           1 Peter 1:8}–> Though now you do not see Him,   
   yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpessible and full of   
   glory.-NKJV-   
           Christians have many reasons for rejoicing. The   
   primary one is based on who God is–He is sovereign. That is the single   
   greatest truth about God. Nothing is outside His controll, and He   
   controls everything to work out ultimately for our good (Romans 8:28).   
   He has an infinite understanding of every aspect of our lives–where we   
   are and what we say (Psalm 139:2–4). And He exercises His   
   understanding in perfect wisdom. Knowing God like that should give us   
   inexpressible and glorious joy.   
           We should also rejoice because God saved us,   
   adopted us, and promised to give us an inheritance in Jesus Christ (Eph.   
   1:1–11). When Christ returns, we will enjoy His presence and the   
   heavenly place prepared for us (John 14:2–3). Until then, we have joy   
   in knowing God has promised to supply all our needs (Phil. 4:19).   
   Furthermore, we have the privilege of serving theOne we supremely love.   
   That includes sharing the good news with the lost and encouraging fellow   
   Christians to grow in their love and service for Him. We can also have   
   joy in knowing we can pray to God at any time (Heb. 4:15–16).
