomes the material with which we construct our days. Rather than passive resignation, we are called to active participation in God's kingdom through deliberate choice. Will you commit today to building your day through gratitude, perspective, and the defiant joy that honors God?
