Today's Devotion:
"BLESSED JOY"
"Man is more himself, man is
more manlike, when joy is the
fundamental thing in him,...
praise should be the permanent
pulsation of the soul."
(G.K. Chesterton)
____SCRIPTURE_______
Matt. 25:21
21 His lord said unto him, Well
done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful
over a few things, I will make
thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
KJV
____THOUGHT_________
The last phrase in the quote
from Matth. 25:21 above
expresses JOY from the
Lord, TO the surrendered
servant of the Lord.
The word JOY is from the
Greek chara...meaning to
have cheerfulness or
gladness.
That word is kin to the
"Blessed" in Matt. 5, where
we find the B-Attitudes.
The Greek for "Blessed" is
makarios, which actually
means to be well off, or
blissfully happy.
On thing of important note
I see here: there is JOY
with the Lord!!
Being WITH the Lord is
being IN His JOY!
Now, I know, this life is not
all JOY.
We have accidents, we
stump our toes, and
sometimes circumstances
seem to drag us down.
Let us think of being WITH
the Lord, participating in
HIS BLESSED JOY!
EXPRESS that JOY by
PRAISING Jesus!!
Love ya!
