“Sing unto the Lord, sing psalms unto Him, talk you of all His wondrous works. 10. Glory in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.”
This text is an example of a call to rejoice in the Lord. Throughout the Bible we are called to rejoice. The question for you is that do you rejoice in the Lord, and does your life reflect that rejoicing? I want to share some reasons we should rejoice in the Lord, and that our lives should reflect that rejoicing. First, we have a God who loves us. There is nothing any plainer in the Bible than that God loves us. The apostle John had personally experienced God’s love through His daily contact with Jesus. He wrote about that love in 1 John 4:16: “And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love, and he that dwells in love dwells in God and God in Him." We do not have to question whether or not God loves us. We can accept the fact that He loves us, and that will make a difference in our lives. Do you know that God loves you? That’s right; God really and truly loves you. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for you and save you from your sins. I want to encourage you to accept God’s love and rejoice in it. Second, we have a God who wants to bless us. Do we really want His blessings, or do we see that we can have His blessings in our lives? We have an example in the Bible of how people shun the blessings of God in Israel. He had delivered the Israelites from Egypt. He had divided the Red Sea for them. It wasn’t long before they were griping and complaining about their lot in life. Time and again God blessed the Israelites and they soon forgot about it and continued to gripe and complain. In the same way, God wants to bless us, but do we know that He wants to bless us? We should rejoice in the blessings that He has given us. If you have received the salvation that God offers through His Son, you should rejoice and your life should reflect your rejoicing. Claim God’s blessings today and rejoice in Him. Third, we have a God who wants to give us a purpose in life. We realize the love and blessings of God when we accept his will and purpose for our lives. God wants you be His farmer. God wants you to be His pharmacist. God wants you to be His school teacher. God wants you to be his cashier. God wants you to be His Sunday School teacher. God wants you to be His deacon. God wants you to be His preacher. We should rejoice in the fact that God wants to use us in whatever our vocations are. Think of it: The God of the universe loves you, wants to bless you and He wants to use you in His purposes. He doesn’t just want to use you in the church. He wants to use you in your daily life. These are three reasons for us to rejoice. They are reasons for you to rejoice! Bro. Joe
