Rich in Joy

Jun26

Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
James 2:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.5.NASB1995

Do you ever notice you’re smiling without realizing it? You might be alone or in a crowd but there is this smile on your face for no apparent reason. This verse brought that to mind. I believe the joy of knowing the richness of faith in God and that I belong to His everlasting kingdom is the reason.

Do you find contentment and joy knowing that you are part of something bigger and better than the life you live now? Are you experiencing the joy of the Lord and His grace being poured out on you?

Is it time to put your trust in Him?

🌹The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.
Psalms 28:7 NASB1995

Salvation Gratitude

Jun7

Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls,

Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/hab.3.17-18.NASB1995

Even in the midst of turmoil we can rejoice exceedingly with triumphant joy because of our salvation. We are headed to the promised land!!
‭
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.”
Isaiah 12:2 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.12.2.NASB1995

When was the last time you thanked God for your salvation?

🌹The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
2 Samuel 22:47 NASB1995‬

The Lord Opens, Raises, Loves

May13

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.
Matthew 20:34 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.20.34.NASB1995

Jesus opens the eyes of the blind, the lost, so they may follow Him and see His salvation.
Is there someone you are or can pray for to have their eyes opened?
‭
He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He set the world on them.
1 Samuel 2:8 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1sa.2.8.NASB1995

Glory to God for raising up those who bow down before Him.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But He loves one who pursues righteousness.
Proverbs 15:9 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.15.9.NASB1995

Are you pursuing the righteousness of God? Are you clothed in the righteousness of Jesus?

‭I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61:10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.61.10.NASB1995

🌹The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises up those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous;

Exult

Mar6

Exult: to show or feel a lively or triumphant joy; rejoice exceedingly; be highly elated or jubilant:

And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; Romans 5:3 NASB

We show triumphant joy in our tribulations?!

We rejoice exceedingly in our tribulations?!

We are highly elated, jubilant in our tribulations?!

Do we, really? It is so easy to take the path of “O woe is me” when tribulation, suffering, or persecution comes. But 

. . .You have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; 1 Peter 2:21‭-‬23 NASB

Jesus is our example and

If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 1 Peter 4:14 NASB

That is how we rejoice in tribulations!

Personally I have found that during times of tribulation and suffering God is the closest. I am more aware of His presence and I grow tremendously as I trust that He is doing a good work in me. And this is why I rejoice in tribulation:

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 NASB

🌹God, help us to exult in tribulation.
