"Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, Rejoice! Let Your gentleness be known to ALL men. The Lord IS at hand! Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus!
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is any thing praise worthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me; these do and the God of peace will be with you" (Philippians 4:4-9).
Paul encourages us to celebrate Jesus all day, every day, continually; not just when tragedy comes our way and not just during special occasions; but to celebrate the Lord Jesus continually. Throughout the Word we see those who wholeheartedly followed the Lord making a joyful noise during times of war, much like the song we sing, "God is working for us, God is on our side, He has overcome, Yes He has overcome; We will not be shaken, we will not be moved; Jesus you are here; carrying our burdens, covering our shame, He has overcome, yes He has overcome; we will not be shaken, we will not be moved, Jesus you are here! I will live, I will not die, the Resurrection Power of Christ, Alive in me and I am Free in Jesus' name!"
Our victory over all evil comes in knowing 'Who He is and Whose we are' in Christ Jesus and it's this knowing that stirs up our innermost Spirit causing us to rejoice from the depths of our soul with songs of praise that we will not be shaken; we will not be moved because He is with us; and Jesus is Glorified! I pray your fears be overshadowed with knowing God is more than enough to bring you through any thing that may come against you because Jesus has already conquered it all; so enjoy a wonderfully blessed life He has planned just for you. God loves you, dear friend, and so do I~~~
