In what ways can we rejoice and give glory to God daily? The Scene in Revelation 19:7 “Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.” (Revelation 19:7) At the climax of history, heaven bursts into praise because Christ is united with His prepared bride—the Church. That same heavenly anthem invites us to echo its joy and glory-giving right now. Reasons Our Hearts Can Rejoice Every Day • We already belong to the Bride—our future is secure (Ephesians 1:13–14). • The Lamb’s victory over sin is finished (John 19:30). • His mercies are “new every morning” (Lamentations 3:22-23). • Nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39). Practical Rhythms for Rejoicing • Start the day with Psalm 118:24—voice it aloud before touching a phone. • Keep a running gratitude list; add at least three fresh items daily (1 Thessalonians 5:18). • Sing or hum a worship chorus while driving or doing chores (Ephesians 5:19). • Celebrate small victories: answered prayers, growth in a child, a kind word received. • Schedule short “praise breaks”; set alarms to pause and thank God. Giving Glory Through Our Choices “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31) • Speak well of God—share how He’s working in ordinary moments (Psalm 71:15). • Obey promptly; every act of obedience spotlights His worthiness (John 14:15). • Work diligently and ethically; excellence points coworkers to the Lord (Colossians 3:23-24). • Redirect praise: when complimented, acknowledge God’s grace behind your abilities. • Steward resources generously; giving reflects His generous nature (2 Corinthians 9:11). Joy That Endures Trials “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials...” (James 1:2) • Anchor emotions in unchanging promises, not shifting circumstances (Hebrews 13:8). • Remember suffering refines faith, preparing the bride’s white linen (1 Peter 1:6-7). • Praise becomes a sacrifice—yet it bears powerful witness (Hebrews 13:15). Staying Ready as the Bride • Daily confession keeps garments unspotted (1 John 1:9). • Regular communion rehearses the wedding feast (Luke 22:18). • Mutual encouragement in fellowship polishes our unity (Hebrews 10:24-25). Snapshot Checklist for Each Day □ Rejoice first thing—declare Psalm 118:24. □ Thank God for three specific blessings. □ Offer a moment of sung or spoken praise. □ Choose one task to perform consciously “for His glory.” □ Share one testimony of His goodness with another person. Closing Encouragement “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4) Because the wedding of the Lamb is certain, every sunrise is an invitation to practice the soundtrack of eternity—joyful praise and God-glorifying living, here and now. |
