Rejoice in Your Salvation - Part 708

This is the day that the Lord hath made -- we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalms 118:24) Rejoice in the Lord always. And again, I say rejoice. (Philippians 4:4)

Moreover, allow our soul to wait for the Lord. Let our Lord God and Saviour Jesus be our help and our shield. Our refuge in times of trouble. Let our heart rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. (Psalms 33:20) Indeed, rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (I Thessalonians 5:16-24)

Further, let your moderation be known unto all men. Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. In so doing, may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, for faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.

In all things, let the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) Let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defendest them. Let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee. (Psalms 5:11)  

It is particularly important -- in attending to our daily life obligations -- that we let the Spirit of God work within us. The scriptures state that we should not quench the Spirit. And, similarly, despise not prophesyings. Instead, prove all things. Hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil, in order that the very God of peace can sanctify you wholly. Most of all, rejoice in the knowledge that the Lord Jesus is good. 

Finally, brethren whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Stand in the offering plate.
