Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! — Philippians 4:4
Joy is not to be discovered in situations, but really in the Lord. We tend to focus too much on the negatives, the things that aren't going to our liking at that instant, or the trials that seem impossible to overcome. But Scripture gives us another reply: "Rejoice!" Not just when everything is going well; always.
Again he repeats—"Again I will say, rejoice!" Because our joy is rooted in Christ; again, not in transient emotions. We belong unto God, secure in Him, and nothing can snatch that away.
Rejoicing is an act of faith. "I trust God more than I trust what I see," it declares. Rejoicing in the midst of hardship strengthens the heart and builds faith, with the added benefit of enjoying peace that surpasses all understanding.
