Rejoice, Rejoice!

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”
Philippians 4:4

In Philippians chapter 4 Paul writes several great words of wisdom for believers.  Some of them many of us have memorized and even used as life verses.  When reading through the epistle to the church of Philippi again, I was impressed with verse 4.

Paul encourages us to rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS, and then for good measure he says it again, rejoice.  I’ve always heard and said that if the Bible says something twice it must be important.  Paul reiterates his encouragement to rejoice.  It’s so important that it’s worth saying twice.  And worth doing twice.

Notice how Paul doesn’t say rejoice when things are going great.  Or rejoice when you have a victory.  Or rejoice when you know God is working in your life.  He says rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS. 

Always!  No matter what is going on in your life today.  Rejoice!  I will say it again, REJOICE!
