(Philippians 4:4)….Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! At least five times the Bible tells the people of God to rejoice in the Lord. We may not be not find ourselves wanting to do so, because of something going on in our life at the time. We may not even want to rejoice because we change all the time (Meaning we change due to the emotions we are experiencing moment to moment). But the Lord is different! God is dependable! God is faithful. God is honest. God is good. God is patient. God is kind. God is understanding. God is merciful and gracious. I am so glad that the Lord is consistent in His love for us, in His rejoicing over us.
(Malachi 3:60…..“For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
In this world we can lose our joy quickly if we get our eyes, mind, ears, and hearts off of the Lord, and get turned away from God to the things around us. But be glad that He never changes in His thoughts and love of you.
But with a true understanding of what God is really like, we cannot help but rejoice because of His goodness and greatness. If you are not sure what God is really like, then look at Jesus Christ in the pages of the Four Gospels in the New Testament. Jesus Christ perfectly revealed to us what God is like. And He will show you once more His commitment and love for you that is in Him, and you will once again rejoice.
