TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Give honor to the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness." (Psalm 29:2 NLT).
TODAY'S WORD , all through the scripture we are told to rejoice in the Lord always. It's interesting that the word "rejoice" doesn't just mean to be vocal and to give God praise with our words. Rejoice also means "to brighten up," "to spin around," and "to leap for joy." In other words, you rejoice with your actions. You rejoice with your countenance. Do you realize you can rejoice by simply putting a smile on your face? When times are tough, when things aren't going as planned, many people have a long, sour face. They're down, discouraged, worried, and upset. But when you choose to rejoice, you smile and have a pleasant demeanor no matter what. And it's not because you necessarily feel like it or because everything is perfect. You just simply smile by faith. You smile knowing that your expression is saying to God, "I trust You. I know you are working all things out for my good." Make the decision today and every day to rejoice in the Lord! Put a smile on your face and let the whole world know your hope is in the Lord and He is the one you worship! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father God, I choose to rejoice in You. I know that Your goodness goes way beyond my difficulty. I know that even when I don't see a way, You are making a way for me. Fill me with Your supernatural peace and joy as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
