MONDAY JOY
A 5 MINUTE PRAISE DEVOTION
Get your 'JOY' ON and praise the LORD all week long!

Choose To
Walk In HIS
Everlasting 'JOY'!

"The ransomed of the LORD will return.  They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting 'JOY' will crown their heads.  Gladness and 'JOY' will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
Isaiah 51:11

Today, being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your 'JOY' ON and praise the LORD with us, the whole week long!

"The ransomed will enter Zion with singing.."  Since 'Zion' describes the place where the LORD dwells, this 'JOY' Scripture tells you that since CREATOR ransomed you through the blood of JESUS, you are to come to HIM singing HIS praises.

"everlasting 'JOY' will crown their heads"  It's one thing for you to walk around outside with your hat on, but you have not seen anyone at the Mall with a crown on their head, and yet your HEAVENLY FATHER gifts you with HIS Crown of everlasting 'JOY'.  You can't see the crown with your eyes, but you can, and should, experience HIS everlasting 'JOY'.  HIS 'JOY' begins in your life now and lasts forever!

You sometimes sing songs in Church that speak of beautiful things to come. Some Hymns and Praise Songs mention the wonderful Heavenly Heaven where all HIS Saints will one day gather together to never leave HIS Glorious Presence.

On that day, you will experience the fullness of HIS 'everlasting' 'JOY'.  

Eternal Life and everlasting 'JOY' began on the day you accepted JESUS CHRIST by placing your faith in HIS Name, and is completed on the day you fall asleep in HIM.  

To all of us who have been ransomed by JESUS Blood, let's choose to sing HIS praises and choose to walk in HIS everlasting 'JOY'.
