- Are you filled with joy and gladness today?
- This is a result of searching for God.
- To search for Him is to seek after Him.
- And even more than that, the Amplified puts it this way, "To inquire of and for You, and require You [as their vital need].
- Do you pursue a relationship with Him as if He is your vital need.
- Vital means you can't live without Him.
- Are you relying on Him completely in every area of your life?
- Or have you gone days without speaking to Him and are relying on your own wisdom and ability?
- When you begin to live without Him, there will be an absence of joy.
- You will accomplish things but have no satisfaction...something will be missing.
- When He becomes your hearts desire and His presence becomes vital to your existence, you will be filled up with joy.
- When you are filled with joy & gladness it spills out into every area of your life.
- Your job, school, relationships, home - every area.
- It's joy despite your circumstances.
- Its joy that rises above obstacles
- It's joy that goes beyond disagreements
- It should be evident to everyone around you...
- And it's a direct result of your pursuit of His presence.
- His presence will transform you.
- His presence will change your outlook.
- It will change your relationships.
- You shouldn't look to others to be your source of Joy
- He is the only true source of joy & gladness.
- And like the Psalm says, you will shout, "God is Great!"
- You will become so filled with Him an His Presence that, that is what will naturally flow out - shouting about Gods Greatness!
- May you be filled with His joy and gladness today!
- I pray that He becomes Vital to you.
- Just like 1 John 5:12 says, "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life."
- When you have Him, you have life.
- He is your life!
- Have a great Wednesday!
