Bible Verse for November 18th.

Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters, rejoice in The Lord.

Philippians 3:1

NLT Bible

It's easy to rejoice when life is running smoothly, but it's quite a different thing when our life is in chaos. We may face circumstances in our lives that cause us to feel as if joy is slowly being drained out of us. Thankfully, we serve a great God who loves and cares for us and we don't have to feel like this. We can rejoice in the midst of problems because of the hope we have in Jesus. He is with us, He's in control and our trials will not last.

We need to rejoice when we're happy or sad, when loneliness surfaces, when our faith is stretched and tested, our nerves are frayed or when our strength is weak. God is in control and if we keep on rejoicing, praising and thanking Him, soon our demeanour changes and then each day, there's a new glimmer of hope as our circumstances change. Whatever happens, we are to always rejoice in The Lord.

Thank you Lord for caring for me. I praise and worship you, Lord, I know that You are always with me and whatever happens, I rejoice because of the hope I have in you. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
