The Lord said, Tell them to rejoice!

“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” 1 Peter 4:12-13

The Lord said, “Tell them to rejoice!” I said Lord, how can I tell anyone to rejoice? Rejoice about what? So many are hurting right now. It seems like the last thing they want to do.” Then He said, “The last thing they want to do is rejoice, but rejoicing in Me is what I want them to do.” And just like that the Lord helped me understand, it’s not what we rejoice about, it’s Who we rejoice in.

My sister, you may feel as though you have nothing to rejoice about, but the truth is, you always have a reason to rejoice in the Lord. Even when your situation doesn’t feel good, and things don’t look good or the news doesn’t sound good, your Father God is good. He is true and He is faithful. Our rejoicing gives way to heartfelt worship, it gives way to sacrificial praise that brings about a breakthrough. I tell you, I’ve had to rejoice when I didn’t see any manifestation. It was an act of my faith in God.

So it is with you, my sister. Your rejoicing is an act of your faith. It puts your entire focus away from your problems and onto God. It magnifies God and brings Him on the scene.

Prayer: Father God, I rejoice in your goodness, your truth and your faithfulness. You are my mighty God! Let praise arise in me and lift all heaviness from me. Help me continue to rejoice no matter what. I know you are my God and you won’t let me down. You will do everything you’ve promised. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16; Philippians 4:4; 2 Corinthians 6:4-10

  6. Usually, when God tells me to do something that I haven’t been doing I hang my head in agreement and say OK you’re right I need to do this thing.

    But today my heart leak with Joy because I was like of course I can rejoice in who he is doing this time of mystery and uncertainty and sadness and grief because my dad is dying. And my mom’s dementia is getting worse. My sister, know of God, but they don’t know Him to be a good, good Father. So they just look at the facts of this medical diagnosis we have and see doom and gloom.
    But I will get our parents and I’m just so thankful they’re still in their own home they can walk; there’s communication sometimes limited it’s there; I was the first to move back and then the younger sister and now an older sister, so there’s three of us here to help mom and dad. Mom and dad are not hooked up to any machines in my dad had a very good job so they have good insurance and they’re about to have good healthcare people come in during the day and one of us will stay during the night. I don’t know how I’m gonna do it because a various things I have going on, but I know God will meet my needs;. God will supply, He always has and He always will. He is my good good Shepherd, who does not lie; and only knows how to give good gifts. I’m thankful I know him and then he’s revealed good things coming in my future.
    And while I’ve had to wait many months for them to come through or to manifest, I know they’re gonna happen because God does not lie

    Thank you, Keisha for writing for us to rejoice. This is just what I needed.
    My whole being felt so much better at the first reading of “rejoice in who He is”. This is not a temporary fix. This is how I live. I just need a reminder.

    Thank you, God for being so good to me I am going to go forth into these unknowns and be your Bubbling Brook today because you’re already there you’ve ordered my steps you have prepared the weight and you have equipped me to do good things. I’m praise you Jesus because of you. I’m here. I am still here and nobody would ever know all the things that I’ve happened to me because you’ve been so good to me. Thank you, Jesus!
    hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah!
