"REJOICE" THE LORD ALWAYS
"Is it not enough for you to weary men, must you also weary my God?" -Isaiah 7:13
Before writing this, I sat at two airports for several hours as my flights were canceled and/or delayed. I was very weary. Then I read Isaiah 7:13. In a manner of speaking, I weary God when I:
* complain and whine about my own weariness,
* refuse to "walk by faith" (see 2 Cor 5:7),
* sin,
* disobey the Lord,
* refuse to forgive,
* refuse to repent,
* gossip,
* waste the time the Lord has given me, and
* live in selfishness.
Those who sin like Ahaz and Zechariah (see Is 7:12; Lk 1:20) weary the Lord. Those who have faith like that of Mary give the Lord reason to rejoice over them with gladness and to sing joyfully because of them (Zep 3:17).
Men and women of faith, "rejoice" the Lord always. "I say it again. Rejoice!" (Phil 4:4)
Prayer: Jesus, You are my Joy. May I always be Your joy.
Promise: "I am the slave of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word." -Lk 1:38, our transl.
Praise: "O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel controlling at Your will the gate of heaven: come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death; and lead Your captive people into freedom."
