Rejoice Always!

This morning I heard the Lord encouraging me to look up the word: REJOICE!

How many times is it found in the Bible? 184

What are the Hebrew and Greek definitions?

Rejoice:
be glad, joy, hail, greeting, God speed, joyfully, rejoice exceedingly, to be well, thrive. Rejoice (arrogantly); exult (at); to rejoice (religiously); to cause to rejoice, gladden, make glad; merry, triumph, joyful; delight; tremble; showing joy; merryhearted; you who rejoice. Sing aloud, shout, shout for joy, sing for joy; cry out; shout aloud; to overcome; give a ringing cry; to give a ringing cry (in joy, exultation, praise); to cause to ring or sing out (for joy). To be well off, fare well, prosper; acting well; well; well done; good! To rein in or curb; understanding; the midriff or diaphragm, the parts of the heart; the mind; the faculty of perceiving and judging. Leap, spring up, gush up, of water.

1 Peter 1: 8 - Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Revelation 12: 12 - Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 19: 7 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Rejoice in the Lord with me today! Let us, in the midst of trying circumstances, offer the sacrifices of Praise and Rejoicing unto Him! He is a GOOD God who has promised to deliver us and to keep us who have placed our trust in Him. No matter what the circumstances, He is greater!

Oh my soul, hope thou in God today! He is our Deliverer! So REJOICE!


Prayer:

Father, You said in your Word that we are to rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep. We know that there are many today, weeping. There are many afflicted and in straits that we ourselves, are not in. Father, help! Send the necessary help to deliver! Help us to know our part in helping. If prayer, then prayer. If in doing, then doing. Let us not be slack to hear and to obey You, in whatever you would say to us, as our part. Lord God, you can make a way, where there seems to be no way. Be the way-maker today, in people's lives and in their particular situations. Be the healer of every manner of brokenness presenting itself. May those in need, find You and Your answers to be very present. We rebuke the devourer and his destructive devices. We speak forth the life of Jesus, to come and take up residence; to Redeem! Thank you Father. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Be Blessed Today!
