God's Promise of Joy

God's Promise of Joy

By: Robert A. Searles

"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." Psalm 16: 11 (KJV) Bible

True joy an happiness can only be found in the presence of the Lord.

"Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:" 1 Peter 1:8 (KJV) Bible

  Christ shows us the paths to righteous living.  That is where he is, and when we walk  on that path with him, we will find fullness of joy.

   "O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days." Psalm 90: 14 (KJV) Bible

When we recognise that God's mercy is being poured out upon us each and every day, it satisfies our needs and we can be glad and rejoicing every day.

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full." John 15: 10-11 (KJV) Bible

When we keep Christ's commandments and abide in him, we will have a song  of joy in our heart always and forever.

Though at times sorrows come, yet we have God's promise that all our sorrows will eventually be turned into joy.

"And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you." John 16: 22 (KJV) Bible

"Mourning may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
