He will take GREAT DELIGHT in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will REJOICE over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
Our joy in the Lord is our strength when we have a deep abiding relationship with Christ. He rejoices over us and imparts new strength to us. His JOY will then start abiding in us. We get joy by abiding in Him by communion where we talk to Him and listen back to Him.
We get joy by meditating on His word and promises.
We get joy by praying for others. Believe me, you will start to rejoice when you pray for others!
As we delight to do His will, He will add joy and strength to us.
In doing in His will, we are not looking for appreciation from humankind for many times we will be disappointed. If our joy is complete in Him, we will never be disappointed. Our weakness is when we look for human affirmation, and don’t get it and get disheartened, depressed and lonely.
ASK
Ask Him for that joy, meditate on the Word and on His character and the good things He has done for you. In time, you will experience His joy, or you may receive it instantly. In this joy, you can soar through any situation in life, rejoicing and your life will change forever!
