Shout For Joy

Sep4

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy Before the Lord, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.

Worthy of Praise

May15

. . . Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the Lord in holy array.
1 Chronicles 16:25-29 NASB1995

Prayer of Cleansing

Mar24

Purge me with ¹hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that You have broken rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Psalms 51:7-9 MEV
https://bible.com/bible/1171/psa.51.7-9.MEV

Are you walking in the depths of sin? Jesus is waiting to cleanse you. Jesus is waiting to bring you joy and gladness. Jesus is waiting to hear from you. . .

🙏
God,
May You purify me, that I may be clean.
May You wash me, that I may be whiter than snow.
May You make me hear joy and gladness.
²For Your eyes are on all my ways; they are not hidden from Your face, nor is my iniquity concealed from Your eyes. Forgive me of my sin and clothe me in Your righteousness, Jesus, for I have no righteousness of my own. Lead me in Your truth. In Your way. For Your glory!

🌹“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.22.NASB1995

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

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

It is not always easy being joyful during times of discipline and growing in our faith.
When the trials of life come.
The struggles. Hardship. Facing the unknown. God is there . . .

All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
Hebrews 12:11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.12.11.NASB1995

🌹Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

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

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Luke 15:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.15.10.NASB1995

Salvation should be celebrated! A new life, a new beginning, walking under the grace, mercy, and love of God. Are we as joyous as the angels of God over a person who has found salvation in Jesus Christ?

But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.’ ”
Luke 15:32 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.15.32.NASB1995

I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Luke 15:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.15.7.NASB1995

Is salvation a one time joyous event and then put in the closet, under the bed, a moment in time unimportant, forgotten?
Isn’t salvation supposed to be life changing? Time altering? Soul surrendering? Obedience seeking? God honoring? A joyous life?

Only if the Holy Spirit is residing in us can this be accomplished.

Let us celebrate with joy over every salvation and walk alongside that person(s), encouraging and building them up in Christ for His glory and purpose.
