The bible tells us again and again to be joyful; joyful in...~ Our Relationships
- "For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you." Philemon 1:7
~ Activities We Participate In
- "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
~ Serving One Another
- "For seven days you shall keep the feast to the Lord your God at the place that the Lord will choose, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful." Deuteronomy 16:15
~ Our Lives
- "Nehemiah said, 'God and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10
~ Our Heavenly Father
- "Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!" Psalms 47:1
One of my favorite quotes is as follows:
~ "Joy is that deep settled confidence that God is in control of every area of my life." - Paul Sailhamer
God gives us such an amazing gift: that is that we have the freedom to be joyful in all situations-no matter the circumstance. This doesn't mean that we are laughing and smiling every moment of every day, but it does mean that deep in our hearts we have a contented joy that comes from Jesus Christ alone. This gives us the confidence to face each day with the knowledge, hope, and excitement that comes from following in our loving Father's footsteps along this, our lifelong journey.
