Abiding in God is truly not just a joyful place, but a "Joy-filled" place.
Here are 2 verses which speak about our Joy being FULL.
Psalm 16:11
In your presence there is fullness of Joy, at your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
John 16:24
Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive that your Joy may be full
God wants you to be filled with Joy and the "positioning" for JOY is in his presence.
The words speak of Joy - Joy in the Lord. Joy is not found in things, people or just the right circumstances, but is found IN THE LORD.
My simple prayer for you today is this:
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope
Amen
Here is an exegesis on:
What is the Joy of the Lord?
And a song to bless you
So whatever challenges come your way this week my friends - choose joy.
Count it all Joy.
James 1:2 - 4
2 Count it all joy, my brothers,when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Walk good in Christ
My friends
Till we meet again
