When some of us were young, it was terribly challenging to focus on the solution to a problem. We struggle with an unusually sensitive conscience. It was acutely tender for us to examine ourselves. Consequently, we appreciate those who struggles with self-confidence. Because of our oversensitive conscience, we learned to control our thoughts through memorization and meditation. Hence, the most significant problem with anxiety is misunderstanding Gods sovereignty. As we began to add to memorization, we hunger for more knowledge and understanding.

 The Apostle is carefully teaching we should always be rejoicing. But he is not exploring an emotional experience but accurately describing our effective response to God as beloved Master.We instantly discover a person who struggles with considerable irritation and social anxiety has some misconceptions of Gods divine sovereignty. This is why effective teaching about rejoicing in the Lord is more than a personal appreciation for answered prayers.
You will find in the old testament heartily rejoicing, praising, resting and trusting are in context of effective communication. The Apostle says our walk is circumspect. We find our social relationships are holistic by way of adequately communicating. Consequently, we need genuinely understanding, Gods effective communication is through covenant promises. And so we must be convinced God is absolutely sovereign so His promises cannot be subtly changed or thwarted.

God has covenanted with us by a statutory declaration. He will accomplish all He promised us. He has sworn He will never leave us or forsake us. God revealed His word to us so we accept the boundaries of relationships. If we misunderstand Gods covenant we will not rest in His promises. Hence, one thing follows another. Rejoicing is based on our knowledge of Gods covenant.

But heartily rejoicing is also based upon Law.If we misunderstand law, imperfectly comprehend how He genuinely appreciates us. Because God enthusiastically embraces us according to effective actions, not wishes or shallow emotions. He ordered all things from eternity past in His counsel. God promotes order by ideal law. You see we will not quite assume the attitude of gentleness or rest until we are reconciled about His final declaration of our childlike innocence based upon Christ active obedience. Because Christ amply fulfilled the law, we are enthusiastically embraced by action. He will amply justify us in independent judgement and amply reward us with all Christ obtained by His faithful obedience. One thing naturally follows the other. The kind of heartily rejoicing determines our proper attitude of gentleness.

 It also follows God has cursed the wicked. Because Christ took our curse upon Himself, God has no longer to wreck us. We entered into His blessing. This means God is not disciplining to promote obstinance. God does not purposely tempt us to sin or sorrowful trials prevent us from being blessed. The purpose of destruction is to prevent the wicked from injuring Gods people and His purposes. He always disciplines us obligated to ruin the works of the devil by trials.God places the price of our suffering on the suffering of Christ. He repays us for suffering in the value of Christ suffering. Consequently, this speaks to our rejoicing being shielded from sorrow that bears eternal punishment. When we are convinced God doubly favors us, we ne'er worry.  

But Gods salvation is complete. There is nothing lacking we need to be saved or delivered. God is wholly satisfied with us because Christ took our curse and sin. He delivered us His righteousness. When we are delivered, we are completely sanctified. Hence, as we rest in our salvation, we show others we are performing to the fullest for the best of saints. The gentleness follows the satisfaction we enjoy in Christ. With this understanding we practice regarding Him to law, covenants, promises, curses and statutes. As this enhances the united culture, we encourage seeking personal needs of others in prayer.
