JOY

 

Psalms 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:

JOY, such a little word with such a big impact, how would you describe the word JOY? Webster describes it as a manifestation of happiness, a feeling of happiness, to rejoice

when life throws us a curve as this life so many times can do Psalms reminds us that even when we’re at our weakest the Joy of the Lord is our strength, the Joy of the word is fatness for our bones,When it seems as though darkness is all around with heartaches, Psalms 30 promises that Joy always comes in the morning, we must remind ourselves that nothing shall separate us from the love of God, Psalms 16 reminds us that in his presence there is fullness of Joy

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith

Joy is connected to each of these words which are described as gifts of the spirit,when we feed on the word it feeds our soul,Joy is a gift, let the Lord stir up the gift of Joy within you and watch all the other fruits begin to unfold in your life

thumbnailCAQV0SE9

have you thought much about what you’re thankful for? If we started with a list I’m sure it’d be  non ending , Freedom, Family,Hope in tomorrow…

1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Psalms 140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence

I can think of eight reasons right off the bat to be thankful for, eight grandchildren

yes we say eight, my youngest daughter is adopting from China, they have named him Reece &he will be joining our family around June or July, God is good!

PRAISE YE THE LORD

(1) Praise ye the Lord,Praise God in his sanctuary;praise him in the firmament of his power

(2) Praise him for his mighty acts,praise him according to his excellent greatness

(3) Praise him with the sound of the trumpet, praise him with the psaltery and  harp

(4) praise him with the timbrel and dance;praise him with stringed interments and organs

(5) Praise him upon the loud cymbals;praise him upon the high sounding   cymbals 

( 6)let everything that hath breath praise the Lord, praise ye the Lord

Psalm 150
