Rejoice in the Lord

Rejoice in the Lord at all times. Be content in all circumstances. In times of silence do not fear, do not question, do not doubt. In his perfect love you are kept safe and in his love there is no fear. His love is pure, perfect and true and it drives out fear.

Do not get disappointed when things don’t go your way. Rest in the peace he gives you, and walk in the anointing you have received. For until things go your way, they’re not your way, they’re His. His way refines you. His way draws you closer to him. Your hope is in HIM, not your circumstances, not in things that are seen. Can the mind of man perceive his thoughts and know his ways? It is by him we cry out “Abba father” and the Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are his children.

Plan for interruptions. Expect disappointments. When things aren’t going as planned and when trials come, fix your eyes on Messiah, the author and perfecter of your faith. Walk in the faith he has built up you. Walk not by sight, not by feelings, not by circumstances. For the heart is deceitful above all things. And he is the one who is Faithful and True. Faithful in rewarding those who diligently seek him. For the things he promises will certainly come and not delay.

He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion for he is not a man that he should lie nor a son of man that he should change his mind.

All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. When his promises are fulfilled give thanks to him and rejoice in him. For he is your shield and your very great reward!
