The Lord’s Joy
Children love to play peek-a-boo. They will initiate the game and no matter how many times they pop out from behind a chair, from under a blanket, or from a flowing curtain, they laugh with delight at the joy of seeing the delight reflected on our faces as well.
I am amazed that a child never tires of delighting in those little things.
And I am reminded that God never tires of delighting in us – whatever ‘little’ thing we have done. He delights to see his delight reflected in our faces. Simple as that. We are a delight to our heavenly Father.
May you delight in that truth today.
Count your blessings: A recipe for joy
Having trouble finding joy? Take a moment to count your blessings. Here are my top ten today—blessings which can never be taken away and an eternal source of joy.
1. God is bigger than any circumstance (Rom. 8:28, 1 Jn. 4:4).
2. God keeps his promises (2 Cor. 1:20).
3. You are loved (Jn. 3:16).
4. God’s love is greater than your fear (1 Jn. 4:18).
5. Prayer works (James 5:13-16).
6. Jesus wins (1 Cor. 15:55).
7. Hope does not disappoint (Rom. 5:5).
8. You receive grace on top of grace (Jn. 1:16, 2 Cor. 12:9).
9. You are not alone (Jn. 14:16, 26).
10. God is worthy of our praise (Ps. 100).
“The joy of the Lord is your strength” (Neh. 8:10).
