Joy: Joy to the World
"Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice." Philippians 4:4
Rejoice, be joyful, we sing about joy at Christmas. We rejoice in the birth of Jesus. Shouldn't we rejoice all year. Rejoice for every sunrise! Rejoice each time someone kneels at alter and each time someone steps out in faith to serve. Rejoice for salvation and God's love. Never, never stop singing the beautiful Christmas songs we all love.
"Joy to the World," written by Isaac Watts, is a song about rejoicing, rejoicing because the "Lord is come." However, it does say more. it speaks of the heart, sin, and blessings,
'Let earth receive her King,
Let every heart prepare Him room.'
Do you have room in your heart for God?
How do you prepare Him room? Believe. Just believe.
"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Because, with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9,10
'No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow,
Far as the curse is found.'
Don't let sin rule over you and curse your life. Turn to the Lord for salvation and renewal.
"Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19
God's blessings will come. Not like we may dream or imagine, because God's blessings come through His love for us.
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 8:38,39
'And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love.'
