Psalm 118:24

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

NLT:  This is the day the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Philippians 3:13-14

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.  But one thing I do:  Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

NLT:  No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing:  Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.  I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Hebrews 3:13

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

NLT:  You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.
