Rejoice!

Look at what Paul tells us:

Philippians 4:4 

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

There are days where rejoicing is easy to do and then there are days where it is very difficult to rejoice due to circumstances in life but Paul tells us to rejoice ALWAYS!!!! We may think well Paul must have had an easy life to say such a thing. HA! Far from it. Matter of fact as He wrote this we are told he was in prison! Paul had been beaten many times even to the point of death. Paul had been ship wrecked. Paul had been arrested several times. As far as society was concerned it seems not many folks liked Paul. BUT Paul says rejoice! Why?

Our rejoicing is not tied to our current circumstance! Look again at the verse....Paul says Rejoice always IN THE LORD. That is the key! We rejoice because we are in Jesus! He saved us, He redeemed us, He loves us, He is never gonna leave us, and one day soon He is coming back for us!!!! This is why we rejoice always!!!! Then we tell others why we rejoice!

So brothers and sisters rejoice in the Lord for He is good!
