Joy!, Part III

There is no greater joy than to know Jesus. It can be very hard to stay joyful as the world turns around us and distracts us away from Him. This is why it is always necessary to remind ourselves daily to be thankful and filled with joy no matter what our circumstances are. It certainly is not easy to do by any means but we must always re-assess the value of the gift of Jesus Christ.

Joy is a key that unlocks God's provision and blessing. Faith and trust in God brings joy. True joy is a byproduct of faith because we know God works His wonders for those who love Him.

Psalm 5:11-12

11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
