Faith Capsule: Think about it, why are you not rejoicing always?

Philippians 1

Jesus, the living word of God is the only source of joy for man.
Jesus, In His speech to His disciples confirmed that His spoken word is the source of joy when He stated, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.” (John 15:11) After Jesus John, a disciple of Jesus could not be quiet but confirmed the word of Jesus stating, “And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.” (1 John 1:4) Paul the apostle buttressed, “…Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.” (Philippians 1:18)
Having joy through the word of God is the only source.
Think about it, why are you not rejoicing always? Is the word entering you? If yes, are you being filled by the word that is entering? Jesus wants the things He has spoken to remain in us so that our joy may be full.
It is important to know that fullness of joy grants access to God’s presence. Psalmist pointed out, “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” (Psalm 16:11) One must be joyful because the word He has spoken is true and it can never return back to Him void.
Has He promised and not do? One that is not rejoicing is the one with worrying in the world. One that have received the word and believe in the word shall have no place for worrying but rejoicing because He commanded, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’  For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:31-33)
As one that claims to have accepted Christ as Lord and savior, one that is called according to purpose, what are the things staging challenges for you? What are the things that are causing you not to rejoice? Has the word not spoken that, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
In time of every challenging thing, why not engage the word knowing that it will eventually work together as promised in the word of God? If you allow the spoken word to fill you and become full of His word, joy and rejoicing shall be your portion regardless of challenging things of the world.

Prayer for today: Ask that the spoken word of God shall have place in you that your joy me be constant.
