REJOICE ..... ALWAYS
Rejoice is pretty easy to comprehend when things are rolling along well. Doing good in your job, relationships are harmoneous, able to go out with friends for pleasant dinner. BUT what about this ALWAYS aspect???
Things are not always pleasant there are difficulties in life. Pandemics, addictions, deaths, arguments, unintentional mistakes, anger, speeding tickets and on and on. Maybe more days are filled more with such events than events of Joy ..... the saying "life is not for the weak at heart" has some bearing.
But for those who surrender to Christ's Ways (Mt. 11:28-30) there is a difference.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Philippians 4:4-8
