“Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.” Philippians 4:4
Our promise that is connected to this verse today is actually given to us in the next verse but we have one here as well. It is easy to rejoice when good things happen and when good things come our way, isn't it? It is more different when we are facing challenging circumstances and are filled with confusion over what God is allowing into our lives to test us. But that is what happens. We are not always shielded from difficulty or pain or suffering or sorrow. But we are given this command, to REJOICE ALWAYS! That means even in difficulty. And our promise and the reason we can do this? The Lord is near. He is always near because He has promised to never desert us or leave us. Just the fact that we know that the Lord is near is why, and how, we can rejoice always and that brings peace.
