Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!Philippians 4:4
After Thought
The Hebrew dictionary teaches that joy means “to brighten up, to cheer up, to be merry, to bring pleasure.” The Greek dictionary teaches that joy means “cheerfulness and gladness.” Joy has a lot to do with where we focus. If we have lost our joy it can be regained if we begin to focus on our blessings and choose to cherish and savor what is good. Paul wrote; “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.~ Pastor Bob Barnett
