Rejoice in the Lord

Scripture: Isaiah 61: 10 -11

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with jewels. For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Reaction: Today I was in a glorious mood for so many reasons: the beautiful weather, completion of a rewarding task, and anticipation of pending job opportunity. Being joyful in my God and rejoicing with Him just came naturally! As I reflected on this passage, I became very thankful for all the Lord has given me, especially His salvation. I hope that I am robed with righteousness as I continue to work for the good of others and for the glory of God. Since the job opportunity involves helping others, I trust that the seeds compassion, love and service that I have planted and nurtured for the last several months will spring forth and bear fruit.
