1 Thess 5:16 Rejoice evermore.
KJV
Short and to the point is this command, rejoice evermore. Not hard to understand, not so deep that one needs it to be explained by a theologian, rejoice evermore. But doesn’t that seem to be impossible to obey at times in our lives? How can one follow this command, to be found rejoicing always? Just a few things. Note the following two verses. (1 Thess 5:17-18 Pray without ceasing. (18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.) Are you taking all to the Lord Jesus Christ in prayer all of the time? Then, are you seeking and asking for the will of God in your prayers? That does not mean we are not permitted to ask for things to turn out as we would want, or even for the desires of our heart, but it does mean we acknowledge that God is above us and His will is always better for all. So, are you praying always and always in submission to the will of God? Then, are you willing to walk with the Lord? (Ps 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.) Are you willing to acknowledge that it is only as you walk with the Lord, in the pathway He leads you down, that you will find a fulness of joy? We can be found obeying the command of our text verse this morning but only as we follow close to our Lord, only as we walk in His pathway.
