Stirred By The Scriptures

I have probably blogged about this before but since it has struck me again it will serve as a reminder to all of us.  Two of the things we are told to do in the Body of Christ are to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice.  Here is my observation - we are far better at weeping than rejoicing.  Rejoicing means that things or at least something is going well for the person.  What makes it difficult is jealousy.  My life maybe hard and I don’t feel like rejoicing.  Those are the times in life when God needs to stretch me,  for me to believe that he is working in my life and to trust him.  That is when it is possible to rejoice with someone else.
