Day 11 "You Are Joyful"
The Father’s Imparted Joy
Good Morning Beauties!
“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah. That your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!” Psalm 67 (ESV)
I absolutely love this verse, especially as we begin our third attribute, Joyful. I’ll admit, it’s one of my favorites because it’s foundational to our life in Christ. More than a feeling, it’s our underlying support system given as a gift from God.
We know the enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. Where has he stolen your joy? Will you allow the Holy Spirit to reveal some of those places so you can bring them to the Lord? Selah.
Those lies of the enemy can be replaced by the truth of God’s word today. Let’s look at a few verses to bring you encouragement on your journey.
“Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil. On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: ‘Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.’” Zephaniah 3:14-17 (ESV)
Do you believe God looks upon you with great joy? It’s true. This is the good news, found in God’s Word. You have been forgiven, your enemies have been defeated, the Lord is with you, his perfect love has taken away all fear, he has given you strength, and he rejoices over you with singing. Now that, my Beauties, is a reason to sing and shout!!
Let’s get on our feet and give all our praise and adoration with a joyful spirit to the One and Only, Jesus!
