Fountain of joy
The Lord God strengthens us that we shall be patient amidst challenges in life. He usually encourages us to pursue good goals through the magic of his word. The scripture says, ‘And I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in my name, saith the Lord (Zechariah 10:12).’
Though we live in a situation that demands much of our patience, with our trust in God, we are joyful because we love his name and we know that he is the one that defend us. Though we are weary or our eye is consumed because of grief, the Lord hears our supplication (Psalm 6:6-7).
We plead to him to hear us on our call, to him that is the God of righteousness. He is the one that enlarge us when we are in distress (Psalm 4:1). We shall know that he is near when we are touched during worship. That’s why we need to pour out unto him our sentiments and lift his name in our uttering. The Holy Ghost shall help us.
Call upon the Lord then, who is worthy to be praised. When we are in distress, we should call upon him and cry to our God who shall hear our voice out of his temple (Psalm 18:3,6). His law is perfect and his commandments are pure, that our eyes are enlightened making wise the simple (Psalm 19:7,8).
The fear of the Lord is clean and because of it we endure. His judgments are true and righteous altogether (Psalm 19:9). How can we part from the Lord for he is our life and he is desired more than gold and silver? Let us trust in the Lord and be not ashamed for the Lord does lift up our soul. Let us lift up our hands then toward his holy oracle.
It is the Lord that shall deliver us through his righteousness. Bless him at all times, for the righteous cry and the Lord hears them and delivers them out of all their troubles. The salvation of them is of the Lord and he is their strength in the times of trouble (Psalm 34:17, 37:39).
Let us renew our commitment to the Lord. Let’s bear in our heart the fountain of joy, the one that shall clean our souls washing our hearts from impurities. The Lord shall help us to be new fitted to enter in his temple. With his word, we are strengthened cutting off unwanted branches of our life. Our troubles shall come to pass.
Let our heart be fixed, that we shall sing and give praise for his mercy is great. Wait upon the Lord for from him comes our salvation and our expectation is from him. Because he has been our help, in the shadow of his wings we shall rejoice. Praise the name of God with a song and magnify him with thanksgiving (Psalm 63:7, 69:30).
Let us approach God for he shall anoint us with oil. Let us come unto him for us to be filled with the Holy Ghost. It is the Spirit that shall lead us to the Fountain of Joy. There will be smiles and laughter as from our belly flow rivers of living water (John 7:38). With the Lord, we shall be filled to the full.
