Rejoice In The Lord Always

[DustyRhodes]

[FONT=&quot]I Will Say It Again; Rejoice,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Well that might sound pretty simple at first blush but[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]but if we start one day at a time. Little by little, day[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]by day commit to Christ and allow Him to become a[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]habit. Every journey begins with the first step. If we[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]look at things in totality we can be easily overwhelmed.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]To be joyful though is to stand out from the rest Paul[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]is saying to us. This doesn't mean we need to walk[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]around with a pasty smile on our face as a matter of[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]showing off. Rather it's a genuine smile that begins [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]in the heart and then reaches the face. It is a matter[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]of trust in the Lord. When we pray, we need to believe[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]that His will is going to be done. Otherwise we are no[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]different than secular society. Living the Christian life[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]is living in the world but not of the world. Simply, we[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]are asked to be happy in the Lord and love Him rather[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]than fear Him.[/FONT]
