1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice always

You may be asking yourself how you could ever rejoice when bad things are happening to you.

You may look back on a very bad part of your life and wonder how anyone could ever rejoice at that point…

But look at this rejoicing from a spiritual point of view instead of the physical and you get a different picture – one where we always can rejoice for what Christ has done in our lives.

I find it easy to rejoice in Christ and I hope you will now too!

Ecclesiastes 2:10 Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart rejoiced in all my labour; and this was my reward from all my labour.

Can you imagine what it would be like to have as much money as you could ever imagine? What would you actually do with it all?

What about working so hard that you actually accomplished all you set out to do? What would be the cost of having to work that hard?

We like to think that we could do more, have more, spend more, enjoy more, but when it comes down to it, the only rewards we see for all the stuff we do is what we get out of it.

If we want more than that then we need to trust God who can supply more than the physical!

Solomon 2:15 Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.

Foxes may look beautiful, especially baby fox cubs, but they are very mischievous creatures and sly to go with it.

There are going to be those who run amongst us in the same manner: they will look beautiful but they will be mischievous and lead us away from God.

Be very wary of the people who say things which do not agree with God’s Word because they are the foxes in our lives.

Trust God to lead and not man.
