FILLED WITH JOY
Today's reading: Psalm 9-11

"I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High." Psalm 9:2 NLT

Some of us, me included, have fallen prey to the idea that 'joy' has anything at all to do with outside circumstances, emotions or our plans coming to fruition.

Joy, true joy, has nothing to do with us--and all to do with God!

Joy is the internal gladness that transcends changing circumstances.

Joy is the 'ok of the heart' when the world boils and shifts.

Joy is the 'calm' amidst life's tumultuous waves.

Joy is the 'blessed assurance' that no matter what--God.

Take a moment this Lord's Day and recalculate your definition of joy, what you are depending upon to give it to you and gaining a deeper understanding of it.

We are filled with joy because of Him!
