Divide Your Day to Get the Most Out of It
Rejoice and be glad in each day that has an introduction, main part, and conclusion.
Division of Things
When it comes to dividing things, three seems to be the common number of parts. For instance, man is made up of three parts: body, soul, and spirit.
There is a three-part comparison system, such as good, better, best, or long, longer, longest. When we write a book report, essay, speech, or sermon, there should also be three distinct parts:
- the introduction (where you tell people what you are going to tell them)
- the body (where you tell them)
- the conclusion (where you tell them what you have told them)
It is no different with each day that is divided into three parts:
- morning
- noon
- night
To get the fullest enjoyment out of the day, make sure you parallel it to an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Begin to use this concept each day, and surely you will be convinced that every day is a day to rejoice and be glad in it. We might consider paydays, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other occasions to be special, but every day is a special day to God. That's because He made it and everything in it.
This Is the Day
“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 119:24)
The scripture above says God made the day for us, and we should honor the day by getting the most out of it. God expects us to receive two things out of each day: joy and gladness. God wants us to experience joy and be glad in each day He has made, and He made all of our days.
We are to rejoice no matter what is going on around us. We are to be glad in it, even though we don't understand all that is happening to and for us. When we rejoice and be glad in each day, we let God know that we are thankful for the day He has laid out for us, no matter what it may bring.
Introduction of Your Day
The introduction of any day should come early in our morning devotions. That might include reading the scriptures, praying, and praising God for a good night's sleep and for waking us up.
That is also the time to set goals for the day, including commanding the day to accomplish them.
Body or Main Part of Your Day
We should spend the main part of your day fulfilling our goals. If we have a job, we will be there for at least eight hours, in addition to the time traveling to and from our places of employment. We will attend to other duties, which might include attending meetings, raising a family, managing a household, shopping, and doing other things. Needless to say, this part of the day is when we will get most of our things done.
Conclusion of Your Day
At the conclusion of the day, let's think back and reflect on those things we accomplished. It is a good idea to keep a gratitude journal to write down things we are thankful for.
If any of our days do not have an introduction, body, or conclusion, then our days are not well spent.
- Every day is made by God.
- Each new day is a time to begin again.
- We can finish what we didn't get done yesterday.
- We can make amends for what we did wrong.
- A new day is a great time for us to do something special to make the world a better place.
- Every day is a new day to begin again.
- Let's not waste our new day!

This is a very clear and thoughtful article. I like the idea of dividing the day into introduction, body, and conclusion. It makes daily life feel more meaningful and organized. The connection with faith and gratitude is gentle and encouraging. It reminds me to value each day, not only special ones. Thank you for this simple and positive message.
