Give
Forth An
Acclamation Of
SHOUTS
OF 'JOY'
To JESUS!
"Blessed
are those who have learned to acclaim
YOU,
who walk in the light of YOUR
presence, O LORD.
They rejoice
in YOUR
name all day long; they exult
in YOUR
righteousness."
Psalms 89:15
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!
"those
who have learned to acclaim
YOU"
There are aspects of praising the LORD
that we have to learn and then practice. There are great
blessings for those who hear GOD'S
Word and then obey. The word, acclaim
means to SHOUT OUT OR TRUMPET LOUDLY THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD!
To acclaim, is to give out
SHOUTS OF 'JOY' TO
JESUS!
You are probably very familiar with the words; "Please turn
that down!" or, 'Please be quiet!". You are
likely to have heard those words when you were a child or have found
yourself saying them to your own children. As a matter of fact,
it wasn't very long ago that the words; "Children were meant to
be seen and not heard", were quite common.
Paul and Silas were two men who knew how to acclaim
JESUS. In Acts 16:25, these
two brothers began to get their 'JOY'
ON and acclaim the LORD
around midnight when the other prisoners were trying to sleep. Many of these prisoners had been seriously flogged and beaten just
like Paul and Silas, they were in a great deal of pain and sleep is
healing. As Paul and Silas began to wake the place up with songs
and SHOUTS OF 'JOY'
, many voices would have been screaming things like; "Would
you two just shut up!" "I'm in a great deal of
pain over here! " "I need my sleep!"
"Turn it down in there! " "Shut
up before we all get another beating!"
While Paul and Silas were busy giving an acclamation
of SHOUTS OF 'JOY' TO JESUS, "there
came such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were
shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains
came loose." {v 26} You can bet that everyone
got their 'JOY' ON
at that moment!
This is the nature of the acclamation
of SHOUTS OF 'JOY' to JESUS! You and all
those around you are totally set free from their chains! Are you
ill, are you depressed, are you at the end of your rope? The
LORD will break the chains holding
you a prisoner as you give forth an acclamation
of SHOUTS OF 'JOY'
TO JESUS! Today and everyday, live your life in the 'JOY'
of the LORD!
