Good Morning! Be encouraged today, rejoice always!
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalm 118:23
God commands us to rejoice. Rejoicing is important because it is a way to lift our eyes to heaven and set our minds on things above. Rejoicing in all things helps us to keep our mind on God. Rejoicing in affliction reminds us that God causes all things to work together for the greatest good - to make us more like Christ. Rejoicing helps prevent us from grumbling and complaining. If you are struggling to rejoice in the Lord always, pray, meditate on the Word of God and let His word shape the way you see Him and process life.
Morning Prayer. Father God, we thank you for you are our source of joy and delight. Help us to always rejoice and give thanks no matter what we encounter in this dark and evil world. Therefore, we choose this morning to rejoice and give thanks in all things and move forward in the joy and strength of the Lord. Amen.
