Joy
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Psalm 51:12
Psalm 51:12
Pondering Thoughts:
When I was a freshman in high school I sat in a church by myself on a cold winter night. It was completely dark except for the Christ candle glow in the front of the church. I sat to a far side as if I almost didn't think I should be to close or even be in a church. I was not feeling much Joy in my life that day. Questioned almost everything about myself.
Probably that is true for all of us at times, if we are honest with ourselves. There have been other moments in my life since then but this one is one I visualize often. At those moments in life it is about who we are hearing.
That day when I was all alone in a cold church with just One Glowing Candle of Light in all that darkness I just wept. The issues of that day (or others since then) really don't matter, it was about my own thinking and who I was listening to "father of lies" or "Author & Perfecter of Faith". One is Generous Spirit of Redemption/Hope in God and the other attempts to dissuade/destroy that Truth.
God is real and His Spirit dwells within those that simply surrender our hurts/pains/anger to Him ... because His Son Jesus Christ really did die on the Cross ... and really did Rise from the Dead ... for me and you. Listen to His Spirit ..... it will restore His Joy in your walk today.
Hearing the Author & Perfecter of Faith is only by the Word of God .... take time to listen today.
