Reflection:
The joy of the Lord is my strength and it works itself out in very practical ways in our lives. The joy of the Lord has inspired many to know that we serve a God that loves us and is working everything out for our good. God is our rock and we can depend on him during the trials and uncertainty in life. The Lord loves you more than you could possibly imagine. As we continue with our consecration, fasting and special prayer we can be sure that he is leading and guiding us by his word. How have you experienced the joy of the Lord?
Romans 8:28 (NIV)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Psalm 100 (NIV)
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Stay prayerful and read the following daily:
Psalm 91
1 John 3:18
Galatians 5:21-23
Matthew 6:9-13
