Zechariah 2:10
King James Version (KJV)
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
At Issue - Joy
What things give you joy? A beautiful sunset or a starry sky? The smell of your children after a bath? A loving look in your husband’s eyes? The aroma of a cup of coffee or the taste of chocolate? Time spent with a good friend? Of all the things in this world that may bring you joy, there’s one that should top the list: God himself. Ultimately, the pleasure you find in anything else will pale in comparison to the pleasure you find in God. Earthly pleasures are temporary. Happiness itself is short-lived. Joy in God is eternal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord let me receive my joy from you and receive it abundantly. The pleasures of this material life are fleeting but YOU alone can give me true joy and peace.
