FINDING JOY IN LIFE!
Psalm 118:24 – Devotional
Psalm 118:24
“This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and find joy in it.”
I recall my spiritual father, Doctor John Hall, relate a conversation he had with one of his patients. He asked Minnie how she was doing, she replied; “Pretty good, under the circumstances, but life is just so daily!”
I fear that many of us spend more of our time living under the circumstances of life rather than finding God’s eternal joy for us as we soar above the circumstances that we find confronting us each day. We may be surviving, but the Lord wants us to be thriving as we live for Him!
As in every situation that confronts us as we wake each day, we need to find the source of Joy in the Lord. We do that by reading and meditating on the Word of God. It is tragic how many people claim to hear from God, yet they are quick to confess that they seldom read the Bible. Beep!!! Wrong answer!
To find lasting joy in your life, make a covenant with the Lord that you will spend a certain amount of time in His Word each and every day. You may start with a few minutes daily, but I hope it will soon become hours! You will discover you have found true joy in your life!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
