#1,042: Rejoice At All Times
Manage episode 429618969 series 2800784
Anyone can rejoice when life is good, but to rejoice when life is hard is a deliberate act of faith. You are deciding that your trust and confidence in God are not circumstantial. Your faith is rooted in the character of God.
Main Points:
1. The word "rejoice" means to feel or show great joy or delight. In fact, the word “rejoice” is found in the Bible 154 times. That is a lot of rejoicing.
2. The Bible says we are to rejoice in God’s goodness. We rejoice over God’s strength. We rejoice in his deliverance. We rejoice in his salvation. As for when we are to rejoice, Psalm 89 says we rejoice in God’s name all day long. Philippians 4 says we are to rejoice in the Lord always.
3. The reason we can rejoice at all times is because of the object of our rejoicing. Paul says we are to “rejoice in the Lord.” We don’t just rejoice. We don’t just celebrate. We don’t just throw a party. We have a reason to rejoice. We rejoice in the Lord.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Habakkuk 3:17-18 - “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
