Joy

Read: Psalm 92 | Bible in a Year: Exodus 19-20; Matthew 18:21-35

I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
Psalm 92:4

I'm fast approaching a new seasonâ€”the "winter" of old ageâ€”but I'm not there yet. Even though the years are galloping by and sometimes I'd like to slow them down, I have joy that sustains me. Each day is a new day given me by the Lord. With the psalmist, I can say, "It is good to praise the Lord . . . proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night"! (Psalm 92:1-2).

Even though my life has its struggles and the pain and difficulties of others sometimes overwhelm me, God enables me to join the psalmist in "[singing] for joy at what [His] hands have done" (v. 4). Joy for blessings given: family, friends, and satisfying work. Joy because of God's wondrous creation and His inspired Word. Joy because Jesus loved us so much He died for our sins. And joy because He gave us the Spirit, the source of true joy (Romans 15:13). Because of the Lord, believers in Him can "flourish like a palm tree . . . [and] still bear fruit in old age" (Psalm 92:12-14).

No matter our circumstances or season of life, we can be examples of His love.

What fruit is that? No matter our circumstances or season of life, we can be examples of His love through the life we lead and the words we say. There is joy in knowing and living for the Lord and telling others about Him.

Dear Lord, thank You for the joy that is ours through the Spirit.

God is the giver of joy.

LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE

Read:
.
The essence of the anointing of God in your life is not for show but for service. Service is a fundamental aspect of leadership. The moment you remove service from your life, there is no room for good leadership. People should see the good example you are showing and praise God for your life....More
