Some will sing, while song will be silenced

In his parting words of Psalm 63, David tells people that he (as King) will continue to praise God. He implies that the mouths of liars will not silence him, but rather will be silenced themselves.

"But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced." - Psalm 63:11

Is this something that you find easy or hard to do? I mean - trusting in the Lord even when things haven't yet been resolved? I find it hard at times, but am learning more and more to 'rejoice in the Lord' and leave the results to him.

Rejoice - Advent word

"You have enlarged the nation
    and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
    as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
    when dividing the plunder." - Isaiah 9:3

When the Bible includes a word three times in a short space of text then we should stand up and take note. This is the technique that Isaiah uses in chapter 9 - he wants us to get to grips with the theme of Rejoicing. In a time when people were depressed and miserable, Rejoicing seemed unlikely, but certainly hoped for. The same could be said for many people today -  there is a lot of strife in our communities, but the longing to 'Rejoice' and be Glad can keep us going.

Luke 1:14 - He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth.

"There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice." - John Calvin
