I will greatly rejoice in the Lord!

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord!

" I will greatly rejoice in the Lord! " Isaiah 61:10

In Him there is ample ground for joy! He is the same now as He was when Peter wrote, "Whom having not seen—you love; in whom, though now you see Him not—yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory."

There is everything in Him to meet the deepest necessities of our souls.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.

In Him we have righteousness and strength.

In Him we have . . .
  resources that never fail,
  springs of blessedness that never dry,
  treasures that are never exhausted,
  and unsearchable riches!

In Him we have a Friend whose love never wanes, and whose kindness never fails—One who never leaves us or forsakes us.

In Him we have wisdom and righteousness, sanctification and redemption.

In Him we are blessed with all spiritual blessings.

Surely, my soul, you have cause to be joyful in your God!

In yourself, you have much reason for shame and sorrow—but in the Lord, you have abundant reason for joy and gladness. Look away then from yourself—look to Him, and think . . .
  of what He is,
  of what He has done for you,
  and of what He will yet do!
And so will you greatly rejoice in the Lord, and rejoice in the God of your salvation.

Back to Every Day!
