Sing And Rejoice To Have God With You

"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD."
Zechariah 2:10

For our desertion and desolation to get over (Isa.62:4) and to have God as a mighty warrior with us, to let Him take delight in us and to let Him rejoice over us (Zep.3:17), we have to rejoice in Him and exult with all our heart (Zep.3:14,15).

Total Restoration-Not A Glimpse Of Darkness

"The light of the full moon will be like the sun's glare and the sun's glare will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, when the LORD binds up his people's fractured bones and heals their severe wound."
Isaiah 30:26

God will soon restore and thoroughly heal us of all our afflictions and grievances, when we will reflect His absolute glory, and His glory will be seven times brighter. This blessing, comfort, joy and restoration will surpass all that we have ever been endowed with.

Live Stress-free

"Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it."
Hebrews 4:1

Jesus has a special rest for us (v.9) that He gained for us at the Cross. He, who had no place to rest while on earth, rested His head at the Cross so that we, while on earth, may enjoy His divine rest in our soul amidst all our works. Paul exhorts us to strive to attain that rest in Christ Jesus. We do not need to live stressful lives.

We Are God's Most Treasured Possession

"For the LORD'S portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance."
Deuteronomy 32:9

As we consider it a boon to have God for our allocation rather than having an earthly share, so is the Almighty Father pleased to have us as His portion. He chose us by His grace and set us aside for Him as a treasured possession in order to set us on high above all others (26:18,19).

Allow The Holy Spirit To Intercede

"..he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
Romans 8:27

None but God can search into the hearts of men. The Holy Spirit dwells within us and bears witness with our spirit that we are God's children (v.16). When we know not what to pray for, He inspires desires in our heart according to the mind and will of God and makes it known unto the Father. We can then be confident of the success of such prayer of intercession by the Holy Spirit.

Win God And Be Blessed

"..you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome."
Genesis 32:28

Let us pray with a strong determination (v.26), admit our weaknesses before God (v.11; 2 Cor.12:10) and firmly insist Him to bless us (v.24), and thus win God so that we will have no reason to fear men. We will thus be blessed (v.29) and be redeemed from all evil (48:16).

Don't Extinguish The Fire

"Do not quench the Spirit."
1 Thessalonians 5:19

We ought to be careful not to extinguish the fire of the Holy Spirit. To keep the fire of the Spirit burning within us, we need to meditate the Scripture (Luke 4:32; Psalm 39:3), proclaim of Jesus Christ whenever and wherever we can(Jeremiah 20:9)and carry the goodnews to the lost (2 Kings 7:9).
