I Thessalonians 5:16

I Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore. Wow! This little verse is only two words, but it packs a big punch! OK, for you English students: “rejoice” is the verb and “evermore” is an adverb, but where is the subject? Answer: The subject is “you understood”. So who should rejoice all of the time? YOU should rejoice evermore! And that is a command from God. So, can we rejoice when bad things happen too? Well yes. That’s because we need to remember that God will use even bad things in our lives to do something good. With God, even bad things will turn out good. So, we can rejoice when good things happen to us and we can rejoice when bad things happen to us, because the bad things will ultimately be turned around by God into good things. Ain’t God good?!
