It is all too easy to focus on the negative things that happen to you and not stop and count your blessings. When the Bible says to rejoice in the Lord, it is not just when we feel like it. In fact rejoicing in the Lord can help us see our lives from an eternal perspective. As Psalm 100 says:
"A psalm for giving thanks.
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
