Rejoice! Revel in His joy!


          Have you had your Joy Juice today? Drink in a special serving and CELEBRATE!

            Celebrations come in all shapes and forms…large and small, grandiose and modest.  Some celebrations come with fireworks and others are so private that not another soul knows what’s being celebrated.  We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, good news, holidays, successes, championships, graduations, weddings….  There are countless reasons to celebrate.

            Today, let’s celebrate the joy of Jesus! And then, may we choose to celebrate it tomorrow and the following day and the next…until it becomes a daily habit! Celebrate the joy of knowing Him on a personal basis. Christmas is the time that we set aside to specifically celebrate the birth of Christ. But then….do we tend to forget to celebrate Him the rest of the year? 

            Philippians 4:4 tells us to “Rejoice in the Lord, always; and again I say rejoice.” The Message Bible gives this beautiful translation: “Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him!”  When we rejoice, indeed, we are celebrating! Let’s remember to “revel” and “rejoice” every day!

            Just as we are to “pray without ceasing”, let’s celebrate the love of Christ without ceasing. When the eyes of our hearts are continually on Him, then joy will be ours in a way that is impossible by any other means.

            Celebrate Jesus and revel in His joy!
