The deep joy of
Jesus, even facing the agony to come, can be embedded deep within our souls.
The Holy Spirit seals us when we first believe and comes to reside within us.
The deep peace and joy of our blessed assurance in eternity provides our souls
with an abiding rest.
When our human
emotions, struggles and trials begin to take over, as they will time and time
again, we can choose to focus on Jesus. Fix your eyes on Him and on hope. Joy,
complete and eternal, is waiting for us.
For His
anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last
through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5
What joy
for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a
pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Psalm 84:5
Jesus,
You are the joy of our hearts. Place our hearts and minds
above the earth to You today. Remind us continually of the joy to come.
Amen
