ALL DAY LONG?
Are you rejoicing? Biblically I should ask, how much are you rejoicing?
David confessed Psalm 89:16 says: “IN THY NAME shall they rejoice ALL THE DAY.”
“I beg your pardon,” I hear you saying! “You have no idea what I am putting up with here today. You’ve got no idea of the fiery trial I am enduring.”
Yes, I know. You can’t always rejoice in your circumstances. David went through myriads trying and difficult times, often nearly to the point of death. He faced war, treasury, and danger that we couldn’t even dream of facing. He couldn’t rejoice in His trials, but what did he do instead? He rejoiced in the name of the Lord.
Can I encourage you to lift up your eyes from your problems and trust in the name of the Lord? You can’t trust in man. You can’t trust in all that’s happening around you, especially at this confusing time. But you CAN trust and rejoice in the name of the Lord. Isn’t that wonderful?
How many times a day do you say, Praise the Lord?”
Proverbs 18:10 says: “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
Rejoice in the name of the Lord. Your circumstances may not change but your attitude will change when you trust in the mighty, miraculous, powerful, healing delivering name of the Lord. Instead of turmoil you’ll have peace. Instead of fear, you’ll have home. Instead of confusion, you’ll know the truth. And the atmosphere of your home will change.
Psalm 71:8 says: “Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor ALL THE DAY.” Can you make this your prayer too?
Not sometimes. Not when everything is perfect. But ALL THE DAY, no matter what happens!
Be blessed.
