Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you - 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
The will of God in Christ Jesus for us is to rejoice always in all situations. Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls - Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation - Habakkuk 3:17-18. A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones - Proverbs 17:22.
Jeremiah found strength and joy in the Word of God. Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart - Jeremiah 15:16. I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure - Psalm 119:162. You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound - Psalm 4:7.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us do Your will by rejoicing always irrespective of our situations. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
