Rejoice: Return to Joy
“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” Philippians 4:4
As we continue in this Year of “Re,” we are seeing how many of the “Re” words in Scripture call us to return; to revisit truths that anchor our faith.
One meaning of the prefix “Re” is again. The Apostle Paul captures this idea beautifully when he writes: “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, rejoice.”
Paul repeats the instruction because rejoicing is not something we do once and move on. It is something we return to again and again. Our hearts naturally drift toward worry, discouragement, and uncertainty. Because of that, we must continually redirect our focus back to the Lord. Every time we turn our focus back to Him, we find joy again.
Although the world may seem out of control… Rejoice.
When circumstances feel heavy and uncertain… Rejoice.
When the path ahead seems unclear… Rejoice.
Why? Because God is still on the throne.
Rejoicing does not mean we ignore difficulty. It means we continually return our hearts to the truth that God is still sovereign, still faithful, and still at work.
So in this Year of “Re,” we take Paul’s instruction seriously:
“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, rejoice.”
Over the next few weeks, we will continue unpacking what it means to rejoice and how we can keep returning to joy no matter what life brings.
