Poem: Rejoice in Everything!

O Lord, my God and Heavenly King,
my heart continues to rejoice;
for You alone are worthy of praise!
I honor Thee with my poetic voice.

Despite the scars of emotional hurt,
that constantly seek to swallow me up,
I know that You are nearby, having…
sipped from Your sacrificial cup.

Patiently, I wait, shedding anxieties
about my earthly troubles and circumstance.
Joyfully, I petition Thee with prayers,
thankful that You are… Lord of the Dance.

With my heart and upraised hands,
I bask in Your Presence and peace.
Guard my heart and mind with tranquility;
permit my turmoil… to permanently cease.

When I’m focused on whatever is pure,
It’s You - that has my spirit stirring.
Consume my Life with Your essence.
Insure that I… rejoice in everything!

Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai,  

"Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice." - Philippians 4:4 I can still remember the exhortation a pastor in our church about this verse. Just imagine how tough the circumstances Paul was facing when he wrote to the Philippians. Yet his exhortation to them was to rejoice in the Lord always. Amen!
