And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” — Nehemiah 8:10 (NLT) This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalms 118:24 NASB1995) For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17 NLT) Yahweh has made this day and He knows the plans and thoughts that He has for you, plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11 AMP) We can rejoice because Yahweh is a God of forgiveness. He is gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those who seek and require the LORD [as their most es...

(Psalms 97:6) Psalms 98:3 says, all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

“Yet I will Rejoice”

Image
“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NLT) No matter what the doctor’s report says, or what the balance is on the bank statement, continue to rejoice in Yahweh.

I will rejoice because He has rescued me. (See Psalms 13:5 NLT) Finally, my fellow believers, continue to rejoice and delight in the LORD. To write the same things again is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you. Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 3:1 & 4:4 AMP)

This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) The fact that Yahweh woke us up this morning is a reason to rejoice. The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; 
Great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 LSB) Thank God for the fresh new mercies He poured out on us this morning. Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, rejoice!

Be Glad & Rejoice!

“Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.”  “… let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.

Our Hope & Our Help

Image
“ We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. ” — Psalms 33:20-22 (NLT) Sing for joy in Yahweh, O righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. (Psalms 33:1 LSB) He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh. (Psalms 33:5 LSB) …the LORD’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.

Rejoice & Be Glad

Image
This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) “Do not be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.” (See Nehemiah 8:10 LSB) In 2 Corinthians 7:4 (AMP), the Apostle Paul says: “I am overflowing with joy in spite of all our trouble.” We can choose joy in all circumstances, knowing that our heavenly Father is working for our good. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning. (Psalms 30:5 NASB1995) Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him. Be glad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart. (Psalms 32:10-11 LSB) I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, because You have seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul, and You have not given me over into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a large place. ...

Let Us Rejoice

Image
“This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalms 118:24 (LSB)  Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NASB) For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.

Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (See Psalms 139:16 NLT) So, He knows the plans He has for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

Live by Faith

Image
Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive fails and the fields produce no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the LORD;
I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation! — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (AMP) When you are down to nothing, know that Yahweh is up to something. When it seems that nothing is working, remember our great and mighty God has already worked everything out concerning you. His lovingkindness never fails. In the face of lack, keep in mind that we serve a God of abundance and overflow (more than enough). Habakkuk 2:4 (AMP) reminds us that the righteous will live by his faith [in the true God]. So no matter how circumstances may appear, believers can choose to rejoice in Yahweh and know that He is faithful to provide for His children. Our joy is not in the provision, but in the Provider.

This is the Day

Image
This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) Oh come, let us sing for joy to Yahweh, let us make a loud shout to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us make a loud shout to Him with songs of praise. For Yahweh is a great God and a great King above all gods, (Psalms 95:1-3 LSB) Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before Yahweh our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts… (Psalms 95:6-8 LSB) Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul. — Psalms 143:8 (LSB)

Rejoice the Lord!

Image
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! — Philippians 4:4 (NASB1995) We can rejoice in the Lord because we know that the plans that He has for us are plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11 AMP) “So celebrate the goodness of God! He shows this kindness to everyone who is his. Go ahead—shout for joy, all you upright ones who want to please him!” (Psalms 32:11 TPT) And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (See Romans 8:28 NASB1995) Be glad and give thanks to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (See 1 Corinthians 15:57) A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. — Proverbs 17:22 (NASB1995)

He Calms Our Fears

Image
“For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” — Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT) …God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV) And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. (1 John 4:17-18 NLT) Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’ Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” — Isaiah 12:2-3 (NKJV)

He Delights in Our Prosperity

Image
Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; And let them say continually, “The LORD be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.” — Psalms 35:27 (NASB1995) Prosperity is a state of flourishing and thriving (experiencing good success) in all areas of life. Yahweh has pleasure in the prosperity of His people. Proverbs 13:21 (NASB1995) says: Adversity pursues sinners, but the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity. Psalms 37:11 says, the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity. Deuteronomy 30:15 (NLT) says: “Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster.” Every day we get to make a decision to trust in and follow Yahweh. When we don’t choose Him, we are headed for disaster, destruction and death. Choose life in order that you may live! Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, and h...

Light Shines

Image
“Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right. May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!” — Psalms 97:11-12 (NLT) In John 9:5, Yeshua said: “While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” In Matthew 5:14, He told His disciples: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;” Wherever your journey through life takes you, be the light . As children of God we are to live clean, innocent lives, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. (See Philippians 2:15 NLT) Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 NASB1995) “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and dense gloom the peoples; But Yahweh will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you.”  — Isaiah 60:1-2 (LSB)

Hope in Him Alone

Image
We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. — Psalms 33:20-22 (NLT) I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. (Psalms 31:7-8) Love the LORD, all you godly ones! For the LORD protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant. So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD! (Psalms 31:23-24) I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me, LORD, for you are a faithful God. (Psalms 31:5) ...joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God. (Psalms 146:5) ...I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. — Psalms 27:13 (NLT)

I Will Rejoice

Image
Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls— Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NKJV) Habakkuk 3:18 (AMP) says: “Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the LORD; I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation!” Let us make a dedicated decision to rejoice in Yahweh, regardless of the circumstances. It's our choice to rejoice! Yahweh, our mighty God, is with us and His purpose and plan will prevail. The plans He has for us are good and He will cause everything to work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. (See Jeremiah 29:11 & Romans 8:28) Amen.

Why Rejoice?

Image
This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) We can rejoice in this day because Yahweh is with us, and with God ALL things are possible. (See Matthew 19:26) He will never leave us, nor forsake us. In Isaiah 43:2-3 (TPT), He says: “When you pass through the deep, stormy sea, you can count on me to be there with you. When you pass through raging rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through persecution like fiery flames, you will not be burned; the flames will not harm you, for I am your Savior, Yahweh, your mighty God, the Holy One of Israel!” “ Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand .” — Isaiah 41:10 (TPT)   Amen!

A Very Present Help

Image
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. — Psalms 46:1 (LSB) Yahweh is with us at all times, and He is always ready to help. Hallelujah! When you receive a bad report from the doctor, the great Physician is with you, and He is your Healer. When you suffer loss and tragedy, He is by your side to carry you through. When you don’t get that job or promotion, He opens another door that no one can shut. Let us rejoice and hold onto hope through the hard times, because our Help, the Mighty God is faithful. Pray at all times, continually seeking His wisdom, guidance, and strength. For the Eternal watches over the righteous, and His ears are attuned to their prayers. He is always listening. (Psalms 34:15 VOICE) The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude — Psalms 46:7 (NLT)

Rejoice Always?

Image
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! — Philippians 4:4 (NKJV) How can we maintain a continually joyful attitude? By practicing Philippians 2:14 (NKJV): ...do all things without complaining and disputing. And by abiding in our Lord and Savior, King Yeshua. He says: “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” He will never leave us nor forsake us. Ecclesiastes 11:8 (NASB1995) says: Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Even when we are walking through those dark valleys, we can be joyful that Yeshua is with us, and He has already overcome the world. Psalms 5:11 (AMP) says: let all who take refuge and put their trust in the LORD rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; because He covers and shelters us, let those who love His name be joyful and exult in Him. May we worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. (See Philippians ...
