“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”
Philippians 4:4
Faith is expressed in more than belief. It is also expressed in the way we rejoice. All of us experience unpleasant mood swings. Circumstances, hormones, stress, etc all come together to create our attitudes and moods. Sometimes the mood is not pretty. What do we do when we recognize a “bad” mood in us?
If you’re in an ugly mood, perhaps you need a Faith-lift.
Our faith in Jesus Christ can change our mood. It simply requires remembering what he did for us at Calvary and then rejoicing in it.
Read Paul’s admonition again. Now begin practicing it.
Dear Father, thank you for the joy of Christ. Forgive me for those
times I have failed to use it. Empower me to be a person who
continually rejoices in Christ. In Jesus’ name, I pray. AMEN
Let us praise God for his joy and live rejoicing everyday,
Pastor Smith
