Rejoice

"Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand" (Philippians 4:4, 5 KJV). Rejoice in the Lord with all your heart and soul. Let all men know you are alive and Christ is living in you. Paul might of been in prison, but that did not stop him from praising God or writing to the church about the joy of the Lord. When one has the joy of the Lord, though all things may look like they are falling apart, that individual knows that it is just for a moment because Christ has everything under His control. The Word of God says the joy of the Lord is our strength. This joy that is spoken about is not the joy of getting a brand new car or being blessed with thousands of dollars. It is the awesome fact that Jesus is on our side, in the midst of our troubles, and that He will take care of everything. "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation" (Isaiah 12:3 KJV). The well that we draw water from is the Lord, and in our trials we will praise Him with joy, for He is our Source and Life through it all. Give Him praise! God bless you. Amen
