“Rejoice in the LORD always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” Philippians 4:4, NIV.
This is a short scripture, but it packs a lot of power. Sometimes, things may not fall in place. Someone else may get the promotion. You may feel like you let God down. However, what does the Lord say you must do: Rejoice in the Lord always!
There’s no middle ground with God regarding when to rejoice. There’s no room given to any time when things get so tough that the Father says you don’t have to do it this time. The decision to rejoice is at all times. Therefore, when you’ve obeyed God and when you’ve missed it. When you have too much to spend and when you don’t. When all is well with your marriage, or you’re on the couch for a moment. He tells us to rejoice always because circumstances may change, yet your God and His outcome, His overcoming power in your life remains the same. His love remains the same.
To rejoice is not a decision to be religious, it is a powerful decision to believe that whatever you go through, God is on your side, therefore, you can rejoice!
Prayer: Father, I thank You for another day–a good day. No matter what I face today, I will rejoice! I worship You not an outcome. Help me LORD to always rejoice. Help me not to worry, get angry, or be fearful, but to know You never leave my side, therefore, I can always give You praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
