Learn to sing in the Rain!

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials...James 1:2 (NKJV)

Learn to sing in the rain. If you wait for

circumstances to be right before you allow yourself to rejoice, you are going to be one sad puppy. Learn to rejoice in all circumstances. You will be surprised at how many people will join you and sing with you.

But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Acts 16:25 (NKJV)

Now none but Christ can satisfy

Looking for peace? Many are! Some seek it more than they do the Lord. The little poem below says a lot!

O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found,
And found in Thee alone,
The peace, the joy I sought so long,
The bliss till now unknown.

I sighed for rest and happiness,
I yearned for them, not Thee;
But while I passed my Saviour by,
His love laid hold on me.

Now none but Christ can satisfy,
None other name for me;
There's love, and life, and lasting joy,
Lord Jesus, found in Thee.
--Author unknown.

The Other Side

On the other side of the clouds the sun is shining. Look beyond the clouds and see the sunshine.

The clouds of life (troubles, sickness, etc.) can block the light and cause us to live in gloom. When you look beyond the clouds, you can enjoy the sunlight. Look beyond the problems to the problem solver, Jesus. That's the secret to smiling during a cloudy day.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

Be Better*

Be consistently obedient to God's word. Choose to always obey. Many people often "window-shop" when it comes to obedience. They only choose to obey when it's convenient. Real joy is found when a person steadfastly obeys the Lord. 

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! (Psalms 119:5)

"The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is no true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only." -A. W. Tozer Share
