Joy
|
Joy is defined as "cheerfulness or calm delight;" however, it
has nothing to do with your emotions. Joy is something that is manifested in the
spiritual realm; it is a supernatural joy that gives spiritual strength
(Nehemiah 8:10).
The Psalmist and the Prophet Isaiah both refer to it as the joy of salvation
(Psalm 51:12; Isaiah 12:3).
It is divine joy that results from an experiental knowledge of God's Word
(John 15:11; Jeremiah 15:16).
| Nehemiah 8:10
|
"For the
joy of the Lord is your strength."
|
| Psalm 16:11
|
"Thou wilt shew me the
path of life: in thy presence if fullness of joy; at thy right hand there
are pleasures for evermore."
|
| Psalm 35:9
|
"And my soul shall be
joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation."
|
| Psalm 89:15-16
|
"Blessed is the
people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord in the light of
thy countenance."
"In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
|
| Acts 2:28
|
"Thou hast made known to
me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy
with thy countenance."
|
| Romans 14:17
|
"For the kingdom of
God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, peace, and joy in the
Holy Ghost."
