Rejoice Even Now
I'm waiting for the results of the cancer biopsy and you know what I feel?
Ann Wilson: I’m waiting for the results of a cancer biopsy. Do you know what I feel?
Dave Wilson: I know what I feel: scared.
Guest (Male): This is Real FamilyLife with Dave and Ann Wilson.
Ann Wilson: Fear, worry. I'm stressed about it. Then I go to 1 Thessalonians 5:16 through 18. It says, "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." I find that hard to do when I'm scared.
Dave Wilson: We all do. It’s overwhelming, and yet there’s truth staring you in the face.
Ann Wilson: I think the only way I can do it is when I’m in the Word; I’m reminded that God is good. When I’m listening to worship, I’m reminded God is with me. When our eyes are fixed on Him, we can rejoice and be thankful in all things.
