Rejoice!

This week in our summer study the focus is rejoicing. I don't know about you, but some days are harder than others. As I was working on a writing project, I read a passage from 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 which says "May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word."

I came to this realization that God's grace overflows daily. It's not just barely enough. It's more than I can wrap my mind around. That IS encouragement and hope and strength to get me through my day. If there's something to rejoice about, it is God's grace!
