Got Joy?

With all of the things we have to accomplish in our busy lives, one thing we should never forget to do is rejoice! I mean what is the point of having a relationship with such a loving, compassionate Heavenly Father if we can't stop and smell the roses of His blessings?

"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17

Just knowing that Yah will rejoice over us with singing should encourage to rejoice over HIS salvation with the same degree of enthusiasm. I can't believe He gave us all of these diverse emotions simply to suppress or ignore. People have no problem expressing themselves at a soccer game or rock concert. Why is it we suddenly get so self conscious during worship?

Really, if someone has tasted and seen how good God really is, rejoicing isn't an option.... it's mandatory!

"Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!" Philippians 4:4

"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so". We are the redeemed and our "say so" is our testimony of thankfulness to Almighty God through His Son, Yeshua. We can thank them both but all praise and honor eventually go to the Father because He set Yeshua in that high position. Now Yeshua Ha Messiah in turn sets us in our positions of service in his kingdom to come. This is truly something to jump up and shout about so be filled with joy and get your praise going!
