In This You Greatly Rejoice

   Rejoicing does not come naturally to many people. Being full of joy such that your countenance is visibly changed is difficult for some. The Bible informs us in many places that we are to rejoice and let our rejoicing shape our thoughts and behaviors. Consider these examples:

   “But let all who take refuge in You be glad, let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You.”  Psalm 5:11.

   “You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.”  Psalm 16:11.

   “Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.”  Psalm 32:11.

   “Shout joyfully to God, all the earth.” Psalm 66:1.

   “Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of His works with joyful singing.” Psalm 107:22.

   “A joyful heart makes a cheerful face.”  Proverbs 15:13a.

   “Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.”  Jeremiah 15:16.
