Rejoice!!

<p>The scripture we are using to pray this week is from Psalm 33:1, and it says, “Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! <em>For</em> praise from the upright is beautiful.” The most common definitions of rejoice will say something like “to be very glad” or “to show great excitement” while all these are true, I was struck by another definition I came across, curbed from the Old French word rejoiss, which means "to own, possess, enjoy the possession of, have the fruition of” so when the scripture says rejoice in the Lord, it means to enjoy the possession of the Lord. Let us pray that our children will own their possession of the Lord!</p>
