Let's talk....

Today's word is JOY.
Dictionary.com defines the noun JOY as: the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation.

Joy comes to us when we get excited about something good. Rehearsing the good things that have happened in our lives can be a source of joy.
When we remember blessings we have received, and the promises that we have it should bring us joy.

Scripture tells us that there was a time when the children of Israel had lost remembrance of the law. But it was found, and read aloud to all the people by Ezra the priest.
When they heard it, and understood it - they wept.
They were instructed by Nehemiah not to weep, but to rejoice:
Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

This is the greatest joy - The Joy Of The Lord!
It is as we reflect on His goodness, think of His greatness, and meditate on His word, that we receive this great joy:
The Joy of the Lord is your strength!
