Undeniable Joy – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional November 10th

(Your Joy-Nature In Christ Jesus)

TO THE BIBLE: Isaiah 12:3 AMPC
“Therefore with joy will you draw water from the wells of salvation.”

LET’S TALK
From the moment you were born again, you were brought into a life of unending, undeniable joy. The Bible says in Romans 14:17, “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

Joy is an emotion evoked by satisfaction, appreciation, and pleasure. God was joyful when He created the earth; He appreciated what He made and took pleasure in it (Genesis 1:31). The joy you have is not of this world but of God; therefore, it’s independent of external circumstances.

1 Peter 1:8 describes the joy of those in Christ this way: “Whom (Jesus Christ) having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.”

You see, everywhere Jesus went during His earthly walk, He brought joy to people, and He still does today (Acts 10:38). The joy that comes from your spirit transcends physical circumstances; it’s permanent, and it’ll keep you strong and healthy.

The Bible says, “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones” (Proverbs 17:22). Learn to be joyful and maintain a happy spirit. Joy is a fruit of the recreated human spirit (Galatians 5:22), so you can be joyful at all times.

Produce joy from your spirit by making melodies and singing new songs from your heart to the Lord. The Lord delights to hear your joyful praise. Nehemiah 8:10 says, “…The joy of the Lord is your strength.” God wants you joyful so you can transfer that same joy to your environment.

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for filling my heart with joy unspeakable, and full of glory. I live joyfully today, knowing that you’re my God, and you delight in me, rejoicing over me daily with singing. Your joy is my strength! Thus, I live victoriously every day as I continually maintain a joyful spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
