VOP 2021: November 25, 2021-Oil of Gladness and Joy unspeakable

VOP 2021: November 25, 2021 Oil of Gladness and Joy Unspeakable One of the best choices you can make is to rejoice and be glad. It might seem difficult when you are faced with difficult times and issues that are overwhelming. However, if you make up your mind to be glad and rejoice regardless of the season of life, Heaven and all the forces of nature will cooperate with your actions and reactions. Even a smile or laughter forced is better than raging or evil response to issues of life. An example is when someone offends you and you are rightly in the position to respond back negatively, you can choose to be still or restrain yourself from the expected negative response. Interestingly, this could melt the heart of the offender and resolve the issue, restoring joy and gladness of heart both to the offender and the offended. Gladness of heart and joy defeats the adversary and God is glorified. Choose to rejoice and be glad at all times. “I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭9:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬. “This is the day which the LORD hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭118:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬.
