As easy as it sounds, rejoicing is not an easy thing to do. Everyone has a thousand and one reasons not to rejoice. Inflation is hitting the roof; all manner of physical and mental illnesses are ravaging people's lives; darkness seems to overshadow the little ray of hope and joy that keeps us going.
However, God's Word encourages you to rejoice greatly and express your joy by shouting. Why? Because there's hope for you. Even in the midst of the challenges and the thick darkness all around you, God promises you a glorious future.
 The King, Jesus, is coming with justice and salvation on His wings. He will deliver you from life's issues and the enemy's oppression, and save your soul. The amazing thing about Jesus is that He will come to you to save you. He doesn't need your gifts or money. All He needs is your heart. He wants you to believe that He is more than able to save, deliver and bless you.
Prepare your heart for the coming of the King. Do not allow the storms and fire you are passing through to consume you and steal your joy. Instead, fix your gaze upon the one who rides on an ass, who can restore you on all sides.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word assuring me that You will not forsake me but will come to me in Your power to save and deliver me. I ask that You fill my heart with Your peace and joy as I wait on You. Let Your joy make my heart leap like a deer, and let laughter never leave my mouth. Help me to fix my gaze on You always and not my circumstances. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
