Rejoice in God's Presence
“My heart is glad, and my tongue shouts His praises! My body rests in hope.”
~ Acts 2:26
Thought of the Day – Rejoice in God's Presence
In life, we all face challenges and difficulties that can weigh us down and make us feel discouraged. Yet, as believers, we have a powerful source of hope and strength in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When we put our trust in Him, we can find joy and peace even in the midst of trials.
The verse from Acts 2:26 reminds us that our hearts can be glad and our tongues can shout His praises. We have every reason to celebrate and give thanks for the blessings that the Lord has bestowed upon us. He has given us the gift of salvation, the promise of eternal life, and the comfort of His presence.
It's important to remember that the Lord is with us always, even when we may not feel His presence. He is constantly working behind the scenes to bring about His purposes in our lives, and He is faithful to His promises. Let this truth fill your heart with hope and confidence, knowing that you are never alone.
As we rest in the knowledge of His love and care for us, we can find peace and strength to face each day. We can trust that He is working all things together for our good, even when we can't see the bigger picture. So let us speak rest to our bodies, minds, and hearts today, in the name of Jesus. May we find comfort in His presence and joy in His salvation, as we lift up our voices in praise and thanksgiving.
