My Excitement: The Joy of the Lord

December 18, 2024
The Joy of the LORD is my utmost delight! It fills my heart with uncontainable excitement and anticipation. I can hardly wait to join the heavenly host in proclaiming the Holiness of God. The very thought of being part of that glorious chorus, echoing throughout eternity, sends shivers down my spine. To declare the Holiness of God alongside angels, archangels, and the redeemed from every nation, tribe, and tongue, is a prospect too wonderful to comprehend. It’s a privilege reserved for those who have experienced the transformative power of God’s joy.
In that moment, all sorrow, pain, and suffering will be forgotten, replaced by an overwhelming sense of awe, reverence, and adoration. The Joy of the LORD will be the radiant force that unites us, as we gather around the Throne, to proclaim the Holiness of our majestic God. Until that glorious day, I’ll hold onto this joy, allowing it to shape my life, guide my steps, and inspire my worship. For in the Joy of the LORD, I’ve discovered a treasure that surpasses all earthly delights, a treasure that will forever be the source of my deepest excitement and anticipation. Glory to Jesus Hallelujah!
Transforming Life’s Circumstances: The Power of Joyful Living
While we are sti9ll here on earth, this kind of joyful lifestyle is still possible to enjoy, but it must be rooted in a deep connection with God. It profoundly impacts our perspective on life’s circumstances. As we walk in the radiance of God’s Presence, the multiplicity of life’s challenges and uncertainties β with all their twists and turns β begin to pale in significance and relevance.
The diminished impact of life’s vicissitudes on our purview and mindset is a direct result of this joyful lifestyle. No longer do the circumstances of life dictate our emotions, attitudes, and reactions. Instead, we are empowered to face each new day with hope, confidence, and peace, knowing that God is always with us, guiding and directing our steps. As we embrace this joyful lifestyle, we begin to see life’s circumstances through a different lens. We recognize that every challenge is an opportunity for growth, every setback is a chance to learn and become stronger, and every uncertainty is a doorway to trust and faith.
In this transformed mindset, we are no longer controlled by the whims of circumstance. We are free to live life on purpose, with intentionality and passion, knowing that God is always working everything out for our good. As we walk in this joyful lifestyle, we declare to the world that our hope and confidence are not in circumstances, but in the unchanging, all-powerful God who loves us and has a plan to prosper us. This is the lifestyle that is desirable for everyone, but it is only possible by choice when we invest our free will in Godβs Will for us. Both humanity and Kingdom of Darkness have a target at back of those who practice this lifestyle to bring them down or compelled their sorrow. From my experience, the best and most righteous way to live is ELEVATE. By faith, let the Holy Spirit lift your spirit up to daily inhabit the Presence of God in Heaven where He is.
