Walk In The Spirit – Joy (3)

But the fruit of the Spirit is joy
Galatians 5:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.22.NASB1995

Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.” Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, “Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.” Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 12:2-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.12.2-6.NASB1995

Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name And glory in Your praise.
Psalms 106:47 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.106.47.NASB1995

Is your salvation a joy? Does knowing that Jesus is trustworthy and faithful bring joy to your heart as you walk through your day? Do you have a song of joy filling your soul knowing that one day you will be gathered with the saints in praise to our God? Does a smile of joy fill your face that others notice? Are you a walking testimony of the joy of the Lord?

🌹O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
Psalms 95:1-2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.95.1-2.NASB1995

How wonderful to know the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ and walk in His Spirit of joy!

Grace

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.6.NASB1995

Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
Matthew 23:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.23.12.NASB1995

For the hand of God made all things. There is nothing created that did not come into being without Him. God says, But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Isaiah 66:2 /1 Peter 5:5 NASB1995

🌹For though the Lord is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar.
Psalms 138:6 NASB1995

Blessed Are the Gentle

He (Jesus) opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying
“Blessed are the gentle (humble, meek), for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:2, 5 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.2-5.NASB1995

¹The imperishable quality of a gentle spirit is precious in the sight of God and is known by others around them. ²The humble spirit will obtain wisdom and honor, for humility comes before honor. ³Beware, whoever exalts himself will be humbled but the humble will be exalted.

Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
James 4:10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.10.NASB1995

The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches, honor and life.

But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
Psalms 37:11 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.37.11.NASB1995

🌹For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord. “But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.

Philippians 2:8-11

Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:8‭-‬11 NASB

Yesterday’s devotion spoke of the humbleness of Jesus. His grace bestowed upon us. He became poor so we could become rich.

Jesus, my Savior, You are worthy to be praised, for by Your humbleness You brought salvation. What we do see is You, Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels, and because, You suffered death for me and others, You are now “crowned with glory and honor”. Yes, by the grace of God You tasted death for everyone. By this I am humbled, Lord. Out of obedience to the Father You were delivered over to the hands of godless men and put to death, nailed to a cross. For through one man’s disobedience all were made sinners, even so through Your obedience, Jesus, many can be made righteous. For this I am truly grateful. And by Your seeking the will of the Father and not Your own You have shown me what I must do, seek Your kingdom first.
I will fix my eyes on You, Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before You endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sit down at the right hand of the throne of God far above all rule and authority and power and dominion. You are far above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come! In Your glorious, everlasting name I pray, amen.
Hebrews 2:9/Acts 2:23/Romans 5:19/Matthew 26:39/Hebrews 12:2/Ephesians 1:21 NASB

🌹For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
Romans 14:9 NASB

Is Jesus your Lord? Your Savior? If not, He can be. The Bible says,
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Romans 10:9 NASB

Holy, Holy, Holy

The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake! The Lord is great in Zion, And He is exalted above all the peoples. Let them praise Your great and awesome name; Holy is He. Exalt the Lord our God And worship at His footstool; Holy is He. Exalt the Lord our God And worship at His holy hill, For holy is the Lord our God. Psalms 99:1‭-‬3‭, ‬5‭, ‬9 NASB

God reigns. He is on His throne. He is exalted above all the peoples whether we believe or acknowledge it as so.

Reality check. God is holy, whether we believe it or not.

What should be our response to these facts?

Let us praise His great and awesome name.
Exalt the Lord our God and worship Him.

FOR HE IS HOLY!!

🌹How will you respond to God’s holiness today?
