Joy

Emoji devotional for Sunday, 15 November, 2020

Highlights:  "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope" (Romans 15:13). 

Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

Joy is also an evidence of God's presence in our lives. In Psalms 16:11 "You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures."

This demonstrates to us that the more joy we have as Christian can be set by the degree of God's presence we carry.

 Our today's highlight from Romans 15:13 tells us that Joy comes from hope in God through the Holy Spirit.

We should be aligned through the Holy Spirit that you have been approved and accepted by God. This is beyond any worldly news as Joy comes from the book of Hope which is "The Holy Bible"

Proverbs 10:28 "The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing."

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.  Ecclesiastes 9:7

Prayer: Lord fill me with more of your presence daily in the Holy Ghost for the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, (Romans 14:17) Amen
