Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
St. Paul reminds us, as he did the Philippians, to rejoice in the Lord always! St. Paul endured trial after trial; yet, he continued to stand fast and rejoiced in the Lord.
Think for just a moment about the problems you have encountered through life. Did God not see you through them all? Was He not with you? Those problems are now nothing more than a memory. Rejoice then that any trials and tribulations you may be encountering today will also pass for God is with you through every trial and tribulation. Continue on in the way of the Lord. "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:6-7)
Trust in the Lord, in times that appear good and those times that seem bad. Focus on the fact that he loves you so much that he was willing to die for you. Rejoice, for the God of all creation is for you and not against you.
God's Peace - Pr. J
