Joyful

In this season of celebration and joy, it seems that we should ponder the reason for our joy-filled hearts. The Scripture gives the answer.

When we fear the Lord, showing Him the reverence He deserves as our Creator and the One who sustains us, we are joyful. When we follow His ways, we are joyful. How do we know His ways? We read His Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer. You cannot get to know someone when you never communicate with them.

So, instead of a season of joy that lasts a few days or a few weeks, let’s be joyful every day because we know the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and we are following Him, all the way to eternity!

He Is Worthy

This is an admonition from my devotional this morning. It’s one to memorize and keep in our hearts, Fearing the Lord is giving Him the reverence He deserves. He is a good Father. We are to serve Him daily. How? By following His Word. Jesus’s last commandment to His disciples was to “go…and tell.” If that is what Jesus told His followers then, isn’t He saying the same thing to us now? Finally, we are to think about all of the great things He has done for us. In doing that, we focus on thanksgiving and the positive things in our lives. There is so much for which to be thankful! This verse encapsulates what our relationship with the Lord should be on a daily basis.

God bless you as you go through today with fear of the Lord, serving Him with thanksgiving in your hearts. He is worthy!
