Sometimes the cold winter days can seem so very long and dark. The world around us can seem rather cold and dark as well. Our world is dying and there is a lot of evil things going on. Even though things may seem bleak we believers in the Lord Jesus Christ can rejoice in who He is and we can we rejoice that we know Him and are known by Him.
Our hearts my feel troubled with all the things going on in our world today and all of the troubles we see going on. Sometimes our lives are filled with trouble and sometimes are minds can be filled with troubling and anxious thoughts. It is all too easy for us to get discouraged and filled with fear at all that is going on in our world these days.
We must remember that God is still God. He hasn't left us to fend for ourselves. Our God is a present help in our time of need. It is our God that works out all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. The Lord is aware of all that is going on in our world today and He knows what is going on in our lives as well. The Lord cares for us and He will take care of us.
When times get tough and things happen that don't seem to make sense we need to continue to trust in the Lord and know that He is at work in ways we can't see or even understand. His thoughts are greater than our thoughts and His ways are better than our ways.
We can rejoice in the Lord for His goodness and His peace that guards our hearts and minds. We can rejoice this Christmas season as we remember all that God has done in the past by sending us His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save us. We can rejoice that our sins are forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We can rejoice that our names are written in the Lambs Book of Life. We can rejoice in the Lord for giving everyone that opportunity to have their sins forgiven by repenting of their sins and placing their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Let us rejoice in the Lord for all the good things He has done for us and all that He continues to do.
Lord,
We rejoice in You.
We praise You!
Help us to be led by Your Holy Spirit.
Shine Your light through us into this dark world.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
