Joy in the tough times…

 Joy in the tough times…

I appreciated this short article on Biblical Joy this morning after a rather sleepless, painful night…

There are over 200 references to joy from the Scriptures…

 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

Ps.95.1-2

 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment,and his favor is for a lifetime.Weeping may tarry for the night,but joy comes with the morning.

Ps.30.4-5

 Praise the Lord!Praise God in his sanctuary;praise him in his mighty heavens! 

Praise him for his mighty deeds;praise him according to his excellent greatness! 

Praise him with trumpet sound;praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance;praise him with strings and pipe! 

Praise him with sounding cymbals;praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!Praise the Lord!

Psalm 150

 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Gal.5.22-24

Thank YOU….

You make everything beautiful…
