We have an eternal hope that should light every waking moment of every day producing joy.
To rejoice is to celebrate our hope. It is outward expression of that which is in us.
If we are rejoicing we will not be quickly moved by the attacks of the enemy but we will be patient in expectation of victory.
Continue in prayer by keeping the line open to the HolySpirit and your mind stayed on the Word.
Our privilege in Christ is to be contrasted with the hopeless plight of those outside of Christ - especially those who have knowingly and willfully rejected Him. Eph 2:12 Heb 10:26,27
