Rejoicing

“That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:26).

“Rejoicing in hope” (Romans 12:12).

Through Christ and that mighty work of Calvary, we have so much to rejoice in today. Stop and go over some of those precious truths and you will be filled with the joy of the Lord and a worshipful response.

• Ponder His glorious person.

• Reflect on the merits of His precious blood.

• Consider the import of the cross and the far-reaching blessing it has had and will have.

• Think of the Lord Jesus now risen and seated at God’s right hand in heaven.

• Bask in the sunshine of His love.

• Meditate on the time when we will be with Him for that great wedding day. “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready” (Revelation 19:7).

• “Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord” (Philippians 3:1).
