When To Rejoice

1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 KJV 16 Rejoice evermore.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 NASB 16 Rejoice always;

If you only rejoice when things are perfect, you may not rejoice much in this life.

Why miss out on something so pleasant?

ROMANS 12:12 NRSV 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.

You can rejoice in hope! That means to rejoice ahead of time.

Why? Because you expect deliverance. You know God's blessing is coming your way -- because God is faithful. So rejoice now!

PHILIPPIANS 4:4 NIV 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

God never changes. He's always good. Focus on Him and you will have something to rejoice about.

SAY THIS: I will rejoice in the Lord always.
