Rejoice, again I say rejoice!
This time of year I really need the reminder to rejoice in all things. In the little things and the big things.
Mom confession: I have not been rejoicing. I’ve been complaining as many things keep getting added to my plate. Some fun things, some not so fun. Either way, the Lord has called us to rejoice. As I look at this picture I’m reminded of the many mountains my husband and I have climbed together. Mountains related to health, jobs, loss of friendships due to death and circumstances.
Whatever the circumstances I am going to choose to be led forth in peace and break forth into singing. Okay, maybe not today. But I’m working on it.
“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12-13
Prayer for you and me: Lord Jesus, help us to remember You haven’t called us to be super-moms. You have called us to be Your daughters and sons. Help us to rejoice in all things and let the busyness and to-do lists fall to the side as you call us to joy. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Amen.
