Weekly Devotionals for 2008
 
WALK OF GRACE - My Spiritual Service of Worship
(Taken from the Walk of Grace Study by Sandra J. Mikler Davis)
 
June - Week 4:
 
Today we'll look at the Greek word "chairo" (#5463):
meaning rejoice and sometimes translated "grace."
As joy is a direct result of God's grace, we now see a verb meaning grace!
It can be described as the skipping and frisking of a lamb for joy.
What a lovely word picture this is for rejoicing. (Lexicon, p.1886)
 
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Philippians 4:4
 
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; Not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

Romans 12:9-13
 
We have many reasons to rejoice.
We are commanded to rejoice always, even in trials, hardships, and persecution.
Rejoicing comes from having a right focus.
It is a choice we make, and through rejoicing we are blessed.
 
APPLICATION:
 
Evaluate my present level of rejoicing:
  • Am I purposeful in rejoicing, or does it only happen on occasion?
  • What can I do to make rejoicing a more consistent and natural part of my life, regardless of my circumstances?
May our testimony reflect praise and may we rejoice always in Him!
