Season of Joy
"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Philippians 4:4 NKJV) The reality of life is the predominance of adversity and anxiety in human affairs, which queries the existence of God. Invariably, no one should be admonished to rejoice in adversity or anxiety. And neither would Apostle Paul do. Rather, he said to the Philippians "Rejoice in the Lord always". It implies that during adversity, we are admonished to exhibit the character of God that abides within us; while the comfort of the Lord is expected to always rule over our anxieties. Therefore, all times can be the season of joy, if the presence of God overrides our reason for rejoicing.
