“Whatever happens my dear brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord.” Philippians 3:1
When bad things happen in our lives, we all try hard to find peace and rest. Some will look to alcohol, others to drugs and still others will look to the occult. We are all looking for something. What we find depends on what we are seeking. When we seek Jesus, we are seeking the one and only person who can truly deliver the peace and rest that we are trying to find. Philippians 3:8 tells us,” I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” Rejoicing in the Lord means there is a new song in our hearts- the song of the those who are redeemed- that the anxieties of this life cannot drown out. When we rejoice in the Lord, we are actively experiencing the redemption. Through Jesus we have been saved and delivered from our sins and their consequences. Knowing Christ is far more important and valuable than anything else in the world. When we develop our relationship with Jesus, we find that when we carry out our daily activities, He is with us. He is beside us when we go to work, go to a game or when we are making important decisions in our lives. He makes our lives fuller and more meaningful. He gives us more depth in the way we think and the actions we take. He is always there to take our questions and give us answers. We become more joyful and loving to others. Knowing Jesus is priceless. He is eternal life. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
