seeking joy?

Daily writing prompt
What’s a simple pleasure in life that brings you joy?

Being secure in hope brings the promise of joy!

The Lord in His Word has promises which gives me protection. This is because I have hidden His words in my heart. What this means is, I look to His word and believe that He is whom He says.

I learned to trust Him even when I didn’t understand. I decided to look deeper, spend more time and be more intentional in my searching out the truth.

Sometime during my investigation I believed that He was who He said He was, and that He was my God and apart from Him I could do nothing good for myself.

It is because of this I have found favor with Him as He values His devoted people.

His greatest delight is to be with us!

When we don’t look to Him but instead other things to bring us joy it is like looking to idols. When we try make a great life here without seeking out God. We are destined to bring trouble on ourselves. That which has your devotion will also have your heart.

The choice is simple.

God has made Himself available to all, every nation, every kindred and every tongue. Not one is exempted from the invite to His Kingdom.

Through His Son Jesus Christ we are given life eternal and a joy complete with forgiveness of our sins, this makes all happy and secure that no matter what happens – death isn’t an issue. He keeps what is His.

I am secure in my hope, this gives me the promise of joy.

Do you have the promise joy?

Friends, the truth of Gods Word is the beginning of wisdom and understanding. Don’t lose out on the one investment that is life changing.

Seek His Word and you will find, ask for understanding and it will be given to you, these words are just one of the promise of the Lord God and He never breaks His promises.

In Christ love, amen
