Psalm 43:4 (NLT)
“….I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy…….”
“….I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy…….”
Father you are the source, the center, the
circumference, the core, the substance and the essence of our joy. Your joy is
infinite in that it is eternal and finite in that it is personal. Your joy
gives us strength in our trials and hope in our despair. Your joy heals broken
hearts and restores shattered dreams. Your joy brings meaning to life and
expectation to the future.
How beautiful and with what amazing insight did
Habakkuk write: “Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the
fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the
cattle barns are empty, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD! I
will be joyful in the God of my salvation!” Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NLT)
Father such is the nature of
your joy given to us through trusting you. It is your very presence with us and
in us that Jesus speaks of in John 15:11 (NLT)
“I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your
joy will overflow!”
Thank you Father for the joy that is ours in Christ as the
Apostle Peter spoke of: “You love him
even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust
him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.” 1 Peter 1:8- (NLT)
With Happy Hearts, Amen!
