Rejoice in the Lord!

I Shall Rejoice in the Lord!!

Why?

 

Psalm 64:9-10 (NIV)

All people will fear;
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what He has done.

¹⁰ The righteous will rejoice in the Lord
    and take refuge in Him;
    all the upright in heart will glory in Him!

 Philippians 4:4-5 (NIV)

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

I rejoice in the Lord for He is good and it makes my heart glad. I have come through another crisis and I am better for it. It was not easy of course but God is true to His word and worked all things for my good. I learned that I can talk things out with someone close to me and not be held captive to old patterns of thought and/or actions as before. Now I can say with a little more conviction,

 'Come what may, I will be okay for the Lord is with me!' 

I am learning to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. So let me rejoice as David did in the psalms.

 

 Psalm 104:33-34 (NIV)

I will sing to the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
³⁴ May my meditation be pleasing to Him,
    as I rejoice in the Lord.

 

I rejoice in the Lord for He is my refuge in times of trouble and despair. May my gentleness be evident to all and I shall sing of His praise for as long as I shall live.  

What do you have to rejoice in the Lord for?

 

My Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, may my meditation be pleasing to You as I rejoice in You. I give You thanks and praise for seeing me through another crisis and helping me to learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. I rejoice in You for You are good. Amen.
