Author:  Evangelist Lisa Dalton

“Rejoicing in the Lord”
Scripture: Psalm 32:11, NIV

"Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!"

Devotion:
Psalm 32 reminds us of the transformative power of forgiveness. After experiencing God’s mercy, David calls on the righteous to rejoice! When we walk in alignment with God—living upright in heart—we are invited into a joy that surpasses circumstances. This joy isn't dependent on fleeting emotions but is anchored in the reality of God's grace.

Application:

• Rejoice daily—even in challenges, find reasons to praise God for His goodness.
• Embrace forgiveness—remember that joy comes through repentance and God's mercy.
• Share joy with others—your rejoicing can encourage those around you to seek the Lord.

Prayer:
Lord, I thank You for the gift of Your forgiveness and the joy that comes from knowing You. Help me to live uprightly and to celebrate Your goodness each day. May my rejoicing be a testimony to Your faithfulness. Amen.
