Nehemiah 4:1-23; Haggai 1:1-15; Revelation 9:1-21

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4

What a wonderful directive. Rejoice in the Lord. What blessings would accrue in our lives if we would challenge ourselves to find joy in our life every day. It’s there, just look past the many things to do, the trials that try to overtake, the negative thoughts that want attention. Let there be joy in your heart. —Debbie Douglas

I am the Lord’s! O joy beyond expression,
O sweet response to voice of love Divine;
Faith’s joyous “Yes” to the assuring whisper,
“Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine.” —L. A. Bennett
