Living In The Light Of Truth

Your voice calls out to me, your hand brings me forth, your presence felt so ever strong, REJOICE in the Lord in all our circumstance. How timely it is that I share on rejoicing church whereby it has also reminded me the pure joy of having Jesus in my life.

God created the world to be a joy to him, all creation radiates the joy of God and since we are made in him image, we share his spirit of joy. His joy is not of the world which is temporarily but an everlasting joy.

"Surely the joy of mankind is withered away" Joel 1:12 and "the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment" Job 20:5

For the fruits of spirit is joy that many philosophers, scientists, empires do not understand and fathom. How can joy be experience when there is unbelief in God. Alexander the Great conquered the entire known world of his day, but after he had done so he wept. "There are no more worlds to conquer, where is happiness to be found"

Christians are real people, living in real world, having real problems yet have the ability to have joy in the midst of them all because they know they have a great God and can rejoice in spite of lifes circumstnace. For Gods mercy, goodness and greatness as we claim and declare it!

"With Joy you will draw water from wells of salvation" Isaiah 12:3 and "whoever drinks the water i give him will never thirst. the water i give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life" John 4:14.

Stumbled on a song this morning from Chris tomlin's new album


Chris Tomlin "Rejoice"

See the morning, see it rising
Over the mountains high
See the mercy in the mighty hand of God

Living Water come and fill us
Only You can satisfy
Turn our sorrow into singing
The song of life

Rejoice, Rejoice
Sing with the angel voices
Rejoice, Rejoice
All Heaven and earth rejoice

Lord, Your strength is a tower
The righteous run into
Lord, Your love is a banner over us
And we hold on to the promise
That Your hold on us is true
There's no other like You, Jesus
No one like You

Always
Again I say rejoice
