A Time to Rejoice

‘I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.’  
(Psalm 146:2)

We cannot manufacture joy or simply decide to be joyful.
It does not come from within us, but from something or someone beyond us.
Christian people are able to be joyful in a special way, since the cause
of our greatest joy is God himself, who he is and what he has done and is doing.
I love seeing trees and flowers and when I do, I praise the Lord for the wonder of his creation.
I love to think about who God is, the fact that he has revealed himself to us in his word,
the glory of his justice and his love, the joy at the thought of being with him forever,
and especially the grace he showed in our salvation through Jesus.
There is so much to praise him for; so much to rejoice about. I will praise the Lord all my life.

Question for thought:  Do I rejoice in the Lord?

Almighty God, we give thanks for the opportunity to pray for our members across the world.
We are humbled when we think of the struggles and opposition to many experiences.
Thank you for their faithfulness and steadfastness and for the love and care thy share in your Name
with their communities. May your Spirit equip them for every good work for your glory.  Amen
