Today's Devotion:
"The JOY of the LORD"
Though challenges rise,
and doubts appear,
Remember, brighter days
are near.
__________SCRIPTURE__________
Neh. 8:10
10 Then he said unto them, Go your way,
eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send
portions unto them for whom nothing is
prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord:
neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD
is your strength.
KJV
__________THOUGHT__________
Ecclesiates 3:4 says, "A time to weep, and
a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time
to dance."
In a clear running creek, one can SEE the
rocks beneath.
Those rocks are strength!
They ENDURE the swift water that flows
over them.
The JOY of the LORD is a deep spiritual
power that comes from knowing the Lord!
And, when the swift flowing waters of life
run over us, we can still sense the POWER
of God in our hearts.
That power brings STRENGTH to the soul!
It is a GLADNESS that comes from the
Spirit of God within the Christian.
That gladness is a CONSTANT move from
a genuine relationship with God through
surrender to Christ Jesus.
The JOY of the Lord within us is STRENGTH
to SUSTAIN us in a troubled world!
For we are "...KEPT by the POWER of God
through faith unto salvation ready to be
revealed in the last time." (1Pet. 1:5)
The JOY of the Lord is KNOWING that we
are ABLE to travel through difficult times,
and, one day REACH that "expected end,"
which God has prepared for us. (Jer. 29:11)
REMEMBER to WHOM you BELONG!
And, let the JOY of the LORD be your
STRENGTH!
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
