REJOICE IN THE LORD!
Philippians 4:4 – Devotional
Philippians 4:4
“Always rejoice in the Lord. I repeat, rejoice in the Lord continually!”
We have far too many church members who look like they have just lost their last friend. They not only have sour expressions on their faces, they have sour personalities to match.
Paul repeatedly urges his readers to rejoice. The word he uses for rejoice is the Greek word chaírō. It is pronounced khah’-ee-ro, and it means to be joyous and happy. That means looking like you are happy. If you have the joy of Jesus in your heart, you need to let your face know about it and show it!
For those who have never placed their trust in Jesus Christ as the Lord of their life, there is little or nothing to be happy about. The things of this earth grow dimmer and dimmer as life slips away.
As true believers who have passed from death to eternal life by confessing we are sinners and accepting the blood of Jesus to pay the price for our sin, we are able to rejoice. The things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
