Php 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Apostle Paul exhorts the Philippians to holy joy and delight in God. It is our duty and privilege to rejoice in the Lord. Our joy emanates from Him. He is our source thus we flow in His tune.
There is repetition of the word “rejoice” for emphasis or to highlight and foreground the act of rejoicing. Our rejoicing should not be occasional but throughout all the seasons.
Many times we rejoice when things are running smooth but when things go wrong ,the joy fades away. Even when afflicted and in suffering we should not let the joy diminish.
Our rejoicing shall be our strength. During the stormy season , we can afford to rejoice for we believe in His power that is above the season. God of the day is still God in the night. When things go wrong, he will make them right. We have no reason to worry but to rejoice in the Lord.
