June 4 – Why not rejoice?

June 4 – Why not rejoice?

The other day, on Sunday to be more specific, the Pastor made two statements that have stayed with me –
i) Happiness is a choice
ii) Whenever we are sad, disappointed, sorrowful, the devil throws a party.
So, what are you going to be – joyful or downcast? Why are you downcast, when the Prince of peace is your husband? Why are you worried, when the Maker of heaven and earth is your father? Why are you losing your joy, when I AM THAT I AM has the final say in all matters – and He is your father.

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” Psalm 42v5

“Rejoice evermore.” 1 Thessalonians 5v16
