The Value of Joy

The holidays are all about joy. Come to think of it, our salvation is all about joy. That's the conclusion I came to after reading Ps 51:12 yesterday. Here are my thoughts.
  1. Sin steals our joy. David's life lacked joy at this time because of his sin with Bathsheba. If we're not experiencing joy, asking God to reveal sinful acts and attitudes is a good place to start.
  2. If we are not experiencing joy we should be concerned. It's amazing to me how many people go through life treating joy as some sort of extra rather than essential. A lack of joy in our lives is a serious thing to God.
  3. God's salvation, which he extended to us, is characterized by joy. Enough said
  4. It's a very healthy thing to ask God to fill us with the joy of the Lord!
With this in mind I wish you all a very joyous Christmas and New Year.
