Good morning! The sky is clear, probably going to be a warm one today. The wheat harvest should be starting up around here at any time. The farmers are expecting a good crop and with the high grain prices they should do well this year. Isn't it great when someone around you does well in this world? We can rejoice with them in their success. In Philippians, Paul writes extensively about joy and rejoicing. We should read about joy in the Bible often, for we are not called to grief and sadness, though we do share them from time to time, but to joy in the Lord Jesus. Christians are not fools who grin at a funeral. We share the sadness of a loved one's passing, but we also remember the joy that loved one will feel when they go to be with Jesus. We too hope to be with Jesus soon. Sometimes we find there is no hope in this world at all, and that only Jesus can save us from some situation. We find joy in that too, for our Lord is sovereign and in His love we will rejoice in eternity! Joy and rejoicing may seem far away from us at times. However, we will find unexpected joy in Jesus in the times we might least expect it. Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say rejoice! (Philippians 4:4)
God bless you on this fine day!
