“Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!” Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:4-7 WEB)
The apostle Paul wrote the words above when he was in prison for nothing but preaching the Gospel. He had a reason to be angry, but he chose to rejoice!
You don’t have to rejoice in your circumstance. The thing that happened to you may not be good, but you can always rejoice “in the Lord”—no one can take that away from you.
Treasure the “peace of God”. Nothing is worth trading this peace for. It is the peace of God that allows you to sleep sweetly at night, and to rejoice even when circumstances look bad.
Only born-again believers have this peace. The world cannot buy it. No matter what you’re going through, wait for God happily! You cannot change the fact that you must wait, but you can choose which attitude to adopt. I’m not going to waste this precious time that the Lord has blessed me with—I’ll rejoice and be happy right now!
