Find Joy

Promise of the Day:

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:

let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:

let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord,

wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

(Psalm 5:11, 12 KJV)

Prayer:

As I was reading these verses, Lord, a thought came to my mind. Just as the priests first had to step into the river before you parted the water's of the Jordan, so I must lift my heart to You in a 'Sacrifice of Praise' to find the joy You give. I cannot expect to sit in misery and fear and then wonder why I don't have joy. I must keep my thoughts on You, and lift my heart to You, look at the roses, look for the silver lining, and Thank You for Your blessings and peace. Then I will experience Your joy.

Stay in tune with the Master.

He is your strength each day.

Lift your heart to Him in song,

And you shall then find joy.

Amen
