Express Joy Unspeakable! – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional March 27th

(Learn To Draw From The Wells Of Salvation)

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

LET’S TALK
I made up my mind years ago, while I was still a student, to always be happy. I found out early from the Word that nobody was responsible for making me happy. That’s because Jesus already accomplished all that was needed to give me joy unspeakable and full of glory. So, I’ve got joy in my spirit!

Always be excited about the things of God. Don’t wait for someone to make you happy. Having received salvation, joy comes from within you.

The Bible says, “Joyfully you’ll pull up buckets of water from the wells of salvation. And as you do it, you’ll say, “Give thanks to GOD…”” (Isaiah 12:3-4 MSG).

Happiness is a state of mind, and it’s one of the fruits of joy. Then you have other fruits of joy such as laughter, shouting, singing, and dancing.

Do you know that giving is also one of the fruits of joy? When you’re full of joy, you give.

Notice that when somebody asks you for something at the moment that you’re full of joy, it’s almost always a “Yes!” You’re hardly able to just turn them down, reject something offered or proposed, or say “no” to them.

Similarly, when we are filled with joy in the presence of the Lord, we do not need to ask for anything.

All that matters is that there’s a desire in your heart. As you express joy, those desires are granted. The Bible says, “Be delighted with the Lord. Then he will give you all your heart’s desires” (Psalm 37:4 TLB). It’s one of those things that praise and worship make happen for you.

Don’t miss the praise and worship services at Church. They’re very important. You’ll find that your lists of prayer requests will reduce; you won’t have to pray about so many things. As you delight yourself in the Lord, He’ll give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.

Acts 16:25-26; 2 Chronicles 20:22; 1 Peter 1:8

Speak:
I’m always cheerful and exuberant with praise, knowing that as I delight myself in the Lord, He grants me all the desires and secret petitions of my heart. My life is a bundle of joy and happiness. The joy of the Lord in my heart is my strength, and with joy, I draw excellence, victories, prosperity, peace, success, health, and other wonderful blessings from the deep recesses of my spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
