"I will be glad and rejoice in YOU; I will sing praise to YOUR Name, O MOST HIGH."
Psalms 9:2

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 'JOY' of the LORD is a choice.  "I will be glad and rejoice."  You make a personal choice in allowing yourself to be glad and rejoice in the LORD.  On the other hand you can be silent, sullen or what so many people call, normal.  The LORD allows you the choice to walk in HIS gift of 'JOY' or you can choose to walk in the flesh.

Walking in the 'JOY' of the LORD opens many doors to you.  When your heart is filled with HIS 'JOY' you live with HIS gladness in your soul. Everything you experience in life is so much brighter and filled with hope when you look through 'JOY' filled eyes. This freedom is possible through the Baptism of the 'JOY' of the LORD.

Walking in the flesh closes many doors to you.  When you refuse to live in HIS 'JOY' then everything you experience in life will be negative and hurtful to you and those you love.  Your view of life and especially your view of the LORD is one of hardness and suffering.   

Choose the Baptism of the 'JOY' of the LORD to be a part of your life forever.  Humble yourself before your CREATOR and express your gladness and 'JOY' to HIM for HIS marvelous gifts to you.  Today and everyday, live your life in the 'JOY' of the LORD!
