Rejoice! (# 85)

 “I will rejoice in You

And all the miracles You do;

I know Your promises are true,

Almighty King.”

The song, “Rejoice” by Kerina Hall

These words from my soon-to be-released reggae single are an encouragement to us to celebrate the joy which knowing Jesus brings.

This, I know, is difficult in these trying times in which we live.  As we view the happenings in our world today, we may be filled with despair at the suffering, fear and disasters – economic and otherwise.

Also, we may experience distress on a personal level.  But if we are honest, there are some blessings we have experienced and continue to experience from day to day.  These are minor miracles; examples of God’s tender care extended to us, our friends, families and loved ones.

Often, these are things we take for granted; ordinary things, such as good relationships with others, success in an exam, a tree planted which has borne fruit, etc.

The Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:4 encourages us to rejoice at all times.

It is helpful to note that the Book of Philippians, from which this verse is taken, was written when Paul was imprisoned.  However, despite his incarceration, in his mind he was free and full of joy. 

This undoubtedly was the result of a loving relationship with his Saviour Jesus Christ.
