Keep Your Joy
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. —Psalm 16:11 (AMP)
The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. (See John 10:10) Don’t let the enemy steal your joy. “Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” (See Nehemiah 8:10 NLT) James 1:2-3 (NASB) tells us to consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. We can remain joyful in trouble because we know that He is with us and He will bring us through.
Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow! —Philippians 4:4 (TPT)
