"I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart... Where? Down in my heart! Down in my heart! I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart to stay......A children's song I know... But a song that should mean a lot to us as adults...
Where is your joy? In what do you find joy? These are important questions we need to ask ourselves... It can make a difference in our lives forever...
John 16:24 tell us: "Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." We have to ask God for our "daily bread" and if you continue to look at the Lord's Prayer it goes on to say, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." How is God's will done in heaven??? Willingly, I can tell you... You're not going to tell God that He has to wait for you to do something when you are in heaven... He's right there with you ... you're going to do it the moment you are asked... Why then do we tell God to wait while we are here on earth??? We don't believe He is in front of us... We do not "see" Him physically, so we tell Him to wait....
Joy then for us is hampered... Joy that God wants to see displayed among the people we come in contact...
Instead of "Let's get the lead out..." my hope is that we will say "Let's get the joy out!"
Prayer of the Day: Jesus please help me show your joy to everyone I come in contact with today!
Keep Lookin' Up!
Brian
