Reason to Rejoice

We live in tumultuous times and there are often many reasons to feel anxious, depressed or sorrowful, but for the child of God, even amidst the most difficult of trials we have reason to rejoice. Add to this being poor, and for some this would be unbearable but not for the Child of God. We know with certainty that Jesus our Lord is risen from the dead, that He is ruling His kingdom, the church now from His throne in heaven, and that He will one day return and take us up to meet Him in the air, then to meet the Father face to face. With this hope before us nothing we have but one way to go, up! We can rejoice in our exultation.
