Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4 (KJV)
Have an amazing day on purpose! I type these words often at the end of my emails, at the end of some text messages and at times I even say it at the end of my phone calls. These words are important for me to share because I want everyone to know that you have to “Make the Choice to Rejoice”. It’s not an option, it is a command. Paul said “Rejoice in the Lord all the time, and he knew we wouldn’t get it the first time so he said it again, “AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE”! That’s a mic drop moment! It is a declaration to remind us that God has given us the ability to command our day. It is God giving us an opportunity to put the enemy on notice that nothing he could ever do will change what we feel or how we show up each and every day. You must understand, Satan didn’t create your day, he can only get in your way. He comes with barrier walls, road blocks, potholes, speed bumps, mountains and anything he can find to hinder us so he can try to steal our joy. The enemy thinks he has power to affect our day, but the truth is he really does not have the power. The only way Satan can get our joy is if we give it away. Having an amazing day is a mindset. Having an amazing day ON PURPOSE, requires intentionality. Can I tell you something else? Stop giving the enemy credit, for something he did not create. What am I talking about? The enemy is always busy trying to cause all kinds of problems in your day. Then YOU decide to respond with “I’m having a BAD DAY!” Come on, are you kidding me? Let me help you. I'm going to roll back the scroll a little bit. Satan did not create the day, God did. Satan wants to be God, but He can’t. Remember, David declared in Psalm 118:24, “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it” I like to say Let us Rejoice and be glad We’re STILL IN IT!” David said rejoice and be glad.
Everything God speaks, touches and blesses is GOOD and since God is GOOD and what He creates is GOOD, then the whole day is GOOD. Bad moments can occur in the day and maybe even multiple bad things could happen but NEVER GIVE CREDIT to the enemy. Make the Choice to Rejoice. Back in 1983, Minister Thomas Whitfield, still one of my favorite singer-songwriters of all time wrote and sang these simple words “Hallelujah Anyhow, Anyhow, Just keep on praising Him, Anyhow, Anyhow!” Find this song and listen to these simple words. It will help you make the choice to rejoice. I tell you the more you praise Him the better you’ll feel and when the bad moments come you will choose to rejoice right in the midst of it and watch how God moves!
