A Rejoicing Fellow

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
  -- Psalm 19:8

We read our verse for today and recognize almost at once a psalm from David. He just seemed to be a rejoicing sort of fellow with his singing and dancing. Then we turn a page or two and read Psalm 22. Wow! What a change in the man. David was what some tried to stamp out a few years ago, emotional. Yes, the man after God's own heart could put on a rejoicing class for us, but he also felt the sorrow of this life. Which do we prefer? Why the rejoicing of course.

As Paul tells us in Philippians 4, "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!"
