Jesus Desires His Witnesses to Be Happy ㅡ

“For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.” (1 Corinthians 4:9)

 “But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yes, let them exceedingly rejoice.” (Psalm 68:3)

The Lord is good, and greatly to be praised.

Let us learn to praise Him with our voices, and to realize that at all times we are in excellent companionship—even with God and with His Son, Jesus.

We are a spectacle to the unfallen worlds, to angels, and to our fellow men.

A realization of this will lead us to go forth as the Lord may direct, with a firm, well-garrisoned heart.

Let us watch unto prayer.

This will help us to realize that we are to be under the control of Christ, our divine Leader.

He endows us with steadiness of purpose, with subdued, Christlike impulses, and with sound judgment, enabling us to think soberly, and yet kindly.

Time is altogether too short for us to make ourselves unhappy.

We will, my dear brother and sister, cherish the spirit of happiness, because we know that we have a Saviour who loves us, and who will bless us if we will welcome His presence into our hearts.

We are to be Christ’s little children, learning of Him.

We are fully to believe and practice the truth we profess—that the end of all things is now at hand.

Every moment we must be prepared to witness the unfolding of wonderful events.

Daily we should reconsecrate our lives to the Lord’s service, and open the door of the heart to welcome the heavenly Guest and to receive of His love.
