Rejoice Evermore

"Rejoice evermore."  I Thessalonians 5:16.  This is a simple, and yet, profound admonition.  The Christian is to be in a state of constant rejoicing.  We have much for which to rejoice.  God is our Father and Jesus is our Savior.  Heaven is our hope.  God is always available and Jesus is our constant companion.  We have fellowship with those of "like precious faith."  We can draw strength from the Word of God.  Our faith can grow and be our guide.  We have light for our path so that we do not stumble.  Answers can be found to the perplexing questions of life.  Solutions are given for the disturbances of life.  Our journey has meaning and focus.  Blessings abound and grace flows from the throne of heaven.  Satan cannot defeat us and the grave has been robbed of its victory.  Glory is our future.  Indeed, rejoice always.
