Being a total believer in the power of prayer. I often find that opportunity is always there to pray with people. There are many that are poor, sick or in need, just waiting for someone to pray for them.
Though I have seen few that want to rejoice.
That is changing.
Meeting people when your out and about, can lead to a variety of
conversations. Usually it begins with a hi and how are you? Most people will
answer with a groan, maybe a sigh. Then they will begin to tell you all their troubles,
Aches and Pains.
Sometimes you don't even have to ask how are you. They just begin
telling you, you could be a complete stranger or a long time friend, Really, it doesn't
matter. It could be someone you meet in the line to cash out at the grocery store, or pharmacy. They will usually tell you all their troubles.
I enjoy asking people how they are doing. For they instantly tell me their sorrows.
Which opens the door to let them know I will keep them in my prayers. Most often
I get a Thank you. Which opens the Door.. to...
Ahhh, well, why wait, why don't we just pray right now.
Sometimes they will say sure, sometimes they will
say oh, ah nah that's okay... Many different responses, from many different people.
Today for the first time the response was unusual.
I did my...
"Hi how yah doin?"
The lady responded, "Wonderful"
I was so shocked... left me speechless.
We chatted, a bit. And went back to shopping.
Then the next store we went to, was a lady sitting on a bench.
I said Hi! She said hi. I asked her hows it going?
She replied.... "Wonderful"
It stopped me in my tracks...
I told her how I heard that same reply earlier with the same answer...
That it really shocked me, through me for a loop.
She smiled a friendly smile.
Although, I kind of knew that when I heard those words "wonderful"
were speaking about blessings in their life. I never did ask
either of those ladies what was wonderful in their life.
Next time I get a reply of such, I will ask.. what is wonderful in your life?
We have ears and we need to hear. Not just the sorrows and tears of those
who are troubled. But we need to Rejoice In the Lord.
When the news is good we need to Rejoice too.
God does not always call for us to pray just for those
who are afflicted, but also by sharing and Rejoicing together
someone who is being afflicted might here.
Like it says in Psalms 34: 1-3.
I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
When God does Good things, he calls us to Rejoice! Just as I prayed for those
who had sorrows, sickness, aches and pains. He requires us to rejoice with those
Who are blessed, or wonderful.
Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice
in all the good things the LORD your God has given to you and your household.
Deuteronomy 26:10-12 He didn't say just you rejoice. He said you the Levites and the foreigners Rejoice.
We shall not be defeated by our enemies. Boasts in Gods deliverance.
Then Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the LORD;
in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. 1 Samuel 2:1-3
Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
1 Chronicles 16:8-10
Hello I think this is me. Is this you? "Those who seek the Lord."
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
1 Chronicles 16:9-11
How can we meditate on his wonderful works, If we do not rejoice. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
Psalm 145:4-6
So as soon as I got home. I began to write this, and searched
Gods word. And I had to Rejoice! For God was Good,
Once again he revealed himself to me. In a fresh new way.The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.
Psalm 118:23-25
James 5:12-14 states that ..
Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Philippians 4:3-5
