EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE WITH JOY

““Psalms 32:11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.” ”

God desires to establish joy as the foundation of your walk with him. The Bible says we are to approach His presence with singing and rejoicing and serve Him with gladness , underlining how important joy is to our walk with Him. In fact, every time you are joyful, you take another step into the tabernacles of God.

As long as you maintain an atmosphere of joy, you cannot be touched by the destroyer, this is because, you remain in the Presence of God (Psa. 16:11). You can achieve this by learning to keep your heart and meditation on His faithfulness, goodness, and loving kindness each and every day. Glory to God!

So today, make up your mind to be joyous and express gratitude in your heart. Never trade your joy for depression, sorrow, or bitterness, but rather, cast them away from your heart by deliberately deciding to maintain joy in your heart and around you. Glory to God!
