Walk In The Spirit – Joy (7)

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

Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:16 NASB1995

Have you experienced the joy of God’s Word? Have you trusted His promises? Do you know His promises?
I encourage you to read your Bible daily. There are apps you can use that will lay out a daily reading plan.
Need accountability? Join an app with a friend or two or more.
Ask questions. Share how God spoke to you through His word. Share how you plan to apply His word. Reading with others helps in your growth in Jesus.

May God’s word be a joy and delight of your heart today so that you can say . . .

🌹I have inherited Your testimonies forever, For they are the joy of my heart. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, even to the end.
Psalms 119:111-112 NASB1995

New Year’s Resolution #2

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:8-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.55.8-11.NASB1995

All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.
Isaiah 53:6 NASB1995

New Year’s Resolution #2
Surrender and Follow Jesus

🌹For you will go out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:12 NASB1995

My Portion

The Lord is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.
Psalms 119:57 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.57.NASB1995

“Portion” is written in several different translations as:

The Lord is my inheritance, my choice, my share in life, my everything, all I want, mine.

With the Lord as our portion how can we not desire, promise, to keep His word? How can we keep His word unless we feast on His word daily? How can we know Him as our portion without His word?

🌹“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.
Lamentations 3:24-25 NASB1995

God’s Treasured Words

I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Job 23:12 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.23.12.NASB1995

But it is still my consolation, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Job 6:10 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.6.10.NASB1995

Please receive instruction from His mouth And establish His words in your heart.
Job 22:22 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.22.22.NASB1995

🌹I have sworn and I will confirm it, That I will keep Your righteous ordinances.
Psalms 119:106 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.106.NASB1995
How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth

Thank You God For Your Word!

For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 NASB
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 9:15 NASB
in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 NASB

🌹Jesus, the indescribable gift (Romans 5:15-21). Jesus, the Word became flesh (John 1:14). The Word that speaks of God’s will. Thank You God for Your word that performs its work in those who believe.

Continually Seeking Him,

The Bible

He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
Psalms 107:20 NASB

The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.
2 Kings 23:3 NASB

God shows the way,  His perfect way, through His word. God sent His word so we don’t have to walk in darkness and ignorance. If we don’t read God’s word we don’t know how to walk with God in fellowship, love and obedience.
Josiah surrendered his heart and soul to walk with God and to keep His word. And the natural outcome is that others will join you in following by the testimony of your walk and talk.

Praise God for His word and the privilege of living out His word before others.

🌹From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the Lord is to be praised.
Psalms 113:3 NASB

Blessed?

How blessed are those whose way is blameless (complete; or having integrity), Who walk in the law of the Lord.
How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart.
Psalms 119:1‭-‬2 NASB
Are you blessed?

They also do no unrighteousness; They walk in His ways.
You have ordained Your precepts, That we should keep them diligently.
Psalms 119:3-‬4 NASB

🌹Seek God with all your heart, walk blamelessly in His ways, the law and testimonies of His word. Know God’s word so you may diligently keep His word and be blessed.

What Are You Professing?

They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.         Titus 1:16 NASB

What are people in the world seeing in you? Do they see themselves? Living life in discontent, fear, greed, selfishness, pride, disobedience?

Or do they see Jesus? Contentment, peace, godliness, righteousness, giving, loving, mercy, grace, obedience – the qualities of Christ living, abiding in you?

Is God’s word planted in your heart? Is He your constant companion? Are you fully aware of His presence throughout your day? Are you clothed in His righteousness? Obedient at all cost to His will, His plan, His purpose?

The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 1 John 2:4 NASB

A sure gauge, plumbline to assess ourselves. Jesus is the Truth. If He is abiding in you then obedience to God will be evident. The Holy Spirit enables us to be obedient to His word, His commandments, His will and His purpose.

Without Him we are nothing, able to do nothing. With Christ in us we are able to be content whatever the situation, be fearless in the unknown because we are secure in the One who knows all and able to be obedient.

🌹 Are others seeing Jesus in you?

Continually Seeking Him,

Sharon
