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.

Are you a walking testimony of the joy of the Lord?

P.S. When I set out to share the fruit of the Spirit in the believer in Jesus Christ, I had no idea that joy would be so prevalent in the Bible. So we will be lingering a few more days on joy.

Walk by The Spirit – Love

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

Recommended Reading: 1 Corinthians 13

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.12.NASB1995

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.38-39.NASB1995

“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.
John 15:12-14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.12-14.NASB1995

If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.20.NASB1995

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 3:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.16.NASB1995

🌹Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.7-8.NASB1995

Is the fruit of the Spirit – love – in me able to fill a glass, a pitcher, or a continual running river in me overflowing to the glory and purpose of God?

Living By Faith

What does it look like if I am crucified with Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me?

I live by faith. The one who is righteous by faith shall live.
Galatians 1:17; Romans 3:11

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.11.1.NASB1995

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.11.6.NASB1995

🌹For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
Romans 8:24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.24.NASB1995

How am I living differently than the world because of my faith in Jesus Christ who lives in me?
