Psalm 118:22-24� The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.� This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
This scripture is referring to Christ. He was the stone that was rejected. Though rejected, He became the most important piece, the capstone. That is a phenomenal thing. How often does the thing rejected become of greatest importance? That is something that is marvelous. The day that happened is one about which I can rejoice-the day that Christ became the capstone, the most important piece in my life. Though not rejected at His birth by the shepherds or later by the kings, Herod started right off trying to destroy Christ. That was certainly an act of rejecting Him as King of Kings! Do I reject Him by ignoring His word or His leading? Christ at birth was in God�s plan as the capstone for me to be assured of a life of peace in the midst of a sinful world and an eternity in heaven as an ultimate escape from a sinful world. I rejoice and am glad and am ready to celebrate that day on which my Savior was born. The Lord�s plan for my salvation certainly was marvelous.

For your plan I praise you, Lord. In this day I rejoice and marvel because of your goodness. I am glad in this day because my life is built on Christ!
