Awake and Begin Rejoicing! In Philippians chapter 4 verse 4 we are encouraged to rejoice in the Lord always. When you awake in the morning, even before getting up for the day, start rejoicing in the Lord. When that unexpected circumstance arises or your mobile phone announces that your kin folks are only ten minutes away and you have little or no preparation time to receive them; start rejoicing in the Lord. It is so important that your spirit remains triumphant in the midst of all kinds or fleshly pressures and situations.
