Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice! Philippains 4:4

Beloved, have you ever felt joyous and thoughts flash through your head; why am I happy and full of Joy? What’s the occasion about? As a believer saved by grace, there is every reason to rejoice- and not just rejoice, but rejoice always. This joy is not ordinary, it carries strength and ability. We don’t rejoice in our bank accounts or our relationships, it says “rejoice in the Lord”.

The greek word for “rejoice” here is the word “Chairo”, which is a verb that derives its roots from “Charis” i.e. grace. So, the reason for rejoicing, is His grace- unmerited, undeserved and unearned favour. When you realize your present position couldn’t have been by your own strength or ability, joy should fill your heart. Even though where you are now in the physical, is not where you would want to be.

Beloved, this joy strengthens, it gives one the ability to move forward and achieve great things. Are you delighting yourself in the Lord? This is what you ought to do at all times- always and continually. Let the Joy of His grace fill your heart and mind. Think, meditate and act on this virtue and you will consistently accomplish greater things.

Prayer: My Daddy God, the joy of Your grace fills my heart. I delight myself in Your grace.
