“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Philippians 4:4
Christmas week is finally here! Rejoice! The bible says, ‘Rejoice in the Lord always.’ In every situation, we can learn to rejoice in the Lord. Always means at all times, on every occasion, and in all circumstances. Even in these challenging times, let us learn to rejoice and celebrate God’s love and gift to humanity.
Rejoice in our ups and downs. In the toughest of times, let us try to focus on God’s promises and wear a smile. We can rejoice because God takes care of us. There are a few things we can do to remind ourselves to ‘rejoice in the Lord’.
First: is to be grateful. Gratefulness keeps us grounded in that which we have, and we can be thankful for the many things we might have taken for granted. We can be grateful to God for His protection, His saving grace, His love, kindness, and so much more.
