The word for today - Joyful !

Good morning,

The word for today - Joyful !

 

What did John say was his greatest joy? Read 1John 1:3-4,That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.What did Jesus do knowing the joy that was set before Him? Read Hebrews 12:1-2,Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.The word of God tells us to make a joyful sound from within us.  The word of God tells us to rejoice and praise His name. For the Lord is good. Now get this, this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glade in it.Read Psalm 98:4-6,Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.  Lets look at Psalm 33:1-4,Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. It says all His work, not some are for your good. To be able to make a joyful noise to the Lord, you must first have the joy of the Lord within you. Read Nehemiah 8:9-10, And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 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. The Lord wants us to be joyful people. What did Paul say would fulfill his joy? Its in Philippians 2:1-3,If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. We are to have the same love for one another with gladness.. Now read Psalm 100:1-2,Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
