Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” (Lamentations 3:24).
Do you find it difficult to rejoice? One thing the enemy is trying to do is to discourage you. But the good news is, you can choose to control your feelings. God is always trying to help you find true joy. Joy is not based on what’s happening in your life. If we don’t have anything else, we’ve got the best thing in the whole world because we’ve got God. God is our portion, and He is good, so we all possess good. The only person who can be permanently happy and rejoice is the one who enjoys peace of mind and lives in the favour of God. God’s favour is so amazing.
We need to believe God for favour because when God puts His favour on you, you’ll experience the amazing difference in the things that can happen in your life because you are trusting God to supernaturally open doors for you. Rejoice because God is good, and every good and perfect gift comes from Him. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17). So, you can rejoice because you have something good. But you can also rejoice because you are expecting something good that you haven’t had yet. Not just rejoicing occasionally, but continuously. You ought to be magnifying and praising the Lord and rejoicing in the Lord!
