Rejoice Always

God is Good All The Time, and once again He sent His servant, Rev. Lawrence Seow from Singapore to share His Word and remind us to focus on Him and Him alone.

1 Thessalonians 5 : 16-18 tells us to - Be joyful always ; pray continually ; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

We need to be joyful, not only in time of happiness but also in time of tribulation and trials. To be joyful and not happy, because happiness can only be found in good time while joy can be found both in good and bad times, as it comes from the Lord.
To pray continually not because God do not know our needs, but because we need to humble ourselves and admit that God is God and He is in control.

Isaiah 55 : 8-11 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

To give thanks in all circumstances, in good times and bad times ; when we are happy and also when we are sad.
