Joy of the Lord

Psalm 19:8
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

We can experience the joy of the Lord by studying and following God's word and, communing with God through prayer and meditation.

When disappointments occur and people fail you, keep your focus on godly things rather than on difficult circumstances or discontentment.

We can also experience joy when we intentionally praise Him, remembering that He is near, praying, and keeping our minds focused on the good things of God (Philippians 4:8).

When we experience the joy of the Lord, it gives us strength (Nehemiah 8:10). True joy only comes from the Lord.

By abiding in Him and obeying Him, we find true joy of the Lord. Amen!
