Saturday; May 19, 2012 My Joy Is Too Precious Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4
My joy is too precious. I rejoice in the Lord always and again I tell you I rejoice. You see this day -this beautiful wonderful awesome great day was given to me as a gift by God - I rejoice - I rejoice - I am filled with great joy. You see my joy is too precious to let anyone try to take it - my joy is given to me by God, filled in me through Jesus, and kept in remembrance by the Holy Spirit. You see the joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord keeps me, guides me, comforts me, strengthens me, renews me, restores me, revives me. My joy is too precious. My heart leaps for joy for the Lord is my strength and my shield and my heart trusts in Him and I am helped and I will give thanks to Him. You see I love to hear this song - I’ve got joy, joy, joy down in my heart -I have joy, joy, joy down in my heart to stay. I have joy, joy, joy and my joy is too precious. To many times we mix the word joy with happiness - the two have nothing in common. You see happiness depends on something happening and joy depends on God and all that He is doing. Joy is there in the middle of the chaos, happiness runs away. Joy is there in the middle of the mess, happiness most times won’t even show up. Joy is there at the beginning - in the middle and at the end of the test - happiness only shows up at the end. Joy is with you in the trials and the tribulations - happiness shows up at the triumph.
JOY GIVES US OUR STRENGTH. JOY HELPS US LAUGH THROUGH OUR PAIN. WHERE THERE IS JOY THERE IS HOPE - WHERE THERE IS HOPE THERE IS PEACE - WHERE THERE IS PEACE THERE IS LOVE - WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS PERSPECTIVE - WHERE THERE IS PERSPECTIVE THERE IS FOCUS. WE ARE TO DELIGHT OURSELVES IN THE LORD - WE ARE TO DESIRE ALL THAT GOD HAS FOR US - WE ARE TO KNOW THAT JOY - THE JOY OF OUR LORD IS OUR STRENGTH. MY DELIGHT IS THAT THE DESIRE OF MY HEART IS TO HAVE JOY COMPLETE IN HIM. WHEN I AWAKE MY DAY IS BRIGHTENED BY THE JOY OF THE LORD. OH GOD I THANK YOU TODAY - I REJOICE AND I AM GLAD AND AGAIN I TELL YOU I REJOICE - FOR IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE LORD ON MY SIDE - I TRULY DON’T KNOW WHERE I WOULD BE. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD I WOULD HAVE LOST MY MIND. BUT I THANK YOU GOD - I THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE WITH ME - I THANK YOU THAT YOUR JOY IS NOT BASED ON THINGS BUT BASED ON WHO YOU ARE - I THANK YOU TODAY GOD FOR REMINDING ME THAT MY JOY IS TOO PRECIOUS. |
