Deep-down Joy


     The deep joy of the Lord gives us a continual bounty of blessings for our souls. The circumstances surrounding us may overwhelm everything, as fear and doubt and worry take hold. This week, let’s focus on the joy that is available to us at ALL times, the deep and abiding joy of faith in Christ.
Though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9
     Inexpressible and glorious joy! Our souls are saved and one day, in eternity, we will be clothed with our eternal bodies forever. Let that deep faith bring you joy. The joy of the Lord, as we will see this week, offers refreshment and strength. God’s love can overcome our troubled hearts.
I will be glad and rejoice in Your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. Psalm 31:7
Lord,
We rejoice in our souls today for knowing You. You give us unending joy in Your presence. Lift up our spirits with Your love and with the joy that brings comfort.
In Jesus name,
Amen
