Two simple little words. Such an simple concept. Such a clear instruction.
How easy could it be?
Or, how had can it be?
Rejoice evermore? How do we do that when the world is a panic over a virus that no one knows anything about? How can we do that when government polices and a spirit of and anxiety have begun to create a world where nothing is getting done and we still can’t go to church and jobs are being lost and an economic crash loom and our futures, in so many ways, are so uncertain?
We can only really rejoice when we remember one thing – God is control. We also must remember that He is good and He loves us and that nothing takes Him by surprise. James says we can rejoice in trials because they grow and mature us and get rid of the impurities.
Rejoicing comes only with trusting God to work out His plan no matter what comes our way. Rejoicing comes when we see our God glorified.
Rejoicing is not about us – it is all about Him.
