Nothing Should Diminish our Joy in Christ

 “and there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Life in Christ is a lot of rejoicing, joy and gladness, that’s what our God wants for all His children.  God repeatedly called His people with all their family members, to rejoice in His Presence, to eat and be merry with Him.  The new covenant far exceeds in blessings and privileges, when Jesus brought great joy to all people.  Not only is there joy in His Presence, but we enjoy being part of His family.  We enjoy our work as the Holy Spirit, the Oil of gladness comes upon us and helps us in our work.  We enjoy giving generously to bless others and bring joy in their lives.  We rejoice in God’s vindication.  God’s servants are persecuted in many parts of the world and God’s enemies are gloating over the Body of Christ.  Moses sang this song, “Rejoice with Him, you heavens, and let all of God’s angels worship Him.  Rejoice with His people, you Gentiles, and let all the angels be strengthened in Him. For He will avenge the blood of His children; He will take revenge against His enemies. He will repay those who hate Him and cleanse His people’s land.”  Let nothing around us diminish our joy as we rejoice.  Amen!
