- “Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye grieved; for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8.10).
- “Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.” (Philippians 4.4).
- “Rejoice always;” (1Thes 5.16).
- “For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3.17,18).
As we can see above, we must rejoice in Jesus every time, regardless the circumstances, being that our strength. Something that have to be present always certainly is a foundation, the eleventh.
Nevertheless, what type of happiness is that? The satisfaction of being carried away by the presence of Jesus, that is to say, by the certain of being accepted by Him to the point of we gain the privilege of living for Him (1John 4.9) instead of being led astray by ourselves (Hosea 9.17).
In other words, our happiness has to be to see the path that leads to the life:
- “Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” (Psalms 16.11).
That is to say, our happiness ought to be to discover and go through the path that reveals the true Life, always people get in touch with us on a daily basis.
To be more precise: the important isn’t only sort out the predicaments, let alone cramp ourselves to hear people and pray for them. Although all these things are important, we need to be the solution in Christ Jesus of each person that come to us, that is, in our presence each person must contemplate the acting of Jesus in their innermost through the situation they are living in.
Before all these things, find your pleasure in each circumstance and person that Jesus is presenting to you and live unforgettable day.
