Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice. Humanly speaking sometimes you may not see what there is to rejoice about especially if you are hurting, discouraged, in pain, sick, in challenging situation or there is a mountain before you that seems insurmountable. Worse still, people around you in such moments of pain may hurt you more, be insensitive, unhelpful or unavailable:they may simply not meet your expectations and you feel vulnerable and alone!
But the good news is you are never alone even in such times. You have a God who never sleeps nor slumbers, and unlike human beings, He never fails and He never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever and He has promised not to leave us or forsake us but to be with us till the end of time. Thus, His presence and power is always in and with you even when you do not feel it.
So be glad that the one who is in you is greater than the temporal challenges you are experiencing and His Joy NOT your negativity or tears is going to be your strength in such difficult moments. Therefore, rejoice amidst the pain and challenges and you are sure to experience His strength-a way out. Cheers!
