Rejoice

Leviticus 23:40

And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.

A Closer Look

In chapter 23 of Leviticus and starting with verse 33 and going down to verse 40 the Lord is telling Moses to have the Israelites begin the Festival of Shelters. 

The idea was the Lord wanted His people to rejoice in Him for seven days. Actually He wanted them to rejoice all the time, but for now it was for seven days while the feast was going on.

Action
We don't have this feast now, but I was thinking  I about us  rejoicing in what we have. To have a verse that we can look at and help us be happy in the Lord. Others words that we will look at are: glad, joy, joyful, merry. 

So rejoice in the Lord. Be happy even when times are tough because you know that God is with you if you are His child.
