JoyRejoice Always in Him
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
· · ·
Paul's command to rejoice, repeated for emphasis, isn't based on circumstances but on our relationship with the Lord.
True joy flows from knowing Christ, not from favorable conditions. Paul wrote this from prison, demonstrating that joy is a choice rooted in faith rather than a feeling dependent on comfort. The proximity of the Lord's return intensifies our joy—we rejoice not only in present grace but in future glory.
For Today
Choose joy today by focusing on who Christ is and what He has done, rather than on your current circumstances.
Prayer
Lord, teach us to rejoice always in You, regardless of our circumstances. Fill our hearts with Your joy that transcends understanding. Amen.
