Rejoice!

But let the righteous be glad
     and celebrate before God.
Let them rejoice with gladness!
 
~ Psalm 68:3 (CEB)

Be glad in the Lord always! Again I say, be glad! ~ Philippians 4:4 (CEB)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Don't hesitate to celebrate all that God is and does.

PRAYER
Thank you, God, for giving us cause to celebrate. I don't understand, though, how it is that even though I'm so eager for happiness that I get so easily distracted from celebrating all that you do. Catch me off-guard. Surprise me with fresh insights that release the joy. I'm going to live moment by moment celebrating your goodness. And I'm going to start with the gift of new life which the resurrected Christ pours out on us. Amen.
