Psalm 118:24 KJV
"This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."
"This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."
I woke up early today.. It so nice to behold a snowy white morning. The deer fill my yard and their footprints do too. They keep multiplying in my neighborhood because no one can kill them here in the city. Things that make you go hummmm. (Looking forward to the city of our God!)
To rejoice is to celebrate! Although 2020 has been a “walk through the wilderness”, yet it was through our wilderness experience that we understood God’s very presence. He walked with us each step of the way and patiently made clear His intentions. He embraced us through the process and taught us that He values the relationship more than our ministry. It is us that He loves and not our services nor our sacrifices!
God also desires that we be intimate with Him though our neurons may not be able to contain Him. But just to “taste and see” His goodness and to understand His heart is a reason to rejoice!
To rejoice is to delight! God desires that we take pleasure in Him for He takes pleasure in us. We have an awesome, magnificent, omnipotent and omniscient God! But this all-powerful God knows each one of us by names, knows the very numbers of our hair and loves us so much! He desires the very best for us and has a wonderful plan for our lives. Just to know and live in this truth is a reason to rejoice!
To rejoice is to be glad! Being glad is being thankful! Year after year, we have experienced God’s faithfulness to His word and His promises. He is an ever constant and never changing God! He is concern not only on the immense issues of our lives but also with the minute things that even concerns us. Do you know how many times God said “Do not be afraid!” in the Bible? 365! One for each day! Just the truth that God has given us His word and His promises to claim for each day creates in us a thankful heart that leads us to rejoice!
To rejoice is to triumph! 2 Peter 1: 3 says “His divine power has given us everything pertaining to life and godliness through our knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and goodness.” What great words to ponder and to practice! God has given us everything to succeed in this journey called life. God has given us Jesus to save us and the Holy Spirit to guide us. If we walk in stride with God’s intention for our lives, we will be victorious! To exercise this truth is another reason to rejoice!
ACTION STEP: As we journey into 2021, let us not dwell on the fears caused by the end time prophecies but to rejoice for Jesus’ soon coming! Let us continue to walk in God’s ways, stand firm on His promises, dwell in the truth that He is indeed the Owner, the Controller and the Provider of everything, and rest on His promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Therefore, like the little birds, let us wake up each day with singing in our hearts because we have every reason to rejoice for each day!
